A series of iconic horror movie reviews by a self-proclaimed horror hater just in time for spooky season.

How Marvel has sacrificed artistry to capitalize off of the profit-driven, formulaic culture of cinema today.

How City Council Candidates Are Making the Transition from Parents to Politicians . To the average constituent, elected officials can seem as distant as a whisper in the breeze with their titles and the thousands of votes they are able to earn based on name recognition alone. Even the layout of a typical City Hall depicts council members as more powerful than their electorate, as their chairs literally hover over civically dutiful people arguing how council measures should b

An unfortunate few on campus volunteer to experience menstrual cramps for the very first time using a simulation machine. For anyone who spent their summer scrolling through TikTok, occasionally a video of men trying period pain simulators would pop up. Grown adults wriggling around with a small machine attached to them as their faces scrunched up in pain was definitely as entertaining as it was unusual. While it was amusing to watch, questions inevitably come to mind about t

The best book recommendations that you’ll never find on BookTok. Dear Reader, Author Haruki Murakami once tweeted, “If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” Upon reading this, I was scared – petrified, actually. The first thing that came to mind was BookTok: even though I find great recommendations from it, it’s repetitive with what books it suggests to read, and worse, everybody reads BookTok recommendati

If New Roads ever manages to escape the pits of toddler-league sports, and also somehow gets into the NFL, and also somehow…well, let’s get on with it… Obviously, you kinda need a roster, so here is the official New Roads starting offense for the upcoming ‘22-23 season: Firstly, where do you start? Everyone knows. The star. The play-caller. The man behind every little thought. Brady. Brees. Rodgers. New Roads School needs its very own star. Out comes… QB1– Art Bell A former H

The title explains itself. Sitting on a table facing Eden, you hear a lot from others at New Roads as they’re walking by. It’s never intentional — to eavesdrop is to ruin the whole thing, so I did it. I’ve collected a series of quotes for this article, frankly, because I wasn’t sure what else to do to complete the article. All things considered, being perched up on that one table — and sometimes, if I’m feeling up for it, a few tables to the right when I work outside — has l

A list of some of the best (and worst) insults I have received. Insults: We all have gotten them, from joking friends, not-joking ex friends, family members, peers, siblings, even teachers from time to time. And yes, they can hurt you, but as we grow, they’re only something to look back at and laugh at. (like, seriously some of these suck) We should never take insults too seriously in the grand scheme of life, so, for that reason, I decided to share the following insults I h

Senior Jack Adams shadows the all-powerful Upper School Dean of Students. Let’s be real. I’m a very loud guy. I have been described as constantly sounding like I’m yelling at someone from the other side of a river. Any day at New Roads you will invariably hear me yell, “Hey a**hole!” “What are you, nuts?!” or “Jimmy!!” As in Jimmy Morrissey, our dean of students. But it was only a couple of days ago, after exchanging our customary “Jimmy!!” greeting, that I realized although

Some surprisingly personal letters to The Jaguardian’s Editor-in-Chief, Liam Waldman. From Inbal Waldman… It all started when he thought he wanted to be a chef and I became his personal sous chef and personal Uber driver. But he’s really good at telling you how to spend your money, where to eat, where to shop, what to do; and he will give a session of styling that comes with a really good price, and will make you take the subway in NY like native New Yorker. Basically, he wil

A concerned resident of Beverly Hills advocates for more ways to protect their neighborhood. To combat a rise in crime, the Beverly Hills Police Department has increased surveillance with more security cameras. This is a fantastic opportunity to keep our neighborhood crime-free. People should not have to fear being robbed or losing their life when they are out in their neighborhood. Increased surveillance is a marvelous way to ensure that police officers are able to investiga

Rick Caruso’s first act as mayor. (Illustration by Liam Waldman / The Jaguardian) “For my first act as mayor, I have finally rid town hall of corruption and am proud to announce a state-of-the-art shopping center in its place.”

I am proud to announce that my last act as Editor-In-Chief is to give you a big fat “B” on your final grade. You tried to create an original NFT, and you tried to list it. You failed on both counts. I’ll give it to ya, you were proud of that failure. You took it with charisma, and embraced the fact that you would wind up with a lower grade. I will say that your engagement in this class has been a slow and gradual process, somewhat obstructed by senioritis and what-about-ism.

Mini Kabob is an unassuming-yet-delicious restaurant that’s been open for nearly 40 years. Social media has both redefined and uplifted what “mom-and-pop-shop” means for its business model. Living in Glendale for the past five years, I have witnessed numerous changes to one of Los Angeles’ most prominent neighborhoods. Explosive development in the form of apartment buildings, businesses, and office buildings has largely blossomed out from the Americana, an outdoor mall owned

Schools such as Andover and Exeter are private boarding schools in New England that were founded centuries ago, known for their rigorous curriculum and academically excellent students , paving a smooth road for Ivy League acceptances. The college application process is nothing short of miserable for almost everyone involved. It’s a grueling period of time full of essay writing, test taking, and transcript sending. Some people choose to go through a similar process much earlie

The underrepresented perils of the beloved Olympics . While the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games was looked down upon due to the authoritarian and violent actions of the Chinese Communist Party and the several diplomatic boycotts that the event brought with it, there is an upcoming Olympics much closer to home that needs to be examined: the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The LA Games are over six years away, but the movement against the local Olympics has been going since Los Angeles w

A (nearly) well-known and (entirely) hostile provocateur and his “manny driver” serve up some of the quickest spots to grab a meal and get back to class (almost) on time. The Window at American Beauty Drive: 15 minutes Cost: Affordable Recommendation : Order Ahead. Advice: Bring some napkins to eat in car. Max The food was delightful and having to shovel it in my face while being scared of being late for Ted’s class (which I was) added excitement and deliciousness to the
