Andy Samberg

Fantastic films rarely have even better sequels — “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania” is no exception to this rule of thumb.

“I’m Thinking of Ending Things” dazzles and dizzies even its most attentive viewer; the film is a psychological feast boasting richly clever construction and riveting performances.

Comedian, actor and Berkeley-local Andy Samberg was the latest guest on “Reading Is Instrumental,” the virtual musical storytime series created by the Berkeley Public Library Foundation and the Berkeley Symphony.

It’s in the surreal contrast between the film’s bombastic tone and its subtly pessimistic undertones that “Palm Springs” shines comedically.

Part of the justification for the show’s first Emmy win for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series in 2017 was a desire to reward its cogent, funny and sobering coverage of the 2016 election. But since that well-deserved win, the show’s political humor has been lacking.

I have been away for just under a week and already feel completely out of touch with my former blasé American culture, but I promise to reach deep within that old part of myself each week and bring forth the best of what it and Berkeley have to offer.

Awards show season has commenced with Sunday’s 76th annual Golden Globe Awards, a time of year full of unfulfilled hopes that somehow or someday the awards givers will meet audience’s expectations. Unfortunately, this year was not an exception to any rule.

The 76th Golden Globes were last night, and considering it was a rather lackluster and mostly puzzling evening, it was pretty much just like any other day here at UC Berkeley.

We at the Clog know that life at UC Berkeley can get pretty serious, so we took it upon ourselves to compile a list of "SNL" sketches to bring some laughs into your dark world of midterms.

Step outside of Scranton and into some other series that take place almost entirely at work.
