After watching The Social Dilemma on Netflix, I was involuntarily dragged into the light about how dangerous social media can be. The documentary, I know I almost lost you at that, but keep reading. It described how social media affects your daily life.

Are you up for some mystery? Romance? Handle-bar moustaches? Henry Cavill? Then this might be the movie for you. You might know Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven from Stranger Things, but she trades her Eggos for her detective hat as the crime solving Enola Holmes in this flick. Enola Holmes takes us on an adventure to solve the mystery of her mother’s whereabouts using the clues her mother has left for her. She meets some interesting characters throughout her adventure that change her in ways she doesn't expect. Unfortunately, in our opinion, Enola taking up two different cases made the story a bit of a mess, and it was difficult to properly follow the case with Enola. If you were a fan of BBC Sherlock, this may be a disappointing watch.

Puppet Combo, the creator of Babysitter's Bloodbath and The Nun's Massacre, presents you with Murder House, another classic 80s slasher that has you gripped by fear and sitting on the edge of your seat.

We should probably preface this article by telling you that despite the look of the show, The Haunting of Bly Manor honestly wasn’t too scary. So if you are a fan of horror and drama but don’t want the pants scared off of you, then this show is for you. In our opinion, the scariest part of the show was probably one very creepy smile from Henry Wingrave (the uncle of the children that reside in Bly Manor), and you would probably agree with us if you had seen it. But despite the lack of scariness, this show reeled us in with its storyline and plot twists!

ERA is the first album by Raise a Suilen, a Japanese electronic-rock band that is a part of the BanG Dream! multimedia project. They are often called “RAS” by fans and the members. Released on August 19th, 2020, this album contains 12 songs, and the full track list runs for about 53 minutes.

Personally, I have grown up with Taylor Swift as my favorite artist, and I am in favor of this branching out. The folklore album contains elements both veteran Swifties and new listeners have come to enjoy.

It's that time of year again, and with the impending release of a brand-new Call of Duty title, it falls on me to load up on guns, throw on my legwarmers, and dive into the political upheaval of the 1980s.

During the first few months after school closed in March 2020, I took it upon myself to play every single Jackbox game I could get my (virtual) hands on. With the help of five friends, I proceeded to laugh, argue, and ruin friendships over the hilariously entertaining chaos of Jackbox Party Packs 3-6 and Drawful, which was released for free over quarantine, experiencing a total of 21 unique party games.

Mastodon’s latest work, the richly unconventional Medium Rarities, was released on September 11th. This diverse compilation album includes covers, instrumentals, and live versions, showcasing the sludge metal band’s versatility. The sixteen tracks are arranged in such a way that each song is distinctly different from those following and preceding them, causing the album to be endlessly interesting. Mastodon formed in Atlanta in 2000 and consists of guitarists Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher, bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, and drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor.

Are you looking for a way to pass the time after online class? Do you like fun with a hint of mystery? Do you fancy yourself as a detective? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, look no further than Among Us!
