Sometimes, life gets boring when you listen to the same music on repeat. Do you also feel like you struggle to find a show or movie to watch when you’re bored? I feel this way, too. This is why I’ve started a new series called “Recommendation of the Week,” where I will share three entertainment recommendations from a Northwood student. This week’s inaugural recommender is Colton Cushman ‘24.
Colton is a junior in the Northwood Outing Club (NOC). I asked him to share a song, TV show, and movie, and here’s what he had to say:
Joy, by for KING & COUNTRY (Song)
“I really like this song,” he said. “A family member showed it to me, and I’m glad they did because I’ve been listening to it a lot, and because of that, it makes me think of home,” Cushman said.
Eureka (2006) (TV show)
“This is my favorite TV show because it’s sci-fi and interesting to me. I really like the sci-fi/fantasy genre because you’re put into a universe that’s not your own, and it’s just exciting,” he said.
Eureka is about a town post-WWII where all the world’s geniuses get relocated to a small town in the Pacific Northwest. The protagonist is a U.S. Marshal, and it’s up to him to save the day when the geniuses unleash a scientific creation on the world.
Lord of the Rings (2001) (movie)
“I like this movie a lot because it’s based on my favorite book, and it takes after the book well, which some movies don’t do well,” he explained.
The Lord of the Rings is an epic fiction trilogy and is one of the most famous books and film series of all time.
