Porches miss the mark miserably on ‘The House’

'The House' by Porches falls short in so many ways. From the invasion into the synth-pop world to the horribly unfitting vocals, virtually everything on this album is a disappointment. With luck though, Aaron Maine and co. will learn from this colossal waste of time and build something with greater depth and refinement in the future.

Mike Shinoda’s first solo EP is an emotional and personal roller coaster

Post Traumatic is not a bad EP for what it is. It isn’t supposed to be some debut record, nor is it supposed to be the start of a new brand. Its only purpose is to try and give Shinoda, as well as the fans, some form of closure. While instrumentally it can be lacking in the beginning, lyrically it’s outstanding and doesn’t hold back from being honest and personal.

‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ Episode 2: “Manhunt”

“Manhunt” provides information that helps us to better understand the characters of 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace'. There are secrets and lies between the family members and the press, and the setting for the episode shows a good representation of the late '90s. Andrew’s motives remain unclear because of his constant lying but this keeps the viewers wanting more. This episode is as entertaining as the first and fairly represents the Versace family and their struggles.

‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ Season 1, Episode 1: “It’s a Whole New Ball Game Now”

Though the first episode of ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ will please those who desperately miss the sound of Obama’s voice, the episode doesn’t have much substance apart from the people involved. Letterman and Obama have a likable dynamic that makes it fun to watch at surface level, but the interview lacks a level of importance that could have really made Obama’s reappearance into something noteworthy.

‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ Episode 1: “The Man Who Would Be Vogue”

The first episode of 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' stays true to the facts and original story. The characters were cast well and the dialogue was just as good. The story of the show sticks out and prevents it from getting lost in the crowd of other TV shows. The episode was well-written to provide justice for the victims affected by the tragedy, but also provides knowledge for those who are unfamiliar with the assassination of Gianni Versace. The show provides a personality that you couldn't just get from reading a book about Versace and explains more in-depth how his company continued to thrive after his death. It also provides a closer look at how this tragedy affected the victims personally.

State of the YouTube: the consequences of controversy

Logan didn’t take much of a hit from posting this video, and in the long run, this may have even benefitted his career and brought more people to his content. Meanwhile, other creators who have covered this story are still being hit with demonetization. Which brings us to yesterday, when Logan Paul returned to YouTube.

Frankie Cosmos climbs further up the indie steps with “Jesse”

On their previous two albums, Frankie Cosmos painted amateur musical portraits of youthful urban life, but there was always the tiniest bit of predictability. “Jesse” could be the entryway to a new, more in-depth world of musicality for the group. The song’s structure and Kline’s vocals have helped the outfit paint with more elaborate colors and textures than we’ve heard from them before.

Star Wars is apparently SJW propaganda for being too inclusive

It’s confusing that these audiences will accept Ewoks and Mon Calamari from distant planets, but it is somehow a leftist stretch for the film to feature people with Asian-coded features or characters who are black like Finn. We’re running around with lightsabers and droids, but this diverse casting for our favorite science fiction fantasy is just too unrealistic.

Maybe we should calm down about Oprah 2020?

The public themselves have deemed certain people to be good Presidential candidates, but for the first time a candidate makes themselves a strong contender for the title. Then again, we’d have a talk-show host taking on a reality TV show host for the position of leader of the free world.
