The Power of Fringe CandidatesBy Joanna Patzig There are a lot of candidates in this presidential race. For some that makes it hard to stand out, while for others the broad competition adds policy pressure from all sides. The context of the other candidates really influences how we understand the competition. It’s helpful to see Biden’s outdated watered down republicanism in contrast to Bernie Sanders’ democratic socialism. It’s weird to see Marriane Williamson next to anyone, frankly, but her charismatic big picture ideas (best set to Twin Peaks music) reveal a lot about our political expectations for her and the other candidates.

Godzilla Stumbles on Clumsy Plot By Ryan Brunt Some movie franchises I go to for their nuanced storytelling or their ability to excel in a wide variety of areas. Godzilla- particularly the American version- is not one of those franchises. While I certainly understand and appreciate the anti-war and anti-imperialist messages that are inherent in the Godzilla mythos, when I see a new installment, I’m really there for one thing and one thing only. I want to see a really big lizard blow stuff up. What can I say? When I see Godzilla my inner eight-year-old jumps out. The latest installment, King of the Monsters, is no exception; I went to the theater to see some giant monsters beat each other up and beat each other up they did. It’s just a bit of a slog to get there.

Determining the Best 2020 Presidential CandidateBy Rachel Rivenbark Saying that the upcoming primaries for the 2020 presidential election are going to be hectic seems like a little bit of an understatement. Perhaps “bonkers” might be a more appropriate word, given that there is now an utterly ground-breaking twenty-seven primary candidates in total currently in the running - twenty-five of whom are Democrats, and only two of whom are Republicans. This beats out the last historical records for the highest number of primary candidates by almost ten, with the last records having been broken in 1976 with sixteen Democratic primary candidates, and again in 2016 with seventeen Republican candidates.

An Obituary RevisitedThe Miami humidity put me in a stupor when I was already low on energy. My sister Nina and I crammed into her car to drive from her apartment in Miami to the southern suburb of Kendall. This was not a holiday. The occasion was the death of our Uncle Bobby, a man who was not actually our uncle. We sat in silence, partially because of the heat, partially because of the mood. I had flown in from Washington, D.C. already expecting and dreading this half-hour drive. Neither one of us wanted to cry, but it happened anyway. The blasting air-conditioning smeared our tears before we could wipe them.
