Student takes: When is it too early to listen to Christmas music?
By Jewell Strock
Songs like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole are staples when it comes to the Christmas season. But when should one start listening to Christmas music? Some start as soon as it turns into November 1, and others start strictly after Thanksgiving.
At Cedarville University the opinions vary as to when the “right time” is to begin the Christmas song season.

Brads’ Breakdown: Ode to the four team playoff
By Alan Brads
Usually, I am a proud member of the four team playoff club. I dread next year's change to the 12 team playoff which irreparably degrades the meaningfulness of regular season games and conference championship games. We lose high-stakes games like last week’s Ohio State-Michigan, or this week’s Pac-12 championship. After all, if Oregon loses to Washington twice, do they really deserve a third shot?
But this week, as a Buckeyes fan, I long for the 12 team College Football ...
‘Loki’ comes to a glorious end
By Janie Walenda
Perhaps I treated season two of “Loki” too harshly. While I won’t walk back my opinions on the first three episodes of season two having no clear direction, the second half bends time to consistently elevate the stakes far beyond anywhere I thought the show would go. While this could be a recipe for a deflated and disappointing finale, as so many MCU shows have demonstrated, “Loki” ends with a bittersweet culmination of Loki’s decade-long character ...

‘The Marvels’ is a comedic and fun addition to the Marvel universe
By Anna Harmon
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new film “The Marvels.” It looked like it could be interesting, but the previews did not really spark my interest. Marvel hasn’t put out many good movies or TV shows lately, so I wasn’t expecting much from this film. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it and thought it was hilarious and fun to watch.
In the film, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) all have powers ...
