Share: We are in the golden age of life, where technology is more advanced than ever. Games are being released so frequently that it’s almost impossible to keep track of them. Famous ones like “Minecraft,” “Grand Theft Auto,” and “Call of Duty” have sustained their popularity over the last decade. No video game genre delivers more adrenaline than zombie games. Bonus points if you’re playing at night with headphones. Is it crazy if I go on the record and say that the best zombie video …
Run, don’t walk to the best secondhand stores in Pasadena
Share: Over the past few years, the interest in shopping at vintage and antique stores has increased steadily. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as vintage shopping can help people individualize their wardrobe and home decor while often costing less than brand-new pieces. And it’s sustainable! Oftentimes people turn to websites or apps such as Depop or Facebook Marketplace for their secondhand shopping because of the convenience factor. However, many people prefer to go into an actual store so they can see the …

How to slayyyy transferring this Fall
Share: As June approaches, many PCC students are preparing to transfer to a four-year university in the fall. Whether students are living locally or moving across the country, this is a new and potentially anxious time for many. Amidst the excitement for change, transfer anxiety is a common companion. One of the best ways to help combat these worries is having a good community. From friends, family, or even teachers and counselors, there is a vast amount of resources and people available to help and …
Through rain or shine, ‘It’s Always Sunny’ never pulls its punches
Share: As “Always Sunny” reaches its 19th anniversary this coming August, one has to wonder how the show whose first episode sees Charlie Day accidentally, but openly using racial slurs has survived for so long. For those not in the cult of Sunny, it’s definitely a head scratcher, but for fans of the series, it’s not much of a thought at all, as the show time and time again proves it knows its audience and knows how to both offend and keep them entertained. I …
WILLOW sets a calm and comfortable tone for new fans on ‘empathogen’
Share: In the midst of the diverse dosage of music that has been released in the last few weeks, it’s easy for some worthwhile projects to get lost in the shuffle. Scouring the internet to make sure I didn’t miss a thing, I found myself stumbling across some hidden gems that wouldn’t normally be in my go-to playlists. Being mostly unfamiliar with WILLOW’s discography, the single that came my way first was “run!” and it latched onto me impersonating a warm welcome into enjoying a …
Still starstruck: I saw Shohei slam a historic home run
Share: Imagine this scenario: your arch-nemesis is in town, your ace is on the mound, and the newest Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani is in the batter’s box on the verge of launching his first home run as a boy in blue. It would seem like something that would be included in a baseball film, except it was experienced in reality. Dodger Stadium has had one of the best home-field advantages in Major League Baseball, holding nearly 56,000 rowdy fans for every home game. The crowd …
‘Everybody’s in LA’ is not for everybody, but is for Los Angeles
Share: John Mulaney is not from Los Angeles. But in his short time as a resident, he has created the oddest comedy talk show that a transplant could make to better understand the city titled, “Everybody’s in LA.” This six-episode installment talk show is streaming live on Netflix for one week only during the “Netflix is a Joke Festival” and is set to wrap forever on Friday. As Mulaney says in the opening monologue, “this show will never hit its groove”– but it will certainly …
Met Gal-Blah 2024: Rich people dress like shit
Share: The Met Gala was this Monday, and celebrities reminded us yet again that even though they have all the money and power in the world, they still don’t know how to follow a theme. The theme for this year’s Met Gala was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code being “The Garden of Time” inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story. Evidently, many celebrities took the garden part a bit too literally, simply throwing in a floral pattern and calling it a day. …
‘I Saw the TV Glow’ dims profound allegory behind spellbinding screen
Share: When it comes to A24 movies, there’s an unconvincing justification conveniently awaiting any negative thoughts over the inherent weirdness of most of their releases: you just don’t get it. With “I Saw the TV Glow,” a visually spectacular whirlwind of creativity from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun, the message is there but collapses under a convoluted narrative best described as an overstretched short film. The movie, spanning the late 90s to mid-2000s, takes place through the unreliable perspective of Owen (Justice Smith), who looks back on …
