Welcome to Derry



Welcome to Derry is the new prequel series that dives into the creepy, chaotic world of Stephen King’s It. It explores the town of Derry before Pennywise started terrorizing kids, giving fans a deeper look at the town’s dark history and twisted secrets. What I though was cool about the show is how it mixes horror with mystery and drama, making Derry feel like its own character. You get to see how fear and tragedy shaped the town, and the way the series builds tension is really interesting, it’s creepy without being over-the-top. Pop culture wise, it’s sparking tons of fan theories and TikTok breakdowns, which shows how invested people are in this universe. For anyone who loves horror or just wants a story that’s part thriller, part small-town drama, Welcome to Derry is a must watch. I already loved It and this was the perfect addition I can't wait for the next season!

    How unsettling is this series on a scale? I've outgrown the movies, but I still have yet to watch them. I've seen clips about it, and I wanted to ask if you knew about the theory that compares like penny wise to marry Poppins and like a turtle and other characters?

    I've heard a lot about this show but haven't taken the time to check it out yet! Will definitely look at it soon. It sounds super interesting and I've been hearing a lot of good things about it.

    I loveddd this show! Yes it was freaky and scary but I feel like alot of the underlying meanings and themes were silently spun in there. Especially considering the military scenes and characters and their arcs.

    I absolutely loved this show. I was so annoyed when I finished the first season because I feel like they definitely could've made the season longer. It most definitely is a thriller and very attention-catching; however, I noticed a few hidden themes, especially in the young girl Lily Bainbridge. She obviously had serious mental health issues that weren't being taken seriously!!

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
