Angelo DiTocco Having been on YouTube for a long time, I often see people expressing sentiments about how they wish the platform could go back to its older days. Back in the ‘00s, there was no “YouTube drama” and there were no “ad-pocalypses” to worry about. But as I’ve said many times before, those who get nostalgic for the past are often looking at it through rose-colored glasses. The YouTuber “Fred” is a prime example…
Is Female Characterization “Death Proof?”
By Madeline Perez For all the worship Quentin Tarintino gets, it’s strange to see his 2007 film Death Proof get so much hate. This becomes much more understandable when you find that it is his self-proclaimed “worst movie ever made,” giving his fans (mind slaves) a sort of permission, or even encouragement to drag it through the mud after it flopped at the box office. (And if you haven’t seen it, please watch first, because…
In Defense of 27 Dresses
AJW My love for the romantic comedy is similar to how most people feel about a beloved childhood pet, but not everyone shares my enthusiasm. Perhaps it’s because they didn’t grow up with them, or maybe they’re viewing them through the same lens as something more critically acclaimed. To me, it seems most people’s discontentment with the genre comes from the fact that they’re cheesy, predictable, with no purpose or heart. I recommend these people…
Does Rodgers Edge Dick? Hank Pecker Weighs In
Target “Tugboat” Thatcher Preface: Every four years, the impending doom of the Presidential election looms over the heads of millions of median voters across the great state of America. Both the Republican and Democratic nominees and their respective handlers have, yet again, become the talk of the landfill that is Twitter (X sounds like a porn site, so I’ll refrain from repeating or using it). However, a new figure has entered the presidential dogfight, and…
The Bettman Blues
Aiden Miller “Why the NHL’s hot, and the NBA’s not” was the infamous phrase printed by the now-defunct Sports Illustrated magazine after the New York Rangers’ historic Stanley Cup win against the Vancouver Canucks in June of 1994. Riding the coattails of that win—their first in 54 years (the 2nd longest Stanley Cup drought in history)—newly elected commissioner Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League (NHL) were touted as ‘saviors of hockey’ by reporters and…
Bing Review’s Sex Songs
By Our Staff Some may read this magazine and think, “man, Bing Review must have absolutely NO sex.” To this we say, “nuh uh.” We have plenty of sex, not just with your mom, but with HER mom too. And when we do it, we like to have some music playing in the background because we’re just cool like that. The following is a selection of our favorite songs for our (many) sexual escapades. She…
Mitski Songs for Your Romance Woes
by Emily Portalatin Valentine’s Day is full of variety: while some people look forward to gifts and dates, others stress over situationships, delusionships, and relationships so troublesome that they may begin to research their attachment style. It can be difficult to grapple with the emotions that come with bad romantic situations. One way I find it helpful to work through any feeling is through music. It may sound cliche, but shouting, crying, or even simply…
The Redemption of Johnny Depp
By Marco Flores After years of experiencing his career declining, actor Johnny Depp, best known for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is looking to make a comeback – this time in the director’s chair. Depp is working on his first major project directing a biopic titled Modi. The film follows the life of Italian artist and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani, known to his friends as “Modi.” Depp…
The Worst Game Ever Created
Angelo DiTocco We all need to be entertained from time to time. And unless you’re one of those people who only watches Netflix or Hulu or Peacock or whichever other one of the 15 big streaming services there are nowadays, you pass the time by playing games. However, some games are so bad that after playing them, you wish you had instead spent that time watching grass grow. There are a variety of reasons why…
In Defense of Country Music
By Johnny Patterson Imagine this scene: you’re sitting in class, and someone sits down in the empty seat to your right. They ask you your name and give you theirs. You immediately hit it off, the conversation flows effortlessly. “Finally, my first friend,” you think to yourself. Eventually, the topic of music is brought up. You tell them your favorite artists and ask what they like. “I listen to everything really,” they say, “well, everything…
The Miserable Mets
By Aiden Miller Throwing a changeup to the average Binghamton Review reader with an article about baseball. Yes, a writer in the Binghamton Review is writing something directly related to sports. A stunning day in the history of this club. Now I know what you incels may be asking, “Get this guy out of here I only care about politics and stupid jokes.”. Well, go fuck yourself. I’m going to write an article about a…
Johnny Cash Renews Inmates’ Identities, Live At Folsom Prison.
By Toby Olson A banner runs across the bottom of the stage, “Welcome Johnny Cash.” It’s the only decoration in one of Folsom Prison’s harshly lit rec rooms. On stage: an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, an electric bass, a drum kit, a fiddle, and a harmonica. Cash opens with “Folsom Prison Blues,” an attempt to capture the experience of the very individuals sitting in front of him. The raspy howls of the inmates at…
Musical Theatre’s Power of Biblical Proportions
By Emily Portalatin Sorry, everyone. I don’t have time to write this article, I have rehearsal… is what I would say if I were a theatre kid! Got ya!!!!!!!! Okay, I am a musical fan, but we’ve all heard harsh rumors about the stereotypical “theatre kid”: a fan who publicly breaks into song, makes theatre their only trait, and expresses jealousy toward others in the theatre setting; a Rachel Berry type. I am no stranger…
“AI and its Effects on the Music Industry”
By Daniel Guido AI continues to amaze the internet and the world with its capacity for extraordinary feats. It has now proven itself capable of creating music on par with that of accomplished singers and songwriters. The impacts this will have on the music industry will prove to be of great importance in the near future. Over the past few months, AI programs have been used to replicate the voices of real human beings, especially…
The Persona Article
By Dillon O’Toole Hey everyone, it sure has been a while since I last wrote something (at least if you ignore the advice column). In that time, many ideas have come and gone, but, in the end, I was unable to transfer any of them into concrete ideas. That is, until today. Unlike a lot of the people I know, I never had any interest in either anime or JRPGs (Japanese Role-Playing Games). I watched…
