Eclipse glasses swapped hands, from student to student, at Tommy Trojan on Monday morning as roughly 300 attendees excitedly prepared to witness the first total solar eclipse to cross the contiguous United States since 2017.

‘Saltburn’ is a twisted exploration of wealth, desire

Nov 16, 2023 | dailytrojan.com | Sanya Verma |Christina Chkarboul

Set in the uncharacteristically sweltering British summer of 2006, writer-director Emerald Fennell’s sophomore black comedy feature “Saltburn” is an intoxicating analysis of the slick, enigmatic world of the English aristocracy and its absurdity in the modern world.
