Netflix - Monsters


 Since I am a crime junkie and love to watch crime shows, I thought I would talk about the Monsters series on Netflix. Each season features a different famous serial killer. I do think the show dramatized what happened in history with these killers, since it is a TV show. The first season is the story of Jeffrey Dahmer, who is one of America's most notorious serial killers. It follows his life and crimes over the years. The show highlights the impact on victims and the community. Season 2 shifts the focus from a serial killer to a very famous, controversial murder case of the Menendez Brothers who were arrested for the murder of their parents. This season depicts their upbringing, family, and abuse. Season 3 is the newest season to come out and this season was about Ed Gein whose real -life crimes in the mid-20th century. He has also inspired many famous villains in movies. If you don't like gore i wouldn't recommend this show but the crime backstories of all the seasons i think they did a great job.

    Yes the way they went about making Jeffrey Dahmer was so good and did such a good job to really see it for how it was to try and understand it and what happened. Evan Peters did such a good job playing his role he had spoke about how much of a toll it took on his mental health.

    I watched this show and I absolutely loved all three seasons. I think they did a great job of showing the true and gruesome nature of the crimes that impacted so many people. Also, I think it was interesting that season 2 of this show sparked an interest in the Menendez brothers in society, and they were able to get re-considered for parole.

    I am unfamiliar with this show, but I, too, am invested in crime documentaries. I wanted to ask how the Dahmer season compares to the show that was cast about him. I never heard of Ed Gein before and what horrific things he did, but it was interesting to learn that he inspired the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, American Psycho, and The Silence of the Lambs. I've seen all three of these movies so I can get an idea of how gruesome this man was without even knowing anything about him.

    I don't really have any plans to watch it just because I'm not a huge television person, but I am a huge crime junkie! I've seen clips from all of the seasons, and it is really interesting to see these individuals lives almost retold, it's eerie and intriguing all in one. I also have to give props to Evan Peters for his role as Jeffrey Dahmer, that is an insanely hard role to take on, and he did an incredible job with it. I've loved his work for years and he really embodied the role he was given.

    It is on my list but I am not sure if I will watch. I always think crime shows are for me and then I get scared. I still find the stories interesting, but I will stick to reading about them and not watching.

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...

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...
