‘Impermeably and forever’: Reflecting on Rory Gilmore’s graduation speech

Mannion McGinley | Friday, January 27, 2023

“Gilmore Girls” has been a comfort show of mine for years. Through my many watches, I’ve processed that Rory Gilmore is no perfect character. In fact, she’s one of the farthest main characters from “perfect” that I have come to know in my 22 years of reading, watching and learning. While she and Lorelai didn’t

‘You can’t ever say you haven’t been told’: My love letter to ‘The Sopranos’

Stephen Viz | Thursday, January 26, 2023

Television, in particular paid programming television, has seen a cinematic revival since the turn of the twenty-first century. While once belittled as the little brother of the silver screen, the current landscape of television has changed drastically. No longer do actors smirk at the idea of taking on TV projects, but rather embrace it in

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.

‘Tell Me Lies’: A train wreck

Rose Androwich | Monday, September 12, 2022

On Wednesday, Sept. 7, the first three episodes of the new Hulu series “Tell Me Lies” was released. While the first episode begins in the present, the director takes us back to Lucy’s first year of college. The director’s choice for bridging the past and present naturally presented spoilers. Even though these foreshadowing details somewhat piqued

Beauty in simplicity: Children’s television

Caitlin Brannigan | Monday, August 29, 2022

I had only once seen the 2002 Disney classic, “Lilo & Stitch,” as a child. Although I eagerly watched (and rewatched!) Disney movies as a child, all I could remember of this particular movie was thinking it was adorable. Upon rewatching it as an adult, I expected a lighthearted, feel-good film about a young girl

The fall of Saul: A Jimmy McGill character study

Meg Sluzas | Friday, August 26, 2022

Summer 2022 began and ended with “Better Call Saul.” The final season sucked me in with character development that only Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould can deliver. The series takes Saul Goodman, a character who mainly serves as comic relief in “Breaking Bad,” and deepens him into a man who masks his true nature to

Why are we still watching reality TV?

Caitlin Brannigan | Tuesday, March 22, 2022

After sitting through yet another painful episode of “The Bachelor” a few weeks ago, I experienced what may be the most trivial crisis of my entire life. I simply could not figure out why I would continue to watch a show that takes years off my lifespan. Week after week, it’s another episode of the

The contagious social commentary of “All of Us Are Dead”

JP Spoonmore | Tuesday, February 8, 2022

When watching foreign shows, the creators’ culture often dilutes in translation. But Netflix’s newest original, “All of Us Are Dead,” goes above and beyond to keep South Korean culture at its core. This webtoon-inspired show explores every socioeconomic angle of the stress-ridden life of South Korean high schoolers. Test scores and bullying are bad enough,

‘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

‘Cheer’ is back and better than ever

Abigail Keaney | Tuesday, January 25, 2022

It might be difficult, but if you can manage to cast your mind all the way back to January 2020 — a distant time before the pandemic dominated our lives, you might remember a little Netflix show called “Cheer.” Following a Texas community college cheer team on their journey to the national championship in Daytona

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.
