A Valentine’s date: ‘Your Place or Mine’

Rachel Hartmann | Thursday, February 16, 2023

As the celebrations for Valentine’s Day continue throughout the week, I look to romantic comedies to fill the void which comes with being single on a holiday made for couples. There are always the classic romantic comedies that I can rely on such as “10 Things I Hate About You” or “When Harry Met Sally,”

22. ‘Cave World’ by Viagra Boys “Cave World” is the third LP of punk rock band Viagra Boys, and it expands upon what made their previous records so great. The album is absolutely soaked in meta-irony and absurdist humor. Viagra Boys are simultaneously drawn to and repelled by the eclectic world of conspiracy theories, incels

Lizzo’s new album ‘Special’: All about love

Rachel Hartmann | Tuesday, August 30, 2022

When Lizzo’s album came out, I had to take a moment of silence because I knew the moment I listened to the album everything would change — and it did. “Special,” the new album by Lizzo is about loving yourself unequivocally and allowing others to love you as well. The 12 songs in the album

‘Turning Red’: Get your paws on it now

Rachel Hartmann | Friday, March 18, 2022

When I first saw teasers for the new Pixar movie “Turning Red” directed by Domee Shi, I was super excited. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved Pixar movies. They hold a special place in my heart because they tell magical and memorable stories.  In “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Meilin “Mei” Lee (Rosalie

‘Tick, Tick… Boom!’: A countdown to adulthood

The production is an homage to the late Johnathan Larson — the writer who created the original “Tick, Tick… Boom!” stageplay and Tony Award-winning “Rent.” In “Tick,

Every year, the cultured denizens of The Observer’s culture section come together to rank the best albums of the year. The process is long and tiring, involving a complicated Excel spreadsheet (the formulas for which we barely comprehend).  Often, there are casualties — this year, there were several. Right on the outskirts of our top-10

‘Hellbound’: Fate or something more

Rachel Hartmann | Wednesday, December 1, 2021

In “Hellbound,” the world is thrown into chaos when huge, terrifying demons appear and drag sinners to hell. These demons appear on the date and time specified by a mythical creature who appeared to the sinners before. As these demons appear more and more, religious extremism grows as individuals call these events the will of

ABBA’s new album ‘Voyage’: A journey in growing up

Rachel Hartmann | Wednesday, November 10, 2021

When I heard ABBA was reuniting to create an album, I immediately blasted “Super Trouper” and joyously danced around my room. It has been 40 years since ABBA split up, but the legacy of the Swedish pop powerhouse has been set in stone. From hits like “Dancing Queen” to “Voulez-Vous,” ABBA has centralized their position

‘Squid Game’: How far would you go?

Rachel Hartmann | Monday, October 4, 2021

Imagine this: You’re sitting in a subway car, contemplating your life, and a man approaches you with a proposition. Would you be willing to play a game with him for money? If you win, you win the money, but if he wins, he gets to slap you across the face (and not lightly). In this

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
