Good morning Broh,
It’s Tuesday. Hope I didn’t catch you aestheticizing and crystallizing the imagined possibility of knowledge, instead of reaching for the tangible knowledge in front of you. Don’t let your figs rot on the tree broh — choose to read what we have for ya.
Top story is the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival coming to our bi-city area! Also on arts, a review of “The Drama” movie, and the Acorn Bookshop is opening up. On opinions, a column on the drinking age, and on city, researchers are looking into stormwater runoff.
Seize the moment and juice up on current events. It’s worth it broh.
Buenas,
Sam Hill | Managing Editor | [email protected]

Catch a movie and a vibe at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival
by Abbey Mulcahy | A&E Reporter | Published April 6, 2026
A true movie theater experience comprises three things: a bucket of buttery popcorn balanced precariously on your lap, candy wrappers crinkling as you extract the contraband from your bag and overhead lights dimming until the mood is just right.
As Nicole Kidman reminds us in her famous AMC monologue: “We come to this place for magic.”
That movie magic is palpable at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival, MSPIFF. Run mostly out of The Main Cinema, the 12-day festival connects audiences and filmmakers from around the world through films, panels and parties.
