Web Graphic. With 2020 bringing another polarizing presidential election, the term “voter suppression” is one that has re-emerged and been discussed a great deal. In the new Amazon documentary “All In: The Fight for Democracy,”, this issue is addressed at length and in detail. A particular focus is placed on how it affected the 2018 governor’s race in the state of Georgia between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp. Having been produced in part by Abrams, the film unsurprisingly h

Without a doubt, the year 2020 seems like simultaneously the longest and quickest decade I have ever lived through. I have vague recollections of starting the year watching the news about the wildfires in the Australian outback, and now in September find myself experiencing similar blazes practically in my own backyard. We have experienced the impeachment of a president, mass protests and riots, and the outbreak of the worst pandemic in at least a century. Social media makes

We have all heard a legend, at least once in our life. Web Graphic Whether it be about the Boogeyman or the famous Dracula, the Wolfman or the creatures lurking at the bottom of the lake, a tale is passed down from generation to generation and sometimes used as a warning, a way to keep small children in check, a way to explain certain actions – or, simply just a fun way to scare those willing to listen. It’s best to start with one of the greats: the legendary Wolfman. Accordi

Web Graphic With all the extra, quarantine-related time we have, it is a great opportunity to start new hobbies or find new games or activities that you can enjoy – including “Magic: The Gathering,” a traditional trading card game that has been around for years. The game publishers have over 2,000 thousand different cards at this point, growing with their most recent set, “Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.” “Magic” was the first major trading card game that was a massive success and

Web Graphic Over the course of the last decade, movie theaters have slowly had to adapt and accept the fact that the growing adoption of video streaming services are putting the traditional theater business out of commission. But with COVID-19 forcing hundreds of millions of individuals to wait out the pandemic in self-quarantine, theaters around the world continue to suffer even more dramatically. With no clear end to social distancing orders in sight, what will happen to th

Web Graphic As though magically re-materialized from thin air at just the right moment, the Emmy Award-winning animated series, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” returned to streaming giant Netflix’s catalog earlier this month, and little did we know just how much we would soon come to appreciate it once again. Many would consider it a defining work of art for the current generation. Upon viewing this relatively short narrative epic, there is little question why: The Eastern cultu

Web Graphic Though primarily known as the world’s “most popular and authoritative source for movies, TV and celebrity content,” the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) has also quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the web’s largest and most respected aggregators of film and television reviews. With the help of these aggregated ratings, IMDb has put together a list of the 250 highest-rated movies of all time. But is its No. 1 movie really worthy of its rank? Release

Web Graphic The popular and pleasing Nintendo game character “Kirby” celebrated his 28th birthday in April, and it would be awful if we didn’t give credit where credit is due. In April 1992, Nintendo started up the Kirby game series, with developers Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata being the main driving force. Sakurai and Iwata were great partners for many years and made plenty of amazing Kirby games together, but in the year 2015 that all changed: That July, the beloved ga

Web Graphic When the need to stay put begins to feel more and more excruciating as the days go on, the need to distract oneself increases evermore, as well. While streaming services have, of course, existed in great popularity for quite some time before our world’s current calamity, it seems their ability to scratch that particular itch has become an invaluable one to millions everywhere. Movie theaters have always been generally considered to be king when it comes to the pot

The Mt. Hood Jazz Festival in 2019. Bethany Fallgren|The Advocate The weekend of April 24-26 was to have been a high note for the Mt. Hood campus. Since 2004, MHCC has longed for the return of its annual, full-menu Jazz Festival. With naming rights and sponsorships secured once again, this year, big plans were made for a campuswide event that brought together jazz bands from 75 high schools and middle schools across Oregon and beyond – as well as professional performing artis

Web Graphic Netflix’s latest true crime documentary series has arrived with fanfare, and it’s just as outrageous as its title would imply. “Tiger King” follows private zoo owner and Oklahoma native Joe Exotic – aka “Tiger King” – his decades-long feud with multimillionaire-animal conservationist Carole Baskin, and the insane underworld of big-cat owners and breeders. While the show puts an emphasis on Joe and his egomaniacal, gay, redneck persona, the audience is introduced t

Web Graphic To watch Netflix’s newest documentary binge hit, “Tiger King,”is as though peering into the abyss of a swampy, humid chaos. It’s a world of topsy-turvy able to be faithfully described only by the likes of Lewis Caroll. To present the industry of live exotic-animal buying and showing as inherently devious and immoral is an approach that, while respectable – let’s face it – has been done a million times before. This is evidently not the aim of Tiger King. Though ver

Web Photo Since this quarantine began, online streaming services have seen a huge leap in subscription sales, the biggest profiting service currently being Netflix – a very popular streaming service that most people use, and has been around for a long time. If you watched a lot of Netflix before, you may have already watched a lot of the shows that the site had to offer. So what’s new for you to watch now, while you’re stuck inside?
