Review: ‘Wish’ makes a sincere effort at tribute to Disney’s magical past

Ayla Ruby ,  ,  ,  5 min read

A nostalgic waltz through a fairytale kingdom, Disney’s Wish charms with pixie dust, enduring songs, and charismatic leads in Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine. Every frame of Wish’s watercolor-soft animation evokes a sense of comforting familiarity. In this cinematic ode to Disney’s legacy, Wish refers to Disney classics like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. While Wish may not be without its imperfections, it is perfectly

Review: ‘Saltburn’ is a Devilishly Delightful Film

Brian Kitson ,  ,  7 min read

Sometimes going into a movie or screener knowing as little as possible is the right way to go. No preconceived notions, therefore no expectations. This feat might seem nearly impossible with how prevalent spoilers and promotional material are nowadays. However, if possible, doing so allows for a completely different experience and interaction with the material on screen. That was how I

‘Rick and Morty’ Mid-Season 7 Check In

Anthony Flagg ,  ,  ,  6 min read

Where do we even go from here? A question I also posed at the beginning of the season. Actually, where do we really go from last week as we had THE biggest moment in Rick and Morty history? Rick’s biggest obstacle has always been himself but this time we truly saw what that meant. In “Unmortricken,” episode 5 of the seventh

Ayla Ruby ,  ,  ,  ,  3 min read

It’s another episode of Sloth Baby Productions… just kidding. The Cosmic Circle podcast is back, and we saw The Marvels just like (hopefully) all of you and had some thoughts about the return of Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). Their first big screen team-up featured Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), an interesting villain

Review: ‘Trolls Band Together’ is Tuneful But Flawed

Ayla Ruby ,  ,  ,  5 min read

Trolls Band Together is out in theaters as of this past weekend. It’s a brightly colored boy-band symphony of animation and heart, but don’t expect a high-note encore to the previous two Trolls films. The film’s lighthearted message of familial love and self-acceptance, set to a catchy soundtrack and featuring incredible animation, is occasionally overshadowed by moments of questionable humor that raise the
