It is a shame that today’s movies can't hold a candle to the cinema of yesteryear. Movies like Hotel Transylvania 2, Pixels, and The Maze Runner invade our screens and only occasionally are interrupted by a great movie. Kids disregard true movie magic in favor of animation and repetitive action sequences. The imperative of making a great film is...
I have grown up playing and watching sports all of my life. If it's a common youth sport, I have probably played it. I have watched thousands of hours of sports on television for...educational purposes...yes, that's what I'll go with. The truth is, it is educational because that is the research I have used to write this scientific article.

Described by Teezo as “Rock and Boom is more focused: it's R&B with the intensity of rock, with the R&B top lines, boom bap penmanship, and that 808 bass with the flavor of Beaumont.” Released on September 8, this breakout star gained traction through features on albums such as Call Me if You Get Lost,Utopia, and Love Sick.

On Fridays, artists ranging in clout and genre drop their music for their audience's listening pleasure. And while Spotify and Apple Music both have "New Music Friday" playlists, The Roundup doesn't want the Jesuit community to have to sift through those playlists for songs that either bop or flop.
