Abels, who graduated from Ball State in 2006 with majors in advertising and art, now works as a multimedia artist, with his most high-profile work consisting of several trailers made for popular films such as “I, Tonya,” “La La Land,” and “A Star Is Born.”
We need to step back from our attachment to masculinity (the good and the bad of it) to recognize that there are times when we, as men, need to admit that we aren’t doing the best we can at making the world a better place for other people.
While On the Basis of Sex is based on historical events, many women today still experience the discrimination faced by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The ad, which you can watch here, covers the subject of “toxic masculinity,” the belief that being masculine bleeds into men’s everyday lives and negatively affects themselves and those around them. The ad features scenes of fighting, bullying and sexual harassment while a voice over talked about the history of “boys being boys.” The ad ends on the narrator explaining that showing boys how to act now is the way to improve men’s actions as a whole, then switches up Gillette’s traditional slogan, “the best a man can get,” for the topical “the best a man can be.”
Kevin Hart is the latest example of a high-profile celebrity being 'cancelled' for problematic posts on social media. What should we make of this cultural movement?
In preparation for the highly anticipated release of Kingdom Hearts 3 on December 29, Disney Parks has opened a pop-up shop in their lakefront shopping center Disney Springs. The small store is located in the heart of Disney Springs and features plenty of memorabilia along with a 15-minute demo of the new installment in the franchise. I recently traveled to Orlando around Christmas to visit family and luckily got the chance to experience the store and all it had to offer.
Catch up on 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo' with our reviews of "The Second Mission from the Boss" and "Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze"!
As a huge fan of Starkid Productions, I anxiously anticipated the YouTube release of their newest show, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, for months. I was honestly prepared to be disappointed; after their last show, Firebringer, I wasn’t expecting much. However, this show exceeded my expectations and evoked the infectiously fun and campy feeling of earlier Starkid shows like A Very Potter Musical and Starship.
At the end of the day, 'Vice' does a great job of portraying a man like Dick Cheney even-handedly.
'Welcome to Marwen' is not worth seeing on any level. Impressive animation and strong actors cannot save the terrible script, unlikeable characters, and weird, regressive implications that the film makes.
If you’re a fan of the original, this one is a nice continuation of the first one, especially through the cameos and easter eggs, but overall, it is not actually needed after the first one.
‘Aquaman’ is a big surprise from the DCEU, doing the impossible in making something fairly watchable. The characters are fun, the visuals are stunning, and the action is the most well-directed it has ever been for the franchise.
While 'Bird Box' is competently made, it fails to separate itself from other media with similar premises.
This year had some amazing albums that made us feel some kind of way. Here are Byte's top-reviewed albums for 2018!
'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' is an utterly astounding love letter to and reexamination of the 'Spider-Man' mythos as we know it.
“Narancia’s Aerosmith” is not only one of ‘Vento Aureo’’s best episodes thus far, it’s one of the big stand-outs in the entirety of the ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’ anime.
Did 2018 live up to the hype that last year had in terms of amazing games? Here are our top-reviewed games of the year!
It has been a long year, and one filled with great movies. Check out Byte's top-reviewed films of the year!
'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' is a miracle game that will only happen once every 100 years. Despite a few hiccups here and there, the game manages to far outdo the hype it’s generated since its announcement. The insanely huge roster allows for all sorts of unique match ups. Couple the roster with the World of Light and you’ve got a game that’s easily worth more than the standard $60.
'Persona Dancing: Endless Night’ is a blast for 'Persona' and rhythm fans but is also pretty much just for them. Despite a lack of any sort of musical controller peripheral, the games make great use out of the PS4 controller.
