HIMYM Season Round-Up
Jessica Tandberg HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother, for those of you playing at home, who have more time to type the full name repeatedly), is a show that once was a tightly-scripted, clever enough comedy, but now feels a little like watching Julius Caesar’s death in Rome, as dozens of senators stab him over and over [...]

AFL Round 8
Jack Palazzo Finally, the obituary for the bump has been written. It is simply too risky to knock players off the ball. Even one of the shortest players in the AFL, Eddie Betts, can’t help but take out a player’s head. So now, he misses four weeks for unintentionally making contact with someone’s head. Yep, [...]

Daft Punk X Saint Laurent
Sarah Hamza With today’s release of what has got to be the most anticipated album of the year; Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, somehow the masked duo have had time to squeeze in a pretty sweet fashion collab. The French music revolutionaries, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have teamed up with no other than design powerhouse [...]

The “National” Student “Strike”
Pete Green I wasn’t keen to write anything about the National Student Strike, mostly because I figured that it was a no win situation; no matter which position I took, my comments would either seem jaded and cynical or I would be associated with a group of people who seem to think that students are [...]

AFL Round 7
Jack Palazzo Last week highlighted the quality gap in footy at the moment. It really was an incredible week of contenders vs pretenders. Who else picked nine? Oh yeah, everyone. Very little to talk about really, Port were found out by North who had been luckless until that point. Richmond’s reality check continues having now [...]

TV Pick of the Week: Parks and Recreation
Posted on 09 May 2013
Jessica Tandberg Parks and Recreation is a show which managed the remarkable feat of jumping the shark, backwards. Wheeeeee!!! The first season was, pretty much, terrible. It borrowed heavily from the British Office in its mockumentary-style setup and its awkward humour. The characters were so bizarre as to be virtually unrelatable – something which is okay in [...] Continue Reading

AFL Round 6
Posted on 03 May 2013
Jack Palazzo Big round on the field last week. The Tiges received another reality check, Hawthorn found a way to win against the odds, the Blues are back, Port keep winning and Melbourne are still rubbish. I can already here Richmond supporter crying foul. First of all, I would like to point out that [...] Continue Reading

Why I’m Giving Up on Girls
Posted on 01 May 2013
Jessica Tandberg Yes, this review has come several weeks after Girls finished up its second season. The reason for this delay is I gave up on Girls’ second season after episode seven, and only ended up watching the remaining three episodes because my housemate kept bugging me about it. Also, I love Ray. I was also a little reluctant [...] Continue Reading

The Students that Cried Wolf
Posted on 30 April 2013
Pete Green Tomorrow will mark the first student general meeting in several decades for Monash University’s Clayton Campus. The meeting will address the controversial cuts being made to university budgets around the country. As a student of politics and history at the aforementioned campus I can proudly say that I will not be attending. It’s [...] Continue Reading

AFL Round 5
Posted on 26 April 2013
Jack Palazzo It really is not like me to take pot shots at the umpires, however I was disgusted with their effort at the G at the end of the third quarter. Essendon were slightly in front but the game was certainly in the balance then two of the softest, most ridiculous free kicks gifted Essendon two [...] Continue Reading

AFL Round 5: ANZAC Day Special
Posted on 25 April 2013
Jack Palazzo Despite the collective scoff from people who undervalue the significance of sport, ANZAC day is probably the day I am most proud to be Australian. The football, as trivial as it is when compared to war, is an incredibly powerful symbol of conflicts that helped to mould the Australian psyche. The underdog, fun [...] Continue Reading

TV Pick of the Week: Archer
Posted on 24 April 2013
Jess Tandberg Contains mild spoilers for season four. “A spy comedy? Because that has been done”, the well-hung accountant of ISIS, Cyril Figgus, uttered in one of the early episodes of the funniest show on television. Done it has been, but not like this. Archer is the kind of show that has you snorting out [...] Continue Reading

Dogs vs Crows live blog
Posted on 21 April 2013
Jack Palazzo Post Game Best for the Crows were Dangerfield with four goals, Sloane and Douglas who saw plenty of the footy and Thompson who stood up in the third quarter when the Crows finished off the hapless Bulldogs. Not heaps to smile about for the Dogs, great to see Cooney and Boyd return to [...] Continue Reading

AFL Round 4
Posted on 19 April 2013
Jack Palazzo Reports of overflowing and broken down bandwagons around the Punt rd area are becoming out of control. The police have released a statement that if the Tigers beat the Pies this week then Melbourne’s population of bandwagon jumpers will skyrocket to a level not seen since Sheedy played in a back pocket. Richmond [...] Continue Reading
