The (relatively) recent inundation of pop culture by superhero movies has allowed an entire generation’s worth of children’s minds to run wild. What would we do if we were superheroes? We’ve seen grit and realism and all those “more adult” buzzwords used to describe DC Comics films centered …
This week’s episode of Kent-repreneur focuses on the service that helps Kent State faculty members develop, research and market their innovative ideas.
Another addition into a disturbingly long line of disappointing live-action “reimaginings” of Disney’s more magical years, “Dumbo” never gets off the ground long enough to leave a meaningful imprint. A stellar cast and one of cinema’s most eccentric directors are wasted by baffling character…
Ever since junior fashion design major Jillian Begre was 10 years old, she was hooked on serial killers. She started by watching movies like “Silence of the Lambs” and “Seven,” and evolved into researching killers with peculiar practices, like Ed Gein who confessed to killing two women in th…
While it’s not quite as effective as his feature film debut “Get Out,” Jordan Peele shows us again that he’s an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with in genre filmmaking for years to come. “Us” is many things; it’s surprisingly funny, oozing with tension and always thinking two steps ahead…

“Paddleton” is a damn incredible movie.

Tanner is still not here, so Scott and Cameron go over NFL free agency and discuss the best receivers in the NFL, which makes Scott surprisingly angry.
“Greta,” a fun, but ultimately watered-down play on a classic, campy cat-and-mouse movie, isn’t anything we haven’t seen before, but strong performances by Chloë Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert will a blatantly mediocre screenplay to the finish line.
The name of this album is “Drip or Drown 2." I think that name perfectly spells out that this album is to be enjoyed, not deeply analyzed. So put down the CBD latte because I think you’ll need something a bit stronger to properly digest "Drip or Drown 2," the latest studio release from the e…
Thanks for listening to this week’s episode of Kent Stop Talking. This week, the crew talk about the new single from the Jonas Brothers, the value of nostalgia, bands that do (and do not) still work after decades of performing, our favorite cartoons growing up (and Nick freaks out about Law …

The “How to Train Your Dragon” series — criminally underappreciated since its opening installment released back in 2010 — is interestingly named. Sure, that was the plot of the first film: A weak young man named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) discovers a fierce dragon he nicknames Toothless and goes …
Join Cameron and Nate this week as they finally wipe their hands clean on a disappointing Oscars season, wonder why Peter Farrelly and his friends thought "Movie 43" was a good idea, then finish with 1975's Best Picture-winner, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
Professional wrestling, itself one of the most elaborate performances in live television, hasn’t really gotten its due in terms of scripted movies. Other than “Ready to Rumble” or “Nacho Libre” if you want to stretch, the trials and tribulations of pro wrestlers has been largely ignored by H…

In a special Valentine's Day — yeah, we're a few days late — edition, Cameron and Nate finish their Oscars picks, talk about how unsexy "Fifty Shades of Grey" is, then wrap up with 1942's timeless "Casablanca." Plus, stay till the very end for a blooper where Nate forgets the name of the mov…

The 2019 Academy Awards is saturated with LGBTQ plotlines, characters and actors in a history-making batch of nominations, as more than half of the Best Picture nominees include an LGBTQ presence.
Letter from the reporter: Three Kent State females opened up to me about their long-distance relationships. With each of them, I felt how much they cared and how deeply their love reached the partners living miles away. Talking to them made me feel 1) hopeful and 2) uncertain. Love is a hope…

Real love stories don’t usually play out like they do in the movies. Watch enough cheesy Hallmark movies or films adapted from Nicholas Sparks novels, and it’s hard not to begin imagining a world where relationships go one way: You meet, you fall in love, you argue once or twice, you make up…
Join Tanner, Scott and Cameron as they discuss a puzzlingly dry Super Bowl Sunday, the NBA's recent flurry of trades and Kent State basketball.

Dan Gilroy’s “Velvet Buzzsaw” is an enjoyable, campy satirical thriller that works a lot better when you don’t consider how you’re watching it.
Join Cameron and Nate this week as they wonder whether Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing and dive into scientology’s worst creation, 2000’s “Battlefield Earth."
If you’ve been following the news at all recently, you’ve noticed Ted Bundy has suddenly become a trending topic.
In the span of just three days, Netflix released "Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes," a four-part documentary series, and Sundance premiered a trailer for "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile," a biographical movie starring Zac Efron. Whether we wanted or not, Ted Bundy…
Walking up the frozen Esplanade, the wind rushed into my face, effectively rendering my scarf, hat and hoodie useless. I saw only two or three people rushing from building to building. The PARTA bus stop by the Student Center was empty, and the Starbucks was closed.
The Oscars have a diversity problem. Or, rather, they have a representation problem, and we need to look no further than the Best Director’s race for proof.

In a little less than a month, we’ll take another optimistic leap back into awards season. The Academy Awards for the best movies of 2018 are drawing near, and this season has its own share of easily predicted nominations and surprising snubs.
There’s a red herring scene about 90 minutes into Joe Cornish’s “The Kid Who Would Be King” that, at the time, seems to signal the end of a meandering, puzzlingly lifeless “King Arthur” adaptation. The plot seems to have run its course and all the loose ends are tied together nicely, but the…
