Since moving to Washington DC, finding a cheap, decent meal is pretty difficult. It is well known that the city offers many different specials throughout the week but most are during happy hour prime time: 4-7pm and I am LUCKY if I step foot in my apartment by 6:45 leaving my opportunity for a good […]
The Netflix Generation
I am a proud member of the “Netflix” generation. The Netflix generation created the act of ‘binge-watching’ rather than waiting once a week for a new episode to begin like some pleb (my sincerest apologies to the generation before me). I can gear up, prepare as if I am about to hibernate for the […]
Remember 2014.4.16
04/16/14 South Korean Sewol ferry disaster took away 304 lives. 250/324 250 out of 324 students from Danwon High School in Ansan, South Korea, drowned in the water. 3 years That’s how long it took to bring a sunken ferry out of the water. Sewol Ferry, a tragedy of hundreds. I remember exactly what I […]
Watch Horror Movies, Master New Cultures!
It, Little Evil, Friend Request, Flatliners, Happy Death Day, Jigsaw… These are some names of horror movies that are coming out soon. Some of you may be thrilled and just can’t wait to watch them. On the other hand, if you’re not a huge fan of horror movies, you may be puzzled about why people […]
Hope for Houston
My name is Lily Austin, and I am one of the recently hired interns for RedEye Post. I am a current resident of Washington D.C. and have been for the past seven days. Before living in Washington D.C. I had lived in Houston, Texas for the last 20 years. The transition of moving from one […]
War of Substance vs Spectacle
Star Wars may have created the modern blockbuster film franchise, however, Planet of the Apes (nine years prior) was truly the first attempt at one. A lubricous concept at first glance, but one which led to a film executed with class, wisdom, warning, and charm. Known most for its unforgettable twist ending, it was written […]
Nostalgia on Screen: The Past is the Future
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. I’m sure this phrase was intentioned to speak to larger issues of war and tragedy and undesirable behavior passed down generations, but when philosopher and cultural critic George Santayana coined it, I wonder if he ever considered that pop culture would be condemned to […]
Spider-Man Comes Home to Marvel
When the Marvel Cinematic Universe logo appeared with an orchestral version of the cheesy 60s Spider-Man cartoon theme, I wasn’t sure what to expect. No other superhero has gone through so many different film iterations since the start of the millennium as Spider-Man. The beloved Sam Rami/Toby Maguire films began the incredibly successful superhero franchise, […]
Media Master
This week the nation celebrated the 4th of July and I got to take part in the biggest celebration of all: Washington, DC. Much like New York City hosts the largest Thanksgiving day parade, as one would imagine the largest 4th of July parade is in the District of Columbia. I wish I could say […]
“Celebrity Sightings”
The other day my friend Brianna and I were walking around DC. We happened to find ourselves around the White House when we were crossing the street and all of a sudden a rather tall and heavily armed man approached us. He told us we were to remain on the sidewalk until further notice. As […]
