A few years ago, Riverdale was one of the most popular teen shows on network television. It made huge stars out of its lead actors, became loved and hated by many for its ridiculous storylines and generally memeable moments. Then the show fell apart, the wild plotlines made less and less sense, and it escalated to a level of cringe and confusion that made it harder and harder to follow. Now, it’s one of those shows that you might play in the background when it eventually makes its way to Netflix months after its airdate on the CW.

Jewish representation in entertainment is a slippery slope. Religious rituals are often portrayed inaccurately, stereotypes are perpetuated, and values are misconstrued. Every once in a while, though, a series or movie comes along that highlights the triumphs and talents of the Jewish community. The upcoming Oscars shine the spotlight on a handful of Jewish icons, in the wake of several antisemitic 'jokes' that recently aired in popular shows.

Watch one episode of The Eric Andre Show, and you’ll see just how much comedic chaos one man can bring into the world. A master of jokes and pranks, Eric Andre spends his screen time interviewing celebrities and celebrity impersonators, shocking innocent civilians, partaking in what producers describe as “deranged” man–on–the–street segments, and wreaking havoc in the studio.

As the salty smell of artificial butter swirls around, you lean back in your squeaky seat, and the lights begin to dim. The room is somehow both freezing and stuffy, but the surround–sound volume and larger–than–life screen transport you to a fantasy world of your choosing. There’s truly nothing that compares to the timeless movie theater experience, something cinephiles have been missing since the onset of the pandemic.

It has been over 20 years since Sex and the City first graced our television screens. In many ways, the show was groundbreaking. It was funny, smart, and to many, a true–to–life depiction of female friendship, sex, and singlehood. But as times have changed, it’s no longer the relatable, easy watching that it once was. Especially with an HBO Max reboot recently announced, it’s important to look at this iconic series through a more modern lens.

When the whole world became remote, everything from schools, to businesses, to doctors adapted as best as they could. The last 12 months have been one great big technological and social experiment, as regular gatherings, appointments, and events have been forced to relocate to Zoom. The recent Golden Globe Awards were no exception, but they were certainly a standout—and for all the wrong reasons.

If The Bachelor is loved for one thing, it’s the drama onscreen. If The Bachelor is hated for one thing, it’s the drama offscreen. Most recently, it’s been the controversial casting of Matt James, contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’s past racist incidents, and host Chris Harrison’s comments on the entire matter. Unfortunately, none of this is all that surprising, as the fan–favorite reality show has never deserved praise for its diversity.

She is inappropriate, sharp, hilarious, and profound—oftentimes all in the same joke. You may know Phoebe Waller–Bridge as the creator and star of Fleabag, Amazon Prime’s tragicomedy that landed 11 Emmy nominations in 2019, but she is also much more. Waller–Bridge’s work started off with playwriting, but since her rise to international fame and seemingly universal critical acclaim, the comedienne has had her hands full with projects: creating Killing Eve for BBC America and Run for HBO, cowriting the new James Bond film, playing L3–37 in Solo: a Star Wars Story, and now remaking Mr. and Mrs. Smith alongside Donald Glover.

Millennials and Gen Z 'cuspers' all know what random dancing, spaghetti tacos, and a sock full of butter have in common: They’re all crucial elements of the quirky iCarly series, an all–time favorite on Nickelodeon, and a series that defined more than a few childhoods. From 2007 to 2012, the show followed teen best friends Carly, played by Miranda Cosgrove, Sam, played by Jennette McCurdy, and Freddie, played by Nathan Kress, as they created and produced their own weekly web show.

"What would you do if you were stuck in one place, and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?" is Bill Murray’s classic, existential line in Groundhog Day. Though in his case, he’s stuck reliving the same day over and over, his words also encapsulate the endless stretch of February—the repetitive melancholy of late winter days that has now been magnified in the midst of a pandemic that, more or less, keeps us confined to our homes day in and day out. As I weather the lonely pandemic winter, I’ve found myself sinking into the comfort of rom–coms. One corner of this genre has been a specific joy: the time–loop romance movie.

Before Kim Kardashian broke the internet, before Kendall Jenner became the highest–paid model in the world, and well before the world was obsessed with Kylie Jenner’s lips, the Kardashian–Jenner clan were just a wealthy family living in Calabasas, Calif.

Monday nights. We don’t celebrate them because the first day of the week has finally come to an end. We celebrate Monday nights because The Bachelor franchise has claimed one night of our week as theirs, and we happily gave it to them. It is the one part of the week where we can sit down with a glass of wine and indulge in the best type of drama—the kind that isn’t our own.

February is Black History Month, and in the wake of recent protests and riots against police brutality, it’s vital that we honor it by educating ourselves and each other. When high school history classes reach the civil rights era, textbooks feature figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and sometimes Malcolm X, but gloss over hundreds of other Black pioneers and heroes. Most of us don't even learn about the Black Panther Party, which made strides forward for its communities but was vilified by the American government.

When people ask me what career I'm thinking of pursuing, I usually respond with "psychologist." However, the real answer is that I want to be Uma Thurman when I grow up. Part of it is an infatuation with the fantasy of who she is as a drop dead gorgeous movie star, but there's more to it—and her—than that.

When you’re single, there’s no day more lonely than Valentine’s Day. With candy hearts and bouquets of flowers being loudly shoved in your face, we often seem to forget that there’s more to love than just romance. Placing romance on a pedestal often leads to unrealistic expectations about relationships and causes many people to define themselves in relation to their significant other. While Valentine's Day can be a great day to celebrate romantic love, we often seem to miss the importance of friendships, families, hobbies, and more. Of course we know romantic love isn't the only kind of love, but with Valentine's Day coming up, we should do better to remember it.
