Let’s not mince words — from the moment I saw the first trailer for Jordan Peele and Justin Tipping’s new movie, “Him,” on April 18, I knew this movie was going to be my most anticipated release of the year. A longtime fan of Peele, I’ve followed his career diligently, especially over the last few…
“What the Constitution Means to Me,” a Tony-nominated play, was performed by a Mizzou alum and students at the Rhynsburger Theatre from Sept. 17-21. The show, told in an autobiographical style, navigates how the Constitution has affected women throughout American history. It explores the triumphs and the pitfalls of the law through the lens of…
I’ve enjoyed Big Thief’s music since eighth grade, when my best friend picked out their 2016 debut album “Masterpiece” from a gloriously large CD binder in her mom’s car. That drive introduced me to a whole new genre that I’ve come to appreciate ever since. Big Thief’s music is particularly pleasing because of the lyricism…
I first discovered Twenty One Pilots in 2013, when they were the little-known opener for Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco on the Save Rock and Roll Tour. I was 7, way too young to attend but old enough to listen to their album, “Vessel.” The record ended up being a staple in…

Released on Aug. 22, the album “I Barely Know Her” features the viral hits “back to friends” and “undressed.” Sombr kicked off his musical career in 2021, releasing…
Dacus initially announced “Forever Is A Feeling” on Instagram back in January, with the release of the first single, “Ankles,” soon after. Her 2021 album “Home Video” is, in my opinion, one of the best albums ever created — seriously, take a listen — so I can admit that my bar was rather high. “Ankles”…
To put it lightly, the return of “Yellowjackets” was my most anticipated event of the year. Set to return with its third season on Valentine’s Day and extend into April, I immediately planned to watch every episode with my best friend from home. I’ve been a massive fan of the show since season one, and…
It’s been 20 years since “Star Wars” fans watched Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker turn to the dark side. Since then, the film has gifted us countless iconic lines, scenes and characters that make it so celebrated, even two decades later. The third episode of the “Star Wars” franchise, “Revenge of the Sith,” was rereleased in…
