Stanford Live partners with Stand Up, D to bring Jenny Zigrino to campus
Last Thursday, Stanford Live invited Jenny Zigrino, a risqué East Coast comedian, to perform at Bing Concert Hall along with two student openers from the student stand-up group, Stanford Stand Up, D. Stanford Live is a performing arts organization based out of Bing Concert Hall that hosts over 120 musical and comedy performances annually. Zigrino was the first of three comedians that will perform for Stanford Live in the 2018-2019 season.
‘Happy Death Day 2U’ is a happy accident
Watching “Happy Death Day 2U” was a surreal experience that I still can’t quite wrap my head around. I thoroughly enjoyed the first film — its humorous spin on the slasher genre presented a certain self-awareness that I appreciate in modern cinema. However, having seen the trailers for the second film, I went in with low expectations — I mean, I can count the number of good horror sequels on one hand.
‘The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’ is a lump of coal
When will Disney learn that reimagining a classic is not always the best move? You’d think even they would know better when said classic is a seminal ballet and Disney wants to make an action-fantasy film. “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” is an attempt at milking an iconic story for money.

Bewitching Halloween reads
In celebration of Halloween, Reads beat writers share a few of their favorite works that probe at the unsettling and the horrific, with recommendations that range from classic mysteries to thrillers that delve into the darkest parts of the human mind.
‘Maniac’ considers the mysteries of the mind
Jam-packed with 90s nostalgia, boxy computers, eccentric scientists and a twisted vintage style, “Maniac” thrusts us into a world that is not quite our own. Set in an alternate United States, “Maniac” plays with a future where clunky technology and green-text PCs create functioning AI and seek to unravel the human brain. The 10 episode mini-series delves into the convoluted plot of a drug trial gone awry and the two individuals wrapped up in the middle of it.
‘The Haunting of Hill House’ combines scares with compelling characters
As a person who loathes the horror-genre, I approached “The Haunting of Hill House” with caution. However, I was thoroughly impressed by the first half of the show. The Netflix series, based on the 1959 Shirley Jackson novel of the same name, is a psychological horror show that revolves around a group of siblings, the Crains, who grew up in Hill House, an old mansion that would later become known as the most famous haunted house in America.
