THE FILMS THAT MADE BETTING UNFORGETTABLE ON SCREEN
Nobody watches a film about wagers for the mechanics of the wager itself.

The market that Onja Bet and…

WHY THE THRILLER MOVIE GENRE KEEPS AUDIENCES HOOKED ACROSS CULTURES
There’s something almost universal about the feeling of suspense. A door creaks open. A character hesitates before answering a phone call. A glance lingers just a second too long.

Theater Review: MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT (Shattered Globe at Theater Wit)
A POST-PANDEMIC RECKONING WITH ISOLATION AND MENTAL HEALTH A moving character study elevated by a nuanced central performance The oddest thing about Kirsten Greenidge’s Morning, Noon, and Night is how fundamentally conventional its construction is.
