Who is Dr. Justin Klassen
This glossy 2022 thriller was adapted from a original short-story set in a too perfect 50's style town, exploring themes of feminism and dark psychology; but the press tour of this movie had us asking more important questions: Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pines?
What is Don't Worry Darling?
Bro, this is a certified White Boy classic. Super easy to chug, tastes like water, and always shows up you're tryna to get nasty at the tailgate. The king of frat parties and my liver fr fr.

Impossible; Quality:2.0 Difficulty:5.0"
Who is Professor Gail Ramirez-Icaza?
Before it was a Dreamworks hit, this 1990 quirky children's book by William Steig introduced us to a story where the orges were even uglier, the donkeys didn't talk so much, and there were exactly zero Smash Mouth hits.

Bro, remember that time the Tri Delt girls were throwing that sick kickback, but I had a Business Calculus exam the next day? Yeah, one of these got me right, energized and buzzed. I did wake up without my pants, though.
What are Four Lokos?
The popularity of this song and its artist makes everyone feel like they're living in a Western Romance or rather knew a guy who wore cowboy boots. From zero to TikTok hero, this song had everyone doing a lot of questionable and uncomfortable line dancing.
What is Austin?
These two fandoms, one about fem-boy personified countries in major world events, the other a sprawling webcomic about trolls, time loops, and Sharpie baths to achieve the perfect grey, dominated much of the cosplay, fan art, and drama of the time. (DAILY DOUBLE)
