'Big Mouth' Is Killing It

The brainchild of Nick Kroll and many other talented people, was renewed for a third season coming out in fall 2019.

'Big Mouth' Is Killing It

A raunchy cartoon about pubescent pre-teens doesn't sound comfortable and entertaining, but Nick Kroll, along with other fantastic writers, animators, and comedians, has made it a messy success.

"Big Mouth," if it hasn't come to your attention quite yet, is a Netflix cartoon about a group of pre-teens, in 6th or 7th grade, who are struggling through puberty and other various hilarity. Finishing up its second season during the fall of 2018, its popularity has skyrocketed. Season 3 was announced in mid-November, and will come out in late 2019.

I knew I would love this show as soon as I heard about it from my roommate last year, when she explained that she couldn't get through the first episode because of how raunchy it was. Since I'm a big fan of other newer adult cartoons, like "Rick and Morty" and others, I found her description interesting.

What really hooked me though wasn't the aspect of watching a new dirty Netflix show, but that Nick Kroll wrote the show, and John Mulaney starred as one of the main characters.

My love for Kroll and Mulaney's work, from "Oh, Hello" to Mulaney's individual comedy shows and their other projects together, is great. As soon as I saw their names in the intro animation, I knew "Big Mouth" wouldn't be exempt from my admiration.

I was right.

"Big Mouth" tackles the difficulties and hilarities of being in middle school and going through puberty, while adding witty adult humor and insight on what those rough years taught all of us in the end.

The aspect of the show that I love the most, however, isn't really any of these mentioned; it's that there's now a cartoon that captures exactly what it felt like to go through middle school. I haven't seen any other movies or shows that get it exactly right, but the humor in "Big Mouth" feels so accurate to how I felt at that age as well.

Based on the amount of Halloween costumes I saw this year that featured characters from the show, I think it's doing really well.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where the writers go with the next season, and I hope "Big Mouth" gets to keep coming back for at least 2 or 3 other seasons after the next one. With the upward success of the story so far, it feels like it'll be around for a while longer.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
