Some things are hard to shake. Do you ever say something and immediately regret it, and it kind of becomes one of those things you lay awake at 3am thinking about? I feel like that’s a shared human experience. Sometimes I’ll remember something I did years ago – like how cringeworthy I was as a preteen. Remember … Continue reading Day 5: Ghost Magnetic – David Cook
Love is fun. You have cute dates, meet each other’s families, and just have a good time. It’s easy, right? Well, no. It’s fun, but not always easy. Love is a commitment, too, no matter who you love. Not just romantic partners, but family and friends. You commit to spending time with them, showing … Continue reading Day 4: All Fired Up – Matt Corby
Ah, breakup songs. They’re an integral part of our societal fabric. It’s cathartic to hear a heartbreaking song when we’re going through heartbreak. Just picture it. Picture your high school boyfriend just dumped you. What do you do? Crank up the tunes, that’s what. I remember the first time my heart was broken. I was … Continue reading Day 3: Art of War – Anberlin
If you’re anything like me, you spent three hours of your weekend with your butt glued to a movie theatre seat, along with billions of other people across the globe. Was it to see Penguins? Maybe, but probably not. See, if you’re like most people who want to avoid spoilers, you went to see Avengers: Endgame this weekend so … Continue reading What Makes a Good Hero (And What Makes A Great One)
Lately, I’ve been on a bender. No, not that kind of bender. I do have some standards. I’ve had a little bit more free time than usual, and I’ve spent it catching up on my backlogged Netflix queue. Do you know what 90% of my Netflix queue consists of? That’s right! True crime documentaries. In the past week, I’ve … Continue reading The True Crime Obsession
Welcome back to Media Minute! Sorry it’s been a hot minute (hahahaha) since I’ve posted, but I’ve been busy outside of the realm of consuming media (in some cases, I’ve been producing media. Gasp.) But I am back with a little taste of what I’ve been digesting (somehow, that analogy doesn’t really land) for the past month-ish, … Continue reading Media Minute: March 19, 2019
He paraded around like a petulant child. Objects – expensive objects – were thrown across the room in fits of tantrum-like rage. He’d whine when he didn’t get his way. He even went so far as to drop his laptop on the ground and shatter it. When this grown adult boss realized he had broken his assistant’s … Continue reading Why Are Iconic Bosses So Mean?
Ah, February. The month of love, where meet-cutes galore happen in coffee shops across the country, romantic proposals sweep the nation from shore to shore, and the perfect kiss happens almost every day of the month – Wait, does that actually happen in real life? In case you’ve been living under a rock, no. It doesn’t, not … Continue reading Media Minute – February 13, 2019
On most occasions, we do our best to avoid them. Our cursors hover eagerly over YouTube countdowns until we can skip the remainder of an ad. They interrupt our music flow. And they serve as only a bathroom or snack break on any other night we find ourselves watching network television. But then, on but … Continue reading Hot Take: Why do we care about Super Bowl ads?
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” No, it’s not Christmastime, and that’s not Andy Williams singing – but it is someone with the same initials! Me. It’s me. Right now. Because it’s Oscar season (pew pew-pew pew!) My favorite thing to do during Oscar season is pretend I know more about movies … Continue reading Oscar Predictions 2019
