Dolly Parton’s voice feels like a warm hug welcoming the audience home. From the moment the production begins, there is constant laughter and fun. On the production’s opening night, the energy in the State Theatre never wavered from its high, both on stage and in the seats.
If crime-dramas are your go-to genre like they are mine, then you might be familiar with a trend in recent years which I like to call: the HBO-crime and Hollywood-actress pipeline. And I don’t mean ‘pipeline’ like a TikTok influencer to pop-star sewer pipeline, I mean a formula that’s placed women at the forefront of what once was a male dominated genre.
A young Zoomer sits down to watch Netflix’s Persuasion (2022). With their TikTok-addled brain and preference for eggplant emojis over love letters, the Zoomer is not the target audience for dreary period pieces. But fear not! For this is no regular adaptation—this is hip Austen, cool Austen, Austen for the social media age.
From the crossroads of J-Rock, indie, and shoegaze, Japan made its biggest play for the global domination of the genre through the rise of a band that went by the name of Kinoko Teikoku—Saif Durrani charts the rise and fall of the Japanese shoegaze icons.
Netflix's latest series 'The Sandman' is a compelling and provocative tale that angers, saddens, delights and forces your to question all at once. It would do well, one hopes, for the inevitable ensuing seasons of the series to follow the footsteps the first engraved behind.
Come over for dinner! We’ll discuss what we’re having – Hugo usually cooks… Between lulls in conversation, you’ll hear this week’s playlist; what we’ve been listening to and why. You can imagine how dinner goes between two arts students, a bit of this and a bit of that. Movies, poems and art will be yanked out of obscurity and dissected between bites of tofu (non-audible bites of course). So grab a plate and join us on Thursdays at 6pm on Radio Fodder.

After a long day, coming back home to an empty apartment or just being in your room by yourself can get a little…lonely. Sometimes, a little “girl talk” is much appreciated and what better thing to talk about than love? Grab a box of tissues and think back to those days spent curled up in a blanket sobbing to a rom-com after encountering your first heartbreak, or a failed friendship, or both. Think of the good moments, too. It’s time to reflect. Everyone has something to say about love, so why not talk about it? Let’s face it! We’ve all been there! Because love is a language we all know and understand, so, let’s talk about it. And put aside the butterflies and rainbows in your stomach that keeps you up at night—love is much much more. It’s universal. So what is it? What is love—in all its many forms? Tune in to our conversation, Fridays at 5pm!
