The first time I moved to another country by myself, I thought I could fit my entire life into one suitcase. After sobbing at the airport and begging the airport staff to forgive my bags being 22 pounds overweight, I learned my lesson.
What happens when the architect of “brat summer” turns her attention to 19th–century misery? The result is an irresistible but radically inaccurate treat where Charli xcx’s and Emerald Fennel’s creative minds merge. On Wuthering Heights, Charli xcx trades sweaty club floors for windswept moors, and in the process, proves that obsessive love sounds surprisingly good with a bass drop.

At the beginning of January, over 17.2 million people traveled to Ohio, Squamish, New Orleans, Tuscany, Barcelona, and New York. And the best part? They were able to do it all in under two hours, without leaving their homes.
Thirty years ago, in December, a young Casey (Drew Barrymore) burnt popcorn so badly that it caught fire and one of the most iconic film franchises of all time was born. As Scream 7 releases this year, it pays to take a second and reminisce on the series’ journey to this point. The original Scream (1996) is a near–perfect movie, combining the traditional elements of slashers like Halloween and Friday the 13th with a healthy dose of pithy, self–referential humor. Although the magic of the first film will never be replicated—due to a severe lack of Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard)—Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and a continuously evolving cast of characters have, in one way or another, fought constant iterations of Ghostface longer than most people at Penn have been alive. In that time, Sidney has grown up, but not away, from her past, which continues to haunt her. The last couple of installments of the Scream franchise have been directed by Matt Bettinelli–Olpin and Tyler Gillett—who abandoned their work on hit film Cocaine Bear in favor of directing Scream (2022)—and breathed new life into the franchise that was caught in dire straits after Scream 4 (2011) and the (deserved) downfall of Harvey Weinstein.
Have you ever wished that the world’s elite would just explode into puddles of blood and stop bothering us already? Me too! (Legally, that was a joke.) Although this is a faraway fantasy, considering that, scientifically, these things don’t just happen, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)—the long–awaited sequel to 2019’s Ready or Not—allows us to dream for just a little while.
Despite being well past its closing, Houston Market continues to be filled with the lively conversation of Weingarten tutors and other students who have sought refuge from the bitter wind. After failing to find vacant seating on the upper level, Crystal Yang (C ’29) and I finally find a quiet spot near Bento with—to our surprise—swiveling stools. Amid the uncharacteristic peace of the Market, Crystal begins to reflect on the creation of her passion project, Audemy, which has turned from a few lines of code to a full–fledged nonprofit that makes popular games like Wordle and Roblox accessible to blind children.
The exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the first museum retrospective of Noah Davis’ work, and the only North American stop. The paintings are arranged in an open, expansive space, so both the artwork and the viewers are able to breathe in the legacy and grief that weighs heavily in the art. Davis’ works, while steeped in unspent tears, do not wallow in pity but instead contemplate the underbelly of America’s past, and the collective suffering of the human experience through the backdrop of loss. The paintings work as stages of healing and belay the conviction that progress will be made. The exhibition reveals Davis’ enduring commitment to translating the felt world and textures of life into a language only paint can speak.

Somewhere between a missed train in Switzerland and a CGI trophy, Jet Lag: The Game figured out how to make modern media feel personal again. What looks like a group of friends yelling in airports is, in reality, a carefully engineered hybrid—part game show, part hangout, part branding experiment—that understands its audience far better than most prestige television ever has. To dismiss it as novelty content is to miss what makes it one of the most interesting experiments in modern media. Jet Lag isn’t just a travel competition or a reality show—it’s a carefully constructed hybrid that sits between traditional television and creator–driven content.
When I committed to Penn, I saw an opportunity to finally experiment with my style. No longer was I restrained by the identity I made for myself in high school. College was a clean slate, and I was ready to revolutionize my wardrobe and see my personal fashion sense develop. So naturally, I reached for my phone to see what was trending. Imagination often sprouts out of roots in imitation, and I needed a foundation to build off of.
Ramadan is on the horizon, just a week away. For two billion Muslims worldwide, including the several hundred thousand who call Philadelphia home, Ramadan represents several things: reflection, community, and faith, to name a few. Most notably, however, this month is all about food, or rather, the lack thereof. While much attention is given to the long hours of fasting, underdiscussed is the relief provided by the warm, delicious iftar meals at sundown.
Last time we spoke, dear reader, we here at Street bestowed upon you life–changing pearls of wisdom to get your 2026 back on track. However, on the off chance our resolutions haven’t yet transformed you into one of Penn’s most artsy, dateable students, we’ve got you. Past the fog of the couple–oriented festivities and the seas of your hand–holding peers, there are plenty of things to do this Valentine’s Day weekend. It’s okay to be single (for some, it's ideal!) but sulking and isolating yourself aren’t.
Lace up your Nikes and get ready to ball.
I arrived at the early screening of Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights ten whole minutes before it began, yet nearly every seat was already taken. With only the front row available, I had to crane my neck to see the screen. Despite this less than ideal viewing circumstance, the long–awaited film swept me away into a world of love, yearning, and, of course, desire. Despite oftentimes straying from the source material, the emotion infused in every moment of the film made it well worth the neck pain. And the reactions of the crowd, filled with readers and movie buffs alike, seemed to agree with me. Wuthering Heights is an exceptional reimagination of the classic tragedy, using raw emotion and a distinctive aesthetic style to enthral all audience members alike, regardless of whether they’ve read the book.
I don’t quite remember when it was, but one day, while I was doomscrolling on Instagram, my ears were blessed by a very lyrically complex, melodic sound that definitely cannot be described as “ostrich squeal rap.” As the line, “Shout out Martin Luther K–i–i–i–ing” emanated from the speakers of my phone, I knew I had struck gold with rapper Yuno Miles.
It shouldn’t really come as a surprise: Amassing a total of 73 million followers across the internet, Mark Fischbach, alias Markiplier, released his first feature film, Iron Lung, in 4,000 theaters nationwide on Jan. 30. Written, directed, and acted in by Fischbach, it is already, in no uncertain terms, a massive financial success. With a budget of only $3 million, its opening weekend saw a domestic gross of $17.8 million and an additional $3 million in international profits.
The box office for horror in 2026 is already off to a strong start. With titles like 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, Scream 7, and The Strangers: Chapter 3 all either out or releasing later this quarter, horror continues to be a reliable genre for theatres to fill seats.
A well–written pop song can become inescapable once it leaves its mark across platforms, saturating TikTok feeds, dominating streaming charts, and echoing from car radios. Some of the most persistent earworms of the modern era have come not from traditional pop stars, but from beloved fictional characters. And yet, even when a trio of superhero K–pop idols can conquer the internet, the charts, and the cultural conversation, the biggest award stages remain far harder to claim.
The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia is known for its Victorian–cabinet style spectacle of medical anomalies and preserved organs. Strolling through, visitors can see the Mütter American Giant—the tallest human skeleton on display in North America—or examine drawers from the Chevalier Jackson collection filled with objects removed from patients’ airways or digestive tracks. Other cases hold malignant tumors and pathological specimens, ranging from slices of Albert Einstein’s brain to Grover Cleveland’s tumor. One of the museum’s most well–known exhibits is the plaster death casts and conjoined liver of Chage and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese twins.
