Okay, yes, I like HSMTMTS, and all I want is for that to be okay. Season two of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” (HSMTMTS) will be streaming on Disney+ starting May 14, and it is set to drop the name of the spring musical for the Wildcats along with the start of a

A few weeks ago, Scene was feeling blue. And can you blame us? As we trudged our way through the middle of the semester, our already-low spirits were lowered only still by “permacloud,” rain storms and chilly temperatures. Throw in some seasonal allergies, and you’ve got yourself the month of April. So we did what

(Warning: The following article contains spoilers for “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”) I’m sad to say I wasn’t impressed with “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” The middle child of Marvel Studios’ first blatantly canon foray into streaming just didn’t meet the standards they’ve set over the last decade. (I say, “blatantly canon,” given

Warning: “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” spoilers ahead! Looking back to six weeks ago when I started watching “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” I was a bit hesitant to say the show would be one of Marvel’s finest. I asked myself, “How could Marvel outdo the masterful sitcom gold that was ‘WandaVision?’” “Am

The time has finally come for Marvel fans’ favorite two side characters to step into the spotlight with their own six-episode series on Disney+. On Mar. 19, the pilot episode of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was released after much anticipation, following

Some of the fondest memories of my youth are my friends’ birthday parties. They were always big sleepovers with 20 kids running around in the basement playing tag or football — that is, until everything changed. From 2009 on, every time a friend invited me to their birthday party, it was to go see James

Disney live action remakes are a special kind of cinematic purgatory. Few of them are truly irredeemable; you can always count on lavish production design, ornate costumes and some solid VFX. But in service of what? “Cinderella,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” — these movies are soulless. I’m not sure a studio has ever been

When I decided to live in Annunciata (the fourth floor of Holy Cross Hall at Saint Mary’s) last year, one of the perks was having a lounge for Annunciata residents only. COVID-19 restrictions have caused all the room’s comfortable seating to be reduced to two hardwood tables and the full kitchen to a single microwave

TikTok made me do it. I have been saying that more than I ever thought was possible prior to quarantine, but alas, here we are; “Phineas and Ferb’s” creator Dan Povenmire took to TikTok to promote “Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe.” The opening of this movie is great, with an upbeat song

I’ll be honest, I only watched this movie because we’ve been trapped in our dorms for two weeks. That being said, I could have done a lot worse with 90 minutes than “The One and Only Ivan,” the newest addition to the Disney+ catalog and the latest film to forego a theatrical release. I feel
