Because this is, after all, a student-run college newspaper, our esteemed Layout Design Editor and I have compiled a list of the best works in film and television pertaining to every single major offered at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Take a look at part one of our list and see if our couch potato tastes are as bad as you, undoubtedly, expect them to be.
DISCLAIMER: Very little order, and even less, organization were used in the creation of this list. Out of respect for our readers, we cannot promise the same will not be true for forthcoming parts two and three. Thank you!
