My unapologetic ‘Star Wars’ opinions

Hello there Hoot readers! I know I have a lot of nerve returning to the Arts Section after last week’s George W. Bush x Timothee Chalamet fanfiction (in print only). However, it’s almost Star Wars Day and like Emperor Palpatine in Episode IX, I have returned … with a vengeance. If you thought the fanfiction […]

I get Marlin and Marlin gets me

Good day, my dear Hoot readers! I hope life is treating you well. I’m doing fine, just procrastinating like usual. After last month’s grand declaration of down-badness and the debauchery of my January article, I thought I’d keep it chill this time. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about comfort characters. I have really gravitated […]

Top 10 songs I wanna make out to

What’s up Hoot readers? I don’t know about you, but Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I feel down baaaaad. For whom? I don’t even know at this point.

Art that eased the pain

Hell-ooooooo Hoot Readers!!!! It’s been a while since I’ve last written to you. The last month and a half has been an emotional roller-coaster, but we are so back! Aside from all the wonderful people in my life (I love you all so much, yes, even you), art has been essential to getting me through […]

How I’d survive a ‘Friday the 13th’ movie

Happy Friday the 13th, Hoot readers! It’s Zach, back for my second article. Given today’s date, I thought I’d write about one of my favorite movie series, “Friday the 13th.” Each film in this 80s slasher movie franchise has the same formula: hockey-masked zombie killer Jason Voorhees slashes a group of teens who foolishly decide […]

Ten reasons why Tom from ‘Succession’ and I would be best friends

Hey Hoot readers! I’m Zach and this is my first article for The Hoot. To begin my time writing for the art’s section, I thought I’d write about my favorite show, “Succession.” If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it, as it’s a truly riveting dramedy about money and power in America. It centers […]
