85°C Bakery Cafe started with a simple vision; allowing all of the joys of a luxury bakery, but without the cost. Founder. Cheng-Hsueh Wu found in 2003 how joyful a good coffee or baked good could be to somebody. He wanted to make this enjoyable experience...

‘Solo Leveling’: quick but exciting

Jason Ryer, Staff Writer | April 7, 2025

“Solo Leveling” season 2 is interesting to review. The series picks up shortly after the first season and to a point respects the viewer’s time. The cut content can take away from the experience, though, if someone has read the comics and novels....

 Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken sign

Dallas’ best chicken tenders?

Taylor Norton & Jillian Hunter, Staff Writers | April 7, 2025

Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken is known to pack a flavorful punch in its crispy fried chicken. Originally started with owner Joe Dion in 1976 in California, this restaurant chain is still seeing success to this day. Dion spent many years experimenting...

Taylor Norton and Jillian Hunter | February 4, 2025
Bigdásh is a buzzing hotspot for your favorite Middle Eastern desserts. This spot has been popular for some time among Richland students, thanks to its convenient proximity to the school, but it has...
Jason Patric and Sylvester Stallone in "Armor."

‘Armor’: Action heroes play villains but miss mark

Ricky Miller, Entertainment Editor | December 12, 2024
I am a bit quirky.  I don’t like seeing my action heroes star in the antagonist role. In the action-thriller “Armor,” Academy Award-winner Sylvester Stallone (“Rocky,” “Tulsa King”) is a baddie. The lead actor in this actioner is not Stallone, but underrated Jason Patric. He portrays James Broody, an armored car driver headed for a deadly confrontation. “Armor” is set in Dallas, but don’t look for any familiar landmarks. It was shot in Mississippi. Director Justin Routt (“The Test”) and screenwriters Cory Todd...

Metaphor ReFantazio: Atlus’ bold new fantasy

Jason Ryer, Staff Writer | December 10, 2024
“Metaphor Re: Fantazio” is a fantasy game that is made once every few console eras. The development began shortly after Persona 5 and is heavily influenced culture and politics around the modern era. Politics out of the way first there are two very dynamic figureheads that are blatantly seen in the game to showcase any form of leadership that can be given to the winner of the Crown championship. Authoritarian, Dictatorship, monarchy, dystopia, utopia, ruled by religion, etc. the number of...

‘Moana 2’: A wave of disappointment

Ricky Miller, Entertainment Editor | December 10, 2024
“Moana 2” might be making the big bucks, but, honestly, the sequel to the 2016 computer-animated family fantasy doesn’t deserve any praise or recognition.  How this sequel found an audience is beyond me.  It is really that bad. The writing, for all intents and purposes, is just subpar.  My knowledge of movies helps us out quite a bit.  I used to work at a video store.  At the time, one of the biggest moneymakers were direct-to-video sequels, especially from the Disney Corporation, which is now...
Enjoying ‘Wicked’: Witchcraft, wonder and wow

Enjoying ‘Wicked’: Witchcraft, wonder and wow

Ricky Miller, Entertainment Editor | December 10, 2024
I probably don’t like “Wicked” as much as everyone else does, but it was fun. As readers may know, I’m not the biggest fan of musicals. When there’s despair and disdain in the world, I don’t want singing and dancing shoved down my gullet like a child. “Wicked,” though, is a very engaging movie all around. Music is not my wheelhouse, however. I just don’t like musicals, period. I took one for the team, settling in to watch the big-screen version of this Broadway sensation. I didn’t want to be involved, but I got...
Awayuki Kokorone voiced by Ayane Sakurain “VTuber Legend.”

Behind the ‘VTuber Legend’

Jason Ryer, Staff Writer | December 10, 2024
VTuber Legend is an anime about a light novel about VTuber culture. It is an interesting take on the media as it showcases various aspects of VTuber culture. Some things that stand out are skits mommy mommy-daughter culture and much more. The show starts off with the main character Awayuki is a failing third-generation, the generation in which VTubers premiere until they graduate, VTuber at LiveOn. One night she opens up a Strong Zero beverage and forgets to cut her feed. The entire...
