There were no duds at Frog Baby Film Festival 2018. From top to bottom, the lineup of short films was full of clever and enjoyable submissions in a wide range of genres and styles. The cowboy westerns, action and horror films, and dystopian comedies made it impossible to know what to expect next, and that’s not even to mention the categories for documentaries and music videos. The only thing these films had in common was that they all showcased the undeniable talent of Ball State’s own home-brewed filmmaking community.

To get it out of the way at the top, Rampage is barely anything like its arcade cabinet source material. Originally released in 1986 by Bally Midway (later Midway Games) the game had a simple concept: normal people get mutated into giant monsters (specifically, a massive ape, werewolf, and some Godzilla-adjacent kaiju) then up to three players control these monsters simultaneously and promptly engage in decimating various cityscapes, fighting off the military, plucking people from buildings and eating them for health, and leveling more buildings than a demolition crew on cocaine.

I have to start out saying that I have liked 30 Seconds to Mars for a while, but I’ve just known their main hits for the most part. Many people may remember their biggest hit, “The Kill” (also known as “Bury Me”, released in 2005), from either the radio or playing it on Guitar Hero. Other popular hits from the band are “This is War” (2009) and “King and Queens” (2009). Other people may recognize the band’s front man, Jared Leto, from Fight Club released in 1999 or 2016’s Joker in Suicide Squad. I had high expectations for the album, “America” by 30 Seconds to Mars, but I cannot say that those were met and I knew that 30 Seconds into each song.

There may be no major indie rock act today who is quite as well suited to a cozy small venue as Lucy Dacus. At her Indianapolis debut in Fountain Square, the singer-songwriter proved that she is worth every ounce of hype her new record has brought. The two wonderfully fun, high-energy opening sets from Adult Mom and And the Kids would have made for a perfectly good concert on their own, and the crowd seemed to be satisfied even before getting any sight of the headliner. But as it neared 11:00p.m., Lucy Dacus and her band emerged from backstage in a single-file line with uniformly greyscale apparel and were met with warm applause.

We're back witches, with another magical episode of the Coven Podcast. This week, we're looking at the toxic fandoms. Can a show be ruined by its fandom? The shows themselves are fairly unproblematic on their own... but then in comes the fandom... My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is perhaps forever tainted by the bronies who love it, but in recent years other fandoms have been cited as having ruined the show by making it cringe-y, ruining online searches for it with shipping and NSFW fanart, and other crimes. These fandoms include Undertale, Steven Universe, and perhaps most notably Rick and Morty with the whole sauce/intellectual nihilism thing. Can the fandom really ruin enjoyment of the show/game itself? Is this blown out of proportion?

Men, let's be honest: compared to women, our clothing options are fairly limited.
Women are free to wear any apparel they desire. Society has deemed it acceptable for them to break gender norms and wear sweats and suits.
But when it comes to guys trying to do the same? It’s a struggle, no doubt.
Hopefully it will change sometime soon. And for that, we’ll have children's' shows to thank—Japanese children's shows that is.
When I was in high school, I remember learning of Super Sentai. Think of it as the source footage of Power Rangers. One of the characters in the 42 seasons caught my eye: Rio. Even though he was an anti-hero, I remember him having a tight, revealing outfit, which is usually seen as a feminine style here in the West.
After getting sucked into live-action Japanese shows, another character caught my attention. In the series Kamen Rider OOO, Ankh, who had multiple forms, had a humanoid look that always included black makeup circling his eyes.
Rio was seen as a highly respected leader and had a female love interest even while having feminine attire. Ankh was taken seriously and was able to achieve what he desired while not looking masculine. Because of how they were portrayed, both of them stood out in my mind long after watching the shows.
These characters, sadly, were not actual people with our societal norms. So I started thinking, 'Women are allowed to wear masculine apparel, so why is it not appropriate for men to wear feminine clothing?'
While a friend was checking on her car in the fall of 2016, I remember looking through her bags and noticing a pair of denim booty shorts sitting in a bag. She said I could wear them if I actually wanted to, so I put them over the black athletic tights I was wearing at the moment.
Then I had idea. After she dropped me off at a residence hall, I rushed to my room, dug around in the drawer, and BAM! I found a zebra-pattern shirt that made the outfit complete.
I have many other outfits that makes people look twice including a cardigan-leggings combo and an all-maroon sweater-jeggings look.
Now people some may think I’m funny or crazy for dressing in women’s clothes. But to me, it’s perfectly fine. In fact, I think men wearing feminine clothing in public should be respected.
When it comes to clothing, ladies have a lot more options. You don’t have to look far or hard to see that.
Women are free to wear masculine clothing like suits, flannels, and sweats. They also don't feel pressured to show skin if they don’t want to.
What’s off-putting, however, is that men are not only still restricted to masculine clothing, but we’re also limited to certain types of clothing.
I can wear black pants, just as long as they aren’t too tight on me. I can wear pink and purple, just as long as the attire isn’t too bright. I can wear something that shows off my muscles as long as lots of my skin is on display.
According to Dr. Rachel Kraus, professor of sociology, men typically wear loosely fitted clothes that aren’t as bright and doesn’t show much skin.
Look in the men’s apparel section in any store. You will see clothes which have a loose fit, dark-toned colors, and solid patterns.
Now take a trip to the women’s section and it’s the exact opposite. The clothes usually have a tighter fit, come in a variety of patterns, and display the brighter side of the rainbow.
So now we’re back to my original thought: women are allowed to wear masculine apparel, so why is it not appropriate for men to wear feminine clothing? The answer is actually simpler than we think. We value masculinity more than femininity.
