In a dimly lit Komedia in the North Laine, Ella Al-Shamahi starts her live show off-stage with an enticing prologue, immediately drawing the audience into of humanity’s most profound stories. What follows is a marvellous lecture on the movement of humans across the globe, alongside an exploration of her life from a creationist to a […] The post Mankind’s Epic Journey: ‘Human’ Live with Ella Al-Shamahi first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
Only blissful ignorance could shield you from what film nerds are describing as the “sequel epidemic”. Year after year, the biggest media conglomerates hold conventions announcing the reprises of long-standing (and often concluded!) franchises such as Jurassic Park and Toy Story, while cinephiles grow hungrier and hungrier for original stories. Perhaps the sequel resurgence could […] The post A Critique of Sequels: Let Dead Things Lie first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
Whilst walking the colourful streets of Brighton, you may have noticed art pieces around on top of shops, on spare spaces of the wall, or in alleys between buildings. If you have the time, wander down Trafalgar Lane, Kings Place or Gloucester Road, where you’ll see art by SNUB23, whose art often features robots using […] The post The Art Around.

As of 2025, Pride month and all branding associated have come to be synonymous with brand logos turning into rainbows overnight, and just as quickly reverting to the originals as soon as the clocks strike July 1st. Floats and specially branded merchandise, rounding off the attempts of companies and governments to appear as strong an […] The post Pride – Protest or Party? first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
Former residents of Norwich House have filed a formal group complaint against the University of Sussex, alleging months of unsafe, unsanitary and disruptive living conditions, and claiming they received a dismissive and, at times, prejudiced response from the University. The complaint, coordinated and submitted by the Students’ Union (SU), requests £2,000 in compensation for each […] The post Norwich House Students Demand Compensation Over “Unacceptable” Conditions first appeared o...| The Badger
Have you seen this man? For those fortunate enough to have spent the summer in Brighton, you’ve likely come across a young man named Ollie Sabatelli. Ollie, better known by his online handle “ollieknowinghim”, has gained some traction over the last year for his polarising, outspoken declaration of propositions from the Christian Bible. From London […] The post THE ISSUE OF STREET PREACHERS and NOISE POLLUTION first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
The day I saw Gans, the wind was biting and the rain was indecisive, so to hide for a while in the sanctuary under the station was a relief. There, the Radio Six crowd were hanging around, grabbing drinks and waiting to go through the black curtains. They, too, must have heard the talk surrounding […] The post Good for the Soul: Gans Gig Review first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
There is a particular kind of woman who appears, again and again, in literature: beautiful, untameable, and mad. She is Bertha in Jane Eyre, confined to an attic. She is Ophelia, floating dead in a river. She is Esther Greenwood in The Bell Jar, sedated into silence. She is unnamed in The Yellow Wallpaper, hallucinating a woman crawling […] The post Mad Women and the Legacy of Female ‘Insanity’ in Literature first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
A Local and National Trend England flags started appearing in Brighton near the end of last month, visible along the seafront, attached to lampposts, outside the Churchill Square shopping centre, and on main roads. The council has since removed a large amount, stating that the flags are in breach of health and safety guidelines. The […] The post England Flags: Patriotic or Racist? first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
There is a crisis of information surrounding the female body. Poor sex education during childhood and adolescence keeps us in the dark about our anatomy, hormones and sexual health. Fashion, beauty and social media skew our idea of what our bodies “ought” to look like. There is no wonder women and those assigned female at […] The post Dear Period Tracking Apps: Stop Paywalling Our Cycles first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
Far too many book-to-movie adaptations have left me convinced that filmmakers simply read the Wikipedia summary of the novel and run with it. As a bookworm, it can be disheartening and frustrating to see my favourite books become movies that fail to capture the greatness of the story.
