OH musical crash lands in the auditorium tonight
OH’s spring musical has returned, showing “Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812” on the evenings of April 16, 17, and 18. All showings will take place at 7 pm on the stated days, with an additional showing on April 18 at 2 pm. “It’s a hard show to do, but I think it shows the students that if they can do this, they can do anything,“ said Director Katherine Conant. The show’s script consists of the first 70 pages of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. It features many music types, offering a wide variety that
Born again: The legacy of Daredevil
Matt Murdock has reclaimed the dark, rain-slicked streets of Hell’s Kitchen. With the March 2026 premiere of "Daredevil: Born Again Season 2," the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally delivering on a long-standing promise to its most dedicated fans: a true return to form. This isn't the sanitized version seen in recent guest appearances; it’s a full-blooded return to the bone-crunching realism of the original Netflix era, marking a major tonal shift for Disney+ toward more mature, grounded storytelling. “The TV-MA rating definitely moves the needle on the spectrum closer to a Daredevil comic book vibe than a usual MCU vibe," said OH senior Joseph Shaw. "It still has its MCU influence in some of the humor, and it references outside MCU happenings."
Invincible: The rise of Thragg and the Viltrumite War
"Invincible," which originated as a comic series written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, has surged to the top of the superhero zeitgeist after receiving an animated show on Amazon Prime Video on Mar. 21, 2021. “I have loved the show Invincible so far,” OH senior Dylan Matjea said. “It has taken the superhero trope and basically flipped it over its head. It’s a huge series.” "Invincible" dumbfounded audiences with its mature storytelling, elaborate plotting, and (most of all) massive amounts of animated gore. It was a much-needed shock to the system that still exerts significant cultural influence.
Verbinski’s ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’ is already 2026’s most bewildering movie
Despite being less than two months into the year, I feel confident in crowning Gore Verbinski’s "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die" as the most bewildering film of 2026. However, I’m not sure the movie’s absurdist nature ultimately helps or hurts its thematic messaging. “It’s a wild movie for sure, but with all the events that took place within the movie, I was like, ‘whoa,’” OH alumni Jack Beaudette said. "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die" is a sci‑fi action‑comedy that follows a "Man from the Future" who arrives at a Los Angeles diner to take its patrons hostage. The traveler must recruit a specific combination of ordinary people to join him on a frantic quest to save the world from a rogue artificial intelligence.
YouTuber ‘Markiplier’ makes waves with ‘Iron Lung’
YouTuber and internet personality Mark Fishbach (aka Markiplier), based on the 2022 video game by David Szymanski, opened in over 4,000 screens worldwide. Set in a post-apocalyptic future after "The Quiet Rapture” causes all stars and habitable planets to vanish, convict Simon (Mark Fischbach) is sentenced to pilot a small submarine, the “Iron Lung,” through a blood ocean on a desolate moon. As he explores, he uncovers a way to save humanity and the terrifying truth behind its destruction. “I thought it would be kinda cheesy with all of this coming from a YouTuber, but it was a very entertaining movie, and I would watch it again,” said OH senior Grady Sobotka
