"But feminism doesn’t necessarily mean buying products, taking over a public office or filling typically male positions. It’s about standing up for yourself without being questioned or pressured to apologize—something that punk band Amyl and the Sniffers displays in their latest album, Comfort to Me."
Film Review -- The Chronicle
"Although it exudes an intentional cheesiness in its creatively gory murders, the movie still avoids tropes one would expect from its inspirations. No, the best friends don’t die first, and no, the serial killer and traumatized teen won’t embrace each other after seeing life from each other’s eyes."
Theatre Review -- The Chronicle

"But even starting a mortgage won’t prevent once angsty eyes from rolling. And in August, punk band Teenage Bottlerocket revealed the concerns of adult life in their latest album, Sick Sesh!."
Film Review -- The Chronicle
"With this play moving to screens, the film displays the overwhelming nature of digital media more effectively than could be done on stage, such as through a Google-searching montage and Instagram posts. Though the perils of the internet are often denigrated as a trivial teenage obsession with technology, the cast and crew were respectful of the damage they can inflict."
Style Review -- The Chronicle
"The trends of the early 2000s, with their bright pinks, shining sequins and daring prints, contain the power to express and encourage confidence. Though they may not speak for you, when paired with courage and poise, they can highlight who you are. They allow you to make a statement without saying a word."

"A crowd rushed toward the stage, each person trampling on top of each other, leaving eight dead and nearly 300 injured. Now, the concert performers and organizers are facing lawsuits in response to the incident."
Film Review -- The Chronicle
"There is a fine line between being protective and being possessive, and Bacon’s character struggles to walk that line. How does one provide the best for their child without setting the best example? Bacon consistently brings complexity to his characters, displaying how men may be better fathers than they are husbands."
