Interview: Michael Malarkey
Not really. I had a lot of change in my life throughout my time on the show, so of course in a convoluted way, but nothing directly related to it. You’re affected by all the jobs you work, the places you go and the people you meet. You learn new things about yourself and are constantly evolving. Naturally, you channel all that life juice into whatever you do, your work and your relationships, whether you know it or not. Yes and no. It’s probably helped in the writing process.
Yule | Swansea Student Media
Also known as Alban Arthan by the Druids, stretches back in history to many ancient practices. Most of which prominently feature a festival associated with the birth of a God, and hoping to bring back the sun which gives life, encouraging birth and re-birth in the cycle. Modern Paganism has turned its focus more towards family and festival, celebrating the old traditions very rarely; however, we do see a common theme in the Roman, Celtic, Persian, Swedish, and Norse teachings.
Krampus: The Christmas Devil
Michael Dougherty, director of the upcoming Godzilla 2 (2019), also directed and wrote the lesser known Krampus. Starring Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation), Toni Collette (Muriel’s Wedding) and David Koechner (Anchorman), there will be some fun in this film along with the dark. Krampus tells the story of a young boy whose extended family come to stay for the holidays, and ruin a happy time of year for him.

C: I chose to go on a blind date for fun. P: It’s an interesting concept and I’d never been on one before. C: He was very friendly and easy to talk to.

Feeling Sad? | Swansea Student Media
-There are several causes of SAD. It’s good to think of SAD as being solar powered – it’s pretty rubbish when winter comes around but it’s nice to know things improve when summer returns. -The effects of light – when light hits the back of the eye, messages are sent to the area of the brain that controls things like sleep, appetite, temperature and mood. If there’s not enough light, these functions gradually slow down.
Review: King Nun
King Nun are a London four-piece alternative rock band currently on the rise with increasing demand on the indie scene. Having toured as part of the Dirty Hit Tour with Superfood and Pale Waves in early 2017, they played a gig alongside Bloxx for rock band in heaven in Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach on the 14th October.
Will you be boycotting fur this winter?
Animal pelts have been symbolic of status all throughout history, as far back as when priests and priestesses wore leopard and lion skin in 3000-300BC Egypt. In the Western World, 11th Century royalty and bourgeois wore derivatives of ermine, mink, sable and chinchilla to flaunt their wealth. Fur became much more accessible for public consumption as a result of colonialism in the 17th and 18th Centuries. By the early 1900s, French designers had begun to make fur a staple in fashion.
Agony Aunts | Swansea Student Media
It really sucks that all your flatmates are going home and you aren’t, but fear not! There will still be people around! Like you, not all international students go home so find out if any of the other international students you know will be around and you can spend more time with them. If any of your friends commute, they live in the area so you could also meet up with them while your flatmates are away and, failing that, your housemates will be back soon.
The Room: So bad, it’s good
The history behind The Room is fascinating, so much so, that there is currently a film in cinemas called The Disaster Artist which follows the conception and production of The Room, and stars James Franco as Wiseau. In the same way that The Room is an oddity of a film, Wiseau is an oddity of a human being. Based on the way he thinks people act, converse and speak within The Room, it’s safe to say that he has no understanding of how human beings function.
Blade Runner 2049
Sequels tend to have a bad reputation for ruining the franchise; they are viewed as a cash cow for companies to make quick and easy money, knowing that it is less risk for the production company because they already know the film has an established audience, and so, less effort goes into making them. Thank goodness Blade Runner did it right! This is a film that pays true homage to the original title.
A festive nightmare
From a young age, Christmas has always been my favourite time of year; there was nothing I loved more than watching Christmas movies, going Christmas shopping and of course eating extortionate amounts of chocolate. Most especially though, I have always adored the shining beauty of Christmas decorations that adorn our homes, shops and streets every year in the build up to ‘the big day’.
Review: London Grammar
As Edinburgh’s Usher Hall filled up, the rowdy Scottish crowd, me included, was buzzing with excitement as ‘Lo Moon’, London Grammar’s incredible American support act, played their unheard and unexpected music to the Scots, who absolutely loved it. After a long, apprehensive wait post Lo Moon, front-woman Hannah Reid stepped on stage and the entire hall exploded with excitement. I had never experienced an audience that was so loud; it was almost deafening.
Swansea Uni FC in stunning victory over former British BUCS championship Cardiff Met
Swansea Uni FC have beaten Cardiff Met FC in one of the most significant games of the season. Met, who are currently in second place in the Welsh Premier League, are chasing a lucrative spot in European Football after narrowly missing out last season. However, their squad, which contained 6 players that defeated a fully professional Bangor city on Saturday in the WPL, still couldn’t see off Swansea on Wednesday in a game that ended in an incredible win for the home side.
