The mutated adaptation of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’

JP Spoonmore | Wednesday, January 25, 2023

When HBO announced that they were adapting my favorite game, “The Last of Us,” as a nine-episode TV show, I was terrified. After just two episodes, I now realize something truly special is unfolding. My goal for this article, though, is not to review the show, or to even praise the accuracy of its adaptation.

‘The Menu’: When your passion becomes a burden

Gabriel Zarazua | Monday, January 23, 2023

The release of Mark Mylod’s “The Menu” came during a time where I was struggling with my passion for art. Where the fun was no longer there, not the carefree emotions I used to have, now being replaced with the burden of finishing work and moving on to the next piece. It was an emotionally

The creativity of ‘Velma’

Rose Androwich | Friday, January 20, 2023

I’d never had the experience of loving something that is popularly recognized as bad, until “Velma,” HBO Max’s new adult animation series reimagining “Scooby-Doo.” According to Rotten Tomatoes, only 9% of its audience liked the show. Well, I found myself in that 9%. I loved this origin story for my favorite “Scooby-Doo” character and how

‘What’s the deal with the heads?’: ‘The White Lotus’ premieres with Sicilian style 

James Thompson | Friday, November 4, 2022

On the coasts of Italy, among the beautiful beaches, gauche restaurants and tastefully nude Greco-Roman statues, crime is afoot. Yet another “White Lotus” location is the scene of a grisly crime, but now the stakes are much higher. There are five bodies that have shown up floating in the crystal-clear waters of the resort.

‘And Just Like That…’ is just not it

Reyna Lim | Friday, February 4, 2022

[Editor’s Note: Spoilers ahead.] Television revivals are tricky. Streaming services have allowed us to revisit old favorites in new, high-definition productions, but a well-executed revival is rare to come by. Two of my comfort shows faced rude awakenings with recent revivals. The new “Gossip Girl” soiled the show’s name with subpar acting and plotlines. “Gilmore

Where did Harry go?

Siobhan Loughney | Thursday, October 7, 2021

My family, like so many others, has not had cable television in years. In the age of streaming, the services of Xfinity and Fios no longer hit the mark for those looking to cut back to the least expensive and most convenient options. Platforms like Hulu provide access to live television, while Disney+ is stocked

‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ review

Nicole Bilyak | Wednesday, March 24, 2021

In 2017, director Joss Whedon released “Justice League.” The film received mixed reviews due to Whedon’s rushed production, and it was unlikeable, to say the least. Whedon was supposed to take after Zack Snyder, the original director, but Snyder left due to the death of his daughter Autumn. So, four years later, Snyder re-released “Justice

The Snyder cut: directorial vision and fandom

Justin George | Tuesday, March 23, 2021

Since the release of Joss Whedon’s 2017 cut of “Justice League,” fans of DC have been demanding the release of the Snyder cut, a seemingly mythic version of the film that would fulfill Zack Snyder’s original vision for “Justice League” and the DC Extended Universe at large. On Mar. 18, HBO Max released the Snyder cut.

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.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. 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.
