It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

Scene on the Screen: looking into the best, the worst and the weirdest filmmaking, on both the big and small screens, from 2019. Cinema? Who is she? By Mike Donovan, Scene Editor Robert Downey Jr.’s “Avengers: Endgame” martyrdom tried quite diligently to signal “‘the end of an era,’ punctuating a sprawling filmic enterprise” with the

The fifth season of “BoJack Horseman” kicks off with the song “Los Ageless” off of St. Vincent’s latest album “Masseduction,” which thematically focuses on the ideas of power and temptation. This song is a perfect fit for “BoJack Horseman,” a show set in an animated version of Hollywood — a place no stranger to these concepts.

The era of “Peak TV” continued in 2017, with hundreds of programs airing on network TV and streaming services alike. Netflix alone spent $6 billion on original programming this year, ensuring not only a high volume of content to binge watch into the early hours of the morning, but a diverse range of serieses from

Season 4 of the FX comedy “You’re The Worst” begins with a new title sequence that cements many of the changes the show and the characters in it underwent in Season 3. As the show has grown, it has become less and less centered upon the original lead characters, Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya

“Do you ever get the feeling that to know you more is to love you less?” This question neatly encapsulates this series’ well-developed themes of intimacy and fear, explored through every major character and their relationships. The character who expresses this existential anxiety claims eight last names because her fathers are in a committed gay

It is a special kind of episode that can uproot all the main characters and transport them to a new world where they can’t speak. It is a special kind of song that can take you back to the underwater episode of “BoJack Horseman” via synths, muttered French and a repeated refrain of “you know

“BoJack Horseman” is a fortunate anomaly of a show. Starting out as a relatively weak animated adult comedy, “BoJack Horseman” quickly evolved into a full-fledged character drama. Over the course of its three seasons, it has investigated the depression and anxiety connected to the way different personalities seek fulfillment and pulled no punches when portraying what happens to

Warning: Spoilers for season one of Bojack Horseman I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time trying to convince my friends to watch Bojack Horseman. It’s not because it’s hilarious (though it is), or because it features my Hollywood crush Alison Brie (though it certainly, certainly does), but because it makes a really good argument for

The first episode of “BoJack Horseman” plays it relatively safe, albeit in a smart manner. With its premiere, the adult-audience, animated comedy spends most of its running time expounding rather than exhausting. The script is not interested in diluting its characters to cheap punch lines and paper-thin dimensionality. Raphael Bob-Waksburg, writer and creator of the
