I think last year — more than ever — we saw different styles of animation and a fair amount of praise going to more mainstream films like Pixar’s “Turning Red” and “Lightyear,” and other studio productions like “Minions: Rise of Gru” and “Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio.” However, we need to give praise to some underrated but equally heartfelt films released in 2022. If you have not seen any of these films, please watch them. Like, right now.

After years of humanities studies and sampled a variety of humanities courses, I have safely concluded that the following appear frequently in the discourses of professors across the humanities department preluded by the phrase, “Does anyone know.” If you don’t nod passionately in agreement, you are excluded from the knowledgeable, cultured gatekeeping clique. Don’t let that discourage you from continuing to take humanities courses! I have created for you here a cheatsheet of terms the professors allude to frequently — selected from a variety of mediums like novels, movies, philosophies, and more — because, honestly, who even has the time to read a whole Sparknotes page?

When I grew up, pun intended if you know the musical, I only knew the Matilda from the 1996 film, a smart six-year-old who loved books. While I never read the novel by Roald Dahl, I loved the story. The inspiration behind the story is said to be based on Dahl’s harsh experience with a boarding school in Britain. His sense of youthful justice lives on in Netflix’s “Matilda: the Musical.” The newest adaptation of “Matilda,” more closely based on the West End’s popular stage musical, was created by the same writer, Dennis Kelly, and directed by Matthew Warchus. When the trailer initially came out, I knew I was going to love it. However, I couldn’t foresee how great the music would be.

I am the kind of kid who is late to the party. In a literal sense because I don’t actually go to parties — my point is when “Hamilton” was all the theater buzz in 2015, I was not listening to it. I was a little middle schooler who wasn’t interested in musicals; yet, when I started high school, I became obsessed with the historical hip-hop piece.

“I just don’t like ya no more.” Imagine your lifelong best friend wakes up one day and decides they no longer want to be friends with you. This is how the fantastic Irish period piece “Banshees of Inisherin” begins. Directed by Martin McDonagh, the creative mind behind the critically acclaimed films “In Bruges” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” this tragi-comedy unexpectedly became one of my favorite movies of 2022. “Banshees” takes place on an isolated Irish island called Inisherin during the Irish Civil War. There is a pub, a church, a small collection of houses, a post office, and a single policeman.

Sunny Hostin published her first memoir in Sept. 2020. Although I did not get a chance to read it until this fall, I am so happy I eventually did. There is a lack of representation in the book industry, especially in novels and memoirs.

It’s been a hard couple of months for fans in parasocial relationships. As we’ve seen, fans of the Try Guys and Kanye West continue to be let down time and time again by their favorite creators. I think now is a perfect opportunity to examine parasocial relationships that have led to a staggering amount of young people defending someone like Kanye West, despite his his antisemitic comments on Twitter . This is also an opportunity to talk about pop culture and how the celebrity system rewards parasocial relationships and fans interacting with celebrities’ opinions and content uncritically.

There are a lot of things to love about Halloween — the costumes, the parties, and the discounted candy available the day after. But one aspect of Halloween has never really resonated with me: horror movies. I’m not a big fan of guts and gore, and I am admittedly a bit of a coward. I’ve come to realize, however, that you don’t have to be brave to enjoy iconic Halloween movies. I’ve compiled this list to give my fellow scaredy cats some ideas for their next Halloween movie night.

Wearing a baggy Harvard T-shirt and plaid cargo pants, Remi Wolf looks like the coolest girl in Tatte thrown into a psychedelic coloring book. She stands on stage surrounded by huge colorful flowers and trees, an energetic band, an abundance of whimsical visuals and lights, and an eager crowd of teens and 20-somethings hanging on to her every move.

Growing up, my Mama was always the one who styled my hair. She would do the difficult labor of washing, conditioning, and combing my strong curls. As a young brown girl, I don’t believe I ever realized how much work it took to style natural hair, but I would always cry because I was so tender-headed. I loved the way my Mama did my hair, but I hated being in the “hair chair.” The hair chair, a traditional wooden chair with a pillow in the seat, was pulled into the living room whenever Mama was going to do my hair. I’d sit there for what felt like hours. Then when I was done, I would rush to the mirror to examine my beautiful braids. Recently, I went down memory lane — I looked at old polaroid pictures and flipped through them fondly. I was amazed as I looked at myself, realizing that when I was younger, my hair was always natural. I realized that, back then, I was free. I was so happy and I never really seemed to think about beauty or question if my hair was an obstacle to that definition.
