Musical Review: Jagged Little Pill

Review by: Laurel Wang Creator: Alanis Morissette Rating: 3.5/5 “Why are you so petrified of silence?” demands Frankie Healy (Lauren Chanel) on “All I Really Want”, the introductory number of Jagged Little Pill. However, the musical, adapted from Alanis Morrisette’s 1995 album of the same name, seems unable to answer its own question. Between eight principal characters, heavy, intertwining plotlines, […]

Review by: Josie Lorenz Directed by: Peyton Reed Rating: 2.5/5  For a movie that has been heavily hyped since its announcement over two years ago, Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was so incredibly average.

Album Review: Let’s Start Here

Review by: Shrija Shandilya Artist: Lil Yachty Rating: 4/5 Lil Yachty’s fifth studio album, Let’s Start Here, is indicative of his reform.

Album Review: Honey

Review by: Laurel Wang Artist: Samia Rating: 2/5 On first listen, Samia’s sophomore album, Honey, recalls Rupi Kaur, the thousand dying gasps of teen Tumblr blogs, and confessional poetry. But the album’s haunting introspection ultimately reveals little beyond a hollow sound, as if the twenty-six-year-old singer isn’t quite sure of what ghosts she’s running from, either. In an interview, Samia […]

Movie Review: M3GAN

Review by: Laurel Wang Directed by: Gerard Johnstone Rating: 3.5/5  Few movies can say their pursuit scenes come with choreography. But for M3GAN, it’s a claim to fame. The horror-comedy craftily bridges the gap between the genres, delivering a fresh, tongue-in-cheek take on the doll horror movie. Gemma (Allison Williams), a toy robotics engineer, settles soundly into the role of […]
