In 2025, Hollywood’s most reliable special effect wasn’t CGI—it was cloning its stars. Michael B. Jordan played twin brothers in Sinners. Robert De Niro played rival mobsters in The Alto Knights. Robert Pattinson played a man and his copy in Mickey 17. Theo James faced off against his evil twin in The Monkey. Even Superman found himself doubled, with David Corenswet facing off against his evil clone Ultraman. Add Elle Fanning’s twin act in the newest Predator film and Dylan O’Brien’s bleak comedy Twinless, and it starts to feel less like coincidence and more like obsession.

This season, we watched fashion’s most storied maisons get handed over like relay batons—Demna at Gucci, Jonathan Anderson at Dior, Blazy at Chanel, Jack and Lazaro at Loewe, PPP at Balenciaga, and a wave of lesser–known but just–as–high–stakes appointments. It was a game of musical chairs so dizzying it felt like the end of an era—and the start of a new one. But in a landscape increasingly driven by quarterly earnings, social media virality, and sheer aesthetic fatigue, the real question is: does anything actually matter anymore?

It’s 4 p.m. and I’m running around Rittenhouse Square, looking for someone interesting to talk to. Arts beat Beatrice Han is by my side when we spot Sylvia and Effie, donned head–to–toe in goth couture.

It becomes increasingly difficult to romanticize autumn as the colorful leaves slowly turn brittle, a constant reminder that winter is approaching. But the changing scenery also hints that winter break is inching ever closer, and the anticipation of relaxing, reuniting with friends from home, and reconnecting with family members radiates all across campus. The holiday season is thrilling, but it can also be a stressful time: while bringing everyone together over a delicious meal can be meaningful, it can also unintentionally bring up family tensions and uncomfortable conversations. While it may feel easier to shy away from these uncomfortable interactions, the lighthearted romantic comedy Nobody Wants This reminds us that sometimes it's best to approach them head–on.

When I first met Dr. Katie Schuler, I immediately felt a sense of comfort. Her presence radiated genuine warmth and friendliness. I could easily imagine Schuler’s classroom being full of the same energy, creating a welcoming space where even intimidated or overwhelmed freshmen could feel at ease.

In 1878, English photographer Eadweard Muybridge (yes, that is really how his name is spelled) assembled a series of photos depicting the movements of a horse as it galloped across a stage. Though he didn’t know it at the time, these “electro–photographs” would eventually lead to the development of the first movie camera, paving the way for photography to move from capturing moments to telling stories on screen.

It’s hard to maintain critical distance from a film when you keep bumping into its director on the street, but Urchin (2025) made that impossible anyway. I immediately saw it a second time while at Cannes, partly because the film was so good and partly because the universe kept throwing Harris Dickinson directly into my path. I ran into him on the Croisette three separate times like some sort of strangely tailored omen, and then capped off the week by getting a photo with Frank Dillane right after he won Best Actor at the Un Certain Regard closing ceremony.

In Shih–Ching Tsou’s Left–Handed Girl, Taipei glows like a fever dream. It’s a city that never stops selling—night–market snacks, secondhand kitchenware, wholesale jewelry, you name it—but it also trades in the lives of its people. The film’s neon–lit streets and humid night markets form the backdrop for a portrait of working–class womanhood that’s both romantic and devastating.

I’m falling asleep in the back of the dark lecture hall when suddenly, plaster bodies wrapped in plastic packaging fill the screen, instantly snapping me awake.

Located in Southwest Philadelphia, the neighborhood of Eastwick rests on marshland 11 feet below the Delaware River. Residents face a unique predicament when the first drops of an approaching storm paint the sidewalk: As water swells from Darby and Cobbs Creeks and combines with rushes from the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Eastwick is flooded with up to five and a half feet of water. Just miles from the bustling streets of Center City, the neighborhood sits at the crossroads of an intense flooding crisis that will only worsen amidst a shifting global climate and insufficient governmental action.

For Mackenzie Coultoff (W ’25), music is more than a passion; it’s her pulse. She shows up for our conversation in a leather jacket and gold hoops, her easygoing smile as effortless as her style. There’s a quiet confidence about her—the kind that comes from juggling a dozen roles without ever seeming rushed. “I just really love what I do,” she says with a shrug, as if being president of Penn Records, Co–Chair of Wharton Cohorts, and a jazz musician on the side is no big deal.

If you are reading this, you’re probably a little bit of a weirdo. That, or whoever gave you this magazine most definitely is.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder, which affects 3.8% of young Americans, is often misrepresented throughout our culture, from movies that show repetitive handwashing as the end–all be–all of compulsions to that one girl in your class who swears she’s “so OCD” because she likes her room clean. Today, a new generation of therapists and creators alike are flocking to TikTok and Instagram to call attention to what really goes on in the brain of someone who has OCD, while also showing audiences that those pesky four–hour rumination sessions and perfectionist tendencies have a clinical diagnosis. Significantly, they extoll the virtues of exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), a powerful tool for new and returning patients.

Olivia Dean is en route to being the ninth woman in a row to win Best New Artist at the Grammys. Like many previous winners, she’s been releasing music for almost a decade and—by virtue of TikTok’s algorithm—appears to have blown up overnight, boasting over 51 million monthly Spotify listeners as of December. This experience can be jarring—see Chappell Roan’s cynical take on celebrity life—but as she rises in fame, Dean continues to release music, bringing love and soul to the stage.

It is a well–known fact that the scariest moments of Halloweekend occur on Sunday morning, after the festivities have officially concluded. Lo and behold, this Halloween proved to be no different. While making the dreaded walk to the Hill College House communal bathrooms (after scrolling through all forms of social media to check for messages a former version of myself might have sent), I heard what can only be described as my worst nightmare: Christmas music. On Nov. 2.

Every year, new moments enter the cultural zeitgeist—new slang becomes ingrained in our vocabulary and political figures become our little dolls to jerk around. With the increasing pace of online trend cycles, it can be difficult for anyone not chronically online to catch up. Luckily, Street has alarmingly high screen times and endless burner accounts. On the off chance you somehow missed whatever six–seven is, or the momentous Zohran Mamdani win in the New York mayoral race, Street’s got you covered.

We’ve all heard the saying “survive ’til ’25.” And while the entertainment industry may still be asking for more time to heal, there was certainly no shortage of output this year. Whether you prefer the cozy, C418–backed gameplay of Minecraft, you’re a fan of the high–tension lovable ragebait of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, or you adore The Last of Us but find yourself too scared to pick up a controller and play it (though I would encourage you to put on a brave face and try), there is an adaptation for you. Originals also have their moments, with A24 indie darlings putting their stars on the map, family dramas winning the Cannes Grand Prix, and animated musicals about a K–pop girl group topping the film and music charts for months on end. Whatever your preferences, this year had something for everybody—and some of Street’s most chronic Letterboxd users are here to tell you their favorites.

It is possibly the single most windy afternoon of the year when Wei–An Jin (C ’26) and I take our seats at Tea–Do in University City. One would think being indoors would allow us to avoid the sounds of the harsh winds muddying our conversation, but alas this afternoon must also be the busiest in Tea–Do history. Thus, Wei–An and I reminisce on her time at Penn while conversing over the blaring pop music and an overworked boba–shaker machine.

Earlier this year, The New Yorker pondered whether music criticism has lost its edge. Gone are the days of musicians throwing sandwiches at reporters who diss their lengthy songs. Have art and culture magazines become all bark and no bite for fear of repudiation?
