Dear Netflix: Longer breaks don’t build hype, your audience does
Share: Recently, the Duffer brothers defended the long wait for the next season of Stranger Things, saying they “like the buildup.” That idea made sense when the second season followed a year after an amazing first season with its unique characters and storytelling. However, using hype to justify longer gaps between seasons shows how out of touch they are with their audience. Netflix thinks breaks like this boost viewership and build hype, but it makes people forget their show even exists after a long, unnecessary …
‘Red Bike’ takes a heartfelt ride through childhood worries
Share: When I sat down to see Nicole Javier’s production of “Red Bike” performed in the Center for the Arts theater, I had no idea what I was in for.

After a year of waiting, people finally gathered in the lobby of the theatre, anticipating the ending of …
Oneohtrix Point Never brings life to lost media on ‘Tranquilizer’
Share: In 2025, Daniel Lopatin watched a collection of early nineties sample CDs he wanted to use on his next project vanish from the Internet Archive due to a DMCA takedown. Many months later, it mysteriously returned. This experience led him to create an album drawing on the ephemeral nature of both physical and digital media, a theme that has remained omnipresent even in his earliest work. Despite how thoroughly he’s covered this theme, “Tranquilizer” feels fresh, unique, and feels like a beautiful evolution of …
I have been changed for good by Wicked’s second act
Share: “Wicked: For Good” came out this past weekend, much to the anticipation of fans. The second act came out a year following the release of the first movie. This was a bold movie on the part of the creators, who decided to split a 2 hour, 45 minute stage musical into two movies totaling 4 hours, 57 minutes. Some thought of it as a cash grab, but it was worth it in the end. The movies were able to expand on storylines that seemed …
