Fans ‘disgusted’ after Urías’ arrest on domestic violence charge
Dodgers jerseys and merch-filled classrooms can be spotted all throughout PCC as many students and staff declare themselves as fans, but will that change after Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias’ arrest on domestic violence? The Dodgers have remained a contributing factor and staple to the Los Angeles culture, especially the Hispanic community for many years. Dodgers star pitcher Julio Urias has been a representation for Mexican Angelenos since he signed with them in 2012, and made his first appearance in 2016. He would embrace his roots …
Mitski’s new album is her most loving
Gone are the days of Mitski being “The Only Heartbreaker.” Her seventh studio album, “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We” was released earlier this month and she has transformed her work from dancebeat heartaches into an overflowing melancholy of love. For fans of Mitski, this album announcement came as a surprise. Four years earlier, she deleted her social media and appeared to be done with music. However, Mitski was contractually obligated by her record label to release one more album. In October 2021, …
Did ‘GUTS’ beat the sophomore slump?
I tried to keep this review as light as a feather and as stiff as a board, but after rocking out to Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore studio album for the fifth time, I knew I couldn’t keep this professional. Following her triple grammy winning album “Sour,” Rodrigo took two years to release any kind of new music. On June 30, 2023, she released “vampire,” the lead single off of her new album, “GUTS.” “vampire” cut straight to the core, singing a song of realization at how …
‘Mortal Kombat 1’ refines fighting but leaves everything else fatally unfinished
The latest installment of Netherrealm Studios’ “Mortal Kombat” franchise is out a mere four years after “Mortal Kombat 11” was released, rebooting the series yet again by literally taking matters back to square one. As is typical with a new “Mortal Kombat” game, fan expectations were high when the development team announced the title only four months before its release, with many unanswered questions over what would be so different from 2011’s “Mortal Kombat” reboot. Now that the game is out, the supposed fresh start …
Does journalism really need a full-time Taylor Swift reporter?
After years of being at the top of pop charts and the center of the public’s collective attention, Taylor Swift has finally garnered enough focus to require her own reporter. Gannett, one of America’s largest newspaper chains, recently put out a listing for a full-time reporter to cover all of Swift’s moves. After a long search, Johnny Oleksinski, a reporter for the New York Post, was chosen for the ever-so-sought-after job. He returned to the New York Post to write about the reality of the …
It’s a blurry choice: Be a part of an era or a renaissance?
The summer of 2023 is coming to an end, and whether you saw it from your phone or actually had the chance to go in person, the live shows and concerts from the past few months have been something to marvel at. Tons of artists from every genre have seemingly been aggressive to release tour dates over the past few months. Assumingly from the gap of time lost caused by COVID, it makes sense why so many artists held their shows so close to their …
From farmers to fleas, the markets of Los Angeles
It’s a busy Thursday night in South Pasadena. There’s music playing, and tons of families having picnics in the park. On the corner, a man is playing his African hand drum for the passersby. For the shoppers at the South Pasadena Farmers Market though, this is just a typical Thursday. The market happens every Thursday on Meridian Avenue from 4-8 P.M. With free admission and over 50 vendors it’s no surprise that this is a crowd favorite for people of all ages and walks of …
‘Starfield’ launches players into stellar journey
Following an announcement in 2018 and a few setbacks, “Starfield,” the latest RPG game by industry powerhouse Bethesda Game Studios finally landed in gamer’s hands. Instead of re-releasing another port of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” for the millionth time, Bethesda has instead opted to make an entirely brand new title. This time around, “Starfield” sends players to the far future and opens the floodgates to an immersive fictional version of our galaxy that is just begging to be explored. True to most Bethesda games, …
‘The Nun II’ does little to justify why you should answer its prayers
The Nun II is the latest lackluster addition to the now ninth movie in the Conjuring franchise, making it part of the largest and most boring horror movie franchise to date. Continuing on where the first film left off, “The Nun II” is set five years after the events of “The Nun” and follows the life of Sister Irene, now living at a new convent, when she’s asked by the Vatican to investigate a string of demonic murders across Europe. The trail of bodies leads …
