TCNJ’s All College Theatre brings a modern twist to the classic story of ‘Antigone’

By Jadyn Buccilli | Oct. 1

Antigone, despite Creon’s laws, ventures out to where her brother’s body is located in broad daylight, and attempts to give him a proper burial. Since Polynieces was seen as a traitor for attacking his own city, Creon decided that his body must instead waste away above ground for betrayal. Even when the guards catch Antigone in the midst of her burying and bring her back to Creon, she is determined to either finish the burial or die trying.

‘Primetime’: Beyond Chris Hansen’s ‘To Catch a Predator’

By Molly Tursi and Mahnoosh Arsalan | Oct. 1

Pattinson excelled at his portrayal of Hansen, while adding his own personal interpretation to his character. Wever masterfully executed her role as Andie Bender, Hansen’s avaricious producer, who is hungry for success over goodwill. Gisondo plays Dan, an aspiring actor who lands the decoy role in Hansen’s show. His performance was both humorous and impressive, as he added contrast to Hansen and Bender, providing a sense of humanity within the ruthless show business.

‘Sabukaru’ Creator Adrian Bianco dies at 40 years old

By Camille Sanez | Sep. 29

Subukaru was originally an extension of Bianco’s personal blog which focused on youth pop culture and Japanese subcultures. As his blog-turned-magazine evolved, similar themes were kept, but also started leaning into underground scenes.

‘The Lizzie Borden Story’: Who makes a monster?

By Molly Tursi | Sep. 28

The glorification of murder is a flagrant criticism of the series, with real-life murders sensationalized to leverage a surface-level feminist and lesbian narrative. While it is important to recognize Borden and Wuornos as victims of their own suffering, the show makes no analytical recognition of the levity of their murders.

On Sept. 14, 2026, Messina Touring Group, Sheeran’s promotion team, released a public statement to Rolling Stone that Macklemore had been removed from the tour. “We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup,” Messina said.

‘Pylon’: Beabadoobee’s spark

By Mahnoosh Arsalan | Sep. 28

The album begins with the titular song, an initially melancholy ballad that explodes into a jumble of guitars at the end. Beabadoobee details a portrait of love and compares her connection with her lover to a pylon in an open field, ultimately and indefinitely connected. “Pylon” is a beautiful song that has easily found its way into fans’ hearts.

‘Resident Evil’: Give a chance to return to Raccoon City

By Shaun Bulayo | Sep. 27

Cregger’s writing for the film is reminiscent of the early entries in the video game series featuring serious plots sprinkled with light-hearted jokes. Remarkably, the film also manages to adapt gameplay mechanics in its entirety from the annoying resource management to its numerous locked puzzles.

Decades later, “Annie” was put on the big screen once again, this time being reimagined to fit modern times. The film, being released in 2014, reimagines Warbucks entirely, renaming him to Will Stacks. The cast in this version is also diverse, in order to appeal to the current younger generation.

Judge Judy announces the end of her 30-year reign

By Seb Leroy | Sep. 23

“Judge Judy” ran for 25 seasons on CBS before ending in July 2021. A few months later, Sheindlin was back on the bench with “Judy Justice,” which premiered Nov. 1, 2021, on IMDb TV, a streaming service that has since been absorbed into Prime Video. Both shows starred Sheindlin, so the format stayed familiar, but the move to streaming came with a new supporting cast that includes her granddaughter, Sarah Rose Levy, as law clerk.

It is clear through this video, as well as all 24 tracks, that Jepsen is not shying away from sharing her voice, even if she chose to avoid being mainstream. At age 40, when many pop singers are forced to put down their microphones, Jepsen is at a new height in her career, with future projects and aspirations in the works.

Bikini Kill brings ‘Riot Grrrl’ revolution to Philadelphia

By Danica Ward | Sep. 23

Many of the band’s songs deal with real experiences and issues, often misogyny and instances of sexual assault. The band, Hanna specifically, used her time on the microphone to tell anecdotes, promote community and prove how healing and powerful music can be. Although she decided to skip “Outta Me,” abandoned after the first line as Hanna started to tear up, the rest of the set was just as emotionally powerful as it was loud and raw.

On the big projectors, the “Music, Fashion, Film” songs all followed a gritty black and white aesthetic, and any song from other areas were all vibrant in color. The camera operators weren’t simply just observing, but in sync with the choreography and blocking of each performance.
