Summer Film Recap: Laci Strouse’s summer of inspiring, uplifting and encouraging entertainment
By Laci Strouse
This summer I spent a lot of my time watching movies and TV shows. After everything I saw, “The Little Mermaid,” “Sound of Freedom,” “The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2” and “Sun Moon” remain my favorites. These movies and series are all special in their own way and made my summer a little brighter.
“The Little Mermaid” was a great family film.
Summer break began with the release of the live-action Little Mermaid in theaters. It did not disappoint ...
Brads’ Breakdown: the Calm Before the Storm
By Alan Brads
Have you ever had a theory that you don’t say out loud because it seems glaringly obvious but no one else seems to have thought of it? It makes you wonder if you’re a genius, going insane, or both. Well here’s mine:
I think it’s possible that the number one reason the NFL is overwhelmingly more popular than college football is not marketing, or parity, or format or even quality of play, it’s that Sunday comes after Saturday.
By the end of Saturday I love ...

Summer Film Recap: Ben Konuch’s summer of espionage, action and missed opportunities
By Ben Konuch
Summer blockbuster season is always too overwhelming to try to fit every major release into your schedule. Whether it be all the new streaming series, or the brand new franchises being started in cinemas or even iconic names returning on the big screen like “Indiana Jones,” this summer blockbuster season has been no exception. But when you can’t watch every new release, you have to pick the ones that look most intriguing. For me, those movies were “Mission Impossible: ...
Summer Film Recap: Esther Fultz’s summer of armageddon and glitter
By Esther Fultz
I’ve never been a big film person. Sure, I’ll watch the occasional film with my family, and I’ve seen “The Sound of Music” and “The Lord of the Rings” more times than I can count. But seeing films in the theater isn’t a common occurrence for me, and before this summer, I never would’ve seen myself watching two films back to back. “Barbenheimer” changed that.
“Oppenheimer” presents a complex portrait of humanity.
Contrary to popular recommend...

CU at the Patio launches as a new way for students to take a study break
By Maggie Fipps
One of the seminal moments for freshmen Cedarville students is the class picture. Crowded together, usually separated from your friends and standing next to that random kid from your Sting group, you squint into the sunlight as Dr. White directs you to smile at the camera.
As enrollment swelled, Cedarville extended not only the backdrop of the iconic class picture but also the backdrop for building community as they extended the lakeside patio onto Cedar Lake, ...

Brads’ Breakdown: Pac-12 Supremacy and Southeast Showdowns
By Alan Brads
I hate spiders.
People say they support healthy ecosystems and help eliminate pests, I say who cares? They’re gross, I hate them and I’m sticking to that. But when I recently saw a spider web in my apartment bathroom I chuckled because it, like most things, reminded me of football.
The beauty of the college football playoff system is that the 14-week schedule is now a tangled web. A week 1 game on a Sunday night tugs at the strands connecting 20 other teams’ ...
