Step Aside Netflix
It May Be Time to Switch Streaming Services Christopher Bright, Bobby Sweeney, and Ben Vastola November 12th may have marked a drastic shift in the way consumers view streaming services. The highly anticipated Disney+ dropped, potentially transforming the world of streaming. For only $6.99 a month (nearly half the price of Netflix) members have access to nearly 500 movies and 7,500 episodes of TV. Some of them include The Mandalorian, Forky Asks A Question, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, and all 31 seasons of The Simpsons. The timing was strategically smart.

Medea Behind the Scenes
It is chaos, but it is not profit killing chaos. Every T.C. production tends to look like a mess until the day of the opening night, but it can feel like a religious experience once you get through the first show. This year’s production of Medea was shaping up to be no different as the crew entered “hell week,” which is the week before opening night.

This album delves into Malone’s struggles with relationships as well as the pitfalls of his fame. The record is a mixed bag, to say the least. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. One of the reasons why Post Malone has widespread appeal is the fact that he is not bound to one genre. His music incorporates elements of hip hop, rock, trap rap, pop, and R&B.
