Share: It’s October! A Southern California fall means 80-degree weather with brown leaves and a little sprinkle of rain here and there but the excitement is consistent across the country for Halloween. A factor that is pretty much exclusive to Southern California is the mainstream amusement park options of Knotts Scary Farm and Horror Nights at Universal Studios. While these are both top tier choices, which one should be the go-to? Which amusement park can get you the most bang for your buck, which attractions …
Let ‘For All The Dogs’ out, and take it for a walk
Share: After a full season of teasing, Drake released his creative collection of recent albums with the highly anticipated “For All The Dogs” leaving me a little frustrated and unsatisfied, on the first listen. Coming in, it was difficult to know what to expect with this album seeing that the previous three gave a completely different vibe and went in multiple directions, but the consensus with most hip-hop fans was wanting the “old Drake”. The project opened up with “Virginia Beach” a smooth and poetic …
‘Gen V’ proves teen dramas can be a bloody good time
Share: “Gen V” is a spinoff of the popular Amazon Prime television series, “The Boys,” based on the Dynamite Entertainment comic book by Garth Ennis. While “The Boys” initially felt like it was very loosely following the comic book storyline, it was always going in its own direction and has been veering away from the source material with each season. “Gen V” follows suit in that it takes an element from the comic book not yet explored in the T.V. series and recontextualizes it to …
Star Wars pays tribute to its animated roots in ‘Ahsoka’
Share: While 2023 opened with the mixed experience that was season three of “The Mandalorian,” the Star Wars saga is once again back, this time swinging for the stars with their latest show “Ahsoka.” Although this show isn’t without its flaws, its open and infectious love for both “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels” can just about make me look past its flaws. At its simplest, “Ahsoka” is a follow-up to “Rebels” an animated show that ran from 2014 to 2018 on …
Free concert series delivers all that jazz
Share: Buzzing with life, students piled together into the west patio of the Center of Arts on Thursday, entranced by the musical stylings of PCC’s jazz and guitar ensemble.

‘Dumb Money’ is actually quite smart
Share: Following in similar footsteps to films such as “The Social Network,” and “The Big Short,” “Dumb Money” tells a tale of a very contemporary event that disrupted the entire industry it was a part of. Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Paul Dano, Shailene Woodley, America Ferrera, Seth Rogen, and Pete Davidson among others, it is yet another example of why historical dramas should not be relegated to purely telling stories the majority of the audience wasn’t even around for. “Dumb Money” is the …
GAME OVER! ‘Saw X’ humanizes inhuman killer, and it somehow works
Share: Where 2021’s “Spiral: From the Book of Saw” set out to imitate the feeling of a classic “Saw” movie, “Saw X” jumps up to properly give fans of the gruesome franchise just what they’ve been asking for. This one delivers a proper, bloody disgusting, and compelling entry in the long-running series. “Saw X” launches the audience back to the early ’00s, between “Saw” and “Saw II,” when cellphones still flipped up and down and search engines were in their infancy. Tobin Bell returns as …

Fans ‘disgusted’ after Urías’ arrest on domestic violence charge
Share: Dodgers jerseys and merch-filled classrooms can be spotted all throughout PCC as many students and staff declare themselves as fans, but will that change after Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias’ arrest on domestic violence? The Dodgers have remained a contributing factor and staple to the Los Angeles culture, especially the Hispanic community for many years. Dodgers star pitcher Julio Urias has been a representation for Mexican Angelenos since he signed with them in 2012, and made his first appearance in 2016. He would embrace his …
Mitski’s new album is her most loving
Share: Gone are the days of Mitski being “The Only Heartbreaker.” Her seventh studio album, “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We” was released earlier this month and she has transformed her work from dancebeat heartaches into an overflowing melancholy of love. For fans of Mitski, this album announcement came as a surprise. Four years earlier, she deleted her social media and appeared to be done with music. However, Mitski was contractually obligated by her record label to release one more album. In October …
