‘Trevor Noah: Joy in the Trenches’ finds humor in political hardship
Trevor Noah wears many hats — actor, political commentator, Emmy-award winning television host, producer, New York Times bestselling author and, of course, comedian. But it is when he combines these pursuits that his work shines brightest. This is particularly evident in his latest Netflix special, “Trevor Noah: Joy in the Trenches,” which is as entertaining as it is politically salient. Filled with rich storytelling, Noah’s special invites viewers to appreciate the comedy within chaos.
Solo performance ‘Echo Chamber’ explores a museum of memory
Those who stopped by the Lindemann Performing Arts Center last weekend may have heard a cacophony of distorted voices echoing through the building. Those who followed the sound to the Performance Lab would have seen Noah Martinez ’27 bathed in colored light as he debuted his solo performance “Echo Chamber.” Martinez began writing the 90-minute solo performance as a first-year at Dartmouth.
‘The Predator of Seville’ tells story of trauma while centering strength of survivors
Content warning: This article includes mentions of sexual assault. About ten years ago, the #MeToo movement began spreading awareness and empowering the voices of sexual assault survivors. Amid growing discussion about how victims of sexual assault struggle to be believed, many film and TV productions chose to tackle the topic by portraying female survivors as helpless.
Despite Conan O’Brien’s distasteful hosting, 98th Academy Awards remain potent political platform
Conan O’Brien's hosting was redeemed by speeches from the winners. While the Academy Awards are a celebration of film, they are also one of the few moments when Hollywood has the opportunity to present itself as a socially serious American institution. Unfortunately, the ill-advised decision to have Conan O’Brien host the 98th Academy Awards, aired live from Hollywood’s Dolby Theater, undercut much of that ambition.

In moving episode of ‘Famous Last Words,’ actor Eric Dane tells his daughters to persevere
On Feb. 20, the day after actor Eric Dane’s passing, Netflix released the second episode of its show “Famous Last Words” — a series of interviews with celebrities only released following their passing. In a display of impactful vulnerability, Dane lays himself bare in front of a global audience, choosing to impart a final message of perseverance.
New miniseries ‘Being Gordon Ramsay’ is gripping, but starkly removed from reality
The new Netflix miniseries, “Being Gordon Ramsay,” attempts to frame its portrait of Gordon Ramsay as a gripping story of the chef balancing professional aspiration with domestic strain. Yet for such emphasis on struggle and success, the series never anchors that narrative in stakes that feel genuine or inspiring.
‘Wuthering Heights’ adaptation swerves dangerously from its text
When thinking of director Emerald Fennell’s films, breathtaking visuals — born through her strong directorial vision and Linus Sandgren’s cinematographic skills — are the first thing that come to mind. Fennell’s recently released adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” is no outlier. Sweeping shots of the English moors, powerful silhouettes and intense close-ups elicit feelings of awe and, at times, a deep discomfort in viewers.
‘After Hours: Annual Staff Art Exhibition’ illuminates the creative talents of University staff
Staff can submit artwork across many disciplines — including painting, pottery and photography — to the exhibit. Geoff Williams spends his workdays creating images using microscopes as the manager of Brown’s Leduc Bioimaging Facility. But one of the most recent images Williams showed on Brown’s campus was not taken through a microscope — it was a photograph shot on an analog camera.
