Liv Dunleavy and Ronnie Chiu-Lin / THE GATEPOST By Antonio Machado Copy Editor It has been quite a few clock ticks since the world became “obsessulated” with “Wicked” last year, leaving everyone looking toward the western sky, waiting to see what would happen next. Now, 12 tide turns since the Wicked Witch took off, “Wicked: For Good” has been released in theaters, serving as an adaptation of the second act of the stage musical and continuing the story of the first film.

As the first “real robot” mecha anime, “Gundam’s” themes of the dehumanizing effects of war and the price of freedom brought an element of realism to the typically fantastical mecha genre and made it the premium way to tell anti-war stories in the medium of anime. However, “Mobile Suit Gundam” was not always a household name. In

While this is always recognized as a time of year to give thanks and relax with friends and family, the holidays can be a stressful and worrisome time for many people.  Over the last month, food insecurity has dominated news coverage and continued to weigh on many people’s minds in the wake of the record-breaking 43-day government shutdown.

By Owen Glancy Arts & Features Editor This past summer saw the release of acclaimed director Wes Anderson’s latest feature film, “The Phoenician Scheme.” While many were excited, many more were skeptical. Anderson’s latest works, specifically “The French Dispatch” and “Asteroid City” were divisive even amongst Anderson fans with the main criticism levied against them being that they leaned too far into style and left behind substance. While I personally don’t agree with tha

By Kate Norrish Staff Writer If you’ve heard of this book, you likely have some thoughts right now. Love it or hate it, I think it’s worth the reading experience. “The Children of Captain Grant” - sometimes translated under the title “In Search of The Castaways” - was published serially between 1863 and 1864. It was written during an odd time to say the least. British colonialism was in full force, the Emancipation Proclamation in America had just come into law, and that’s
