Special guest star, managing editor and real-life princess Ellie Albin: I strongly believe “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” — when it comes out — will remind the world of the musical prowess Taylor Swift honed at an early age. Not only is it her most underrated album, but it was basically a blueprint for “Red.” I know she said she was “happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time” on 2012’s “Red” — which was achieved through the use of multiple genres and balancing both intensely emotional and bubbly lyrics — but in 2010? She used rock and pop and punk and country and twang and heartland and heartbreak and ballads and revenge and devastation and nostalgia and wonder and enchantment and wedding crashing and last kisses and dragons and bashing critics to create a coming-of-age masterpiece. Is there a more balanced album in her catalogue? Nope. It is easily a sonic and lyrical equal to “Red,” which is sometimes considered her best.

Guest star, managing editor and (possibly) divine being, Ellie Albin: As the NTT IndyCar Series heads to Long Beach, California this weekend, keep in mind that you’re watching the best racing series in the world. Yeah, Formula 1 may be the most popular — and I can say this because I watch both series — but where IndyCar is a rollicking rock song with unexpected key and time signature changes, Formula 1 is a squeaky-clean pop bop with autotune. Do I love both? I do. But one is clearly more interesting, more unexpected and more demanding of its audience.

Danny William: “Everything Everywhere All at Once” completely deserved its seven Oscar wins. It was easily one of the most emotionally impactful and creative films of the last year. While I enjoyed many of the films from 2022, I am extremely happy that it ended up winning so much. Absolute sweep.

Sanjana Jairam: I will be using my spring break to spring back to life. More of being a goof and spending my afternoons daydreaming, going where the road takes me. If I were to go on a vacation it would be to find hidden places with historical significance, like the prohibition era jazz clubs or laundromats with pinball machines.

Leila Faraday: “Big Little Lies” whisks me away to the magical world of Monterey, California — equipped with elementary school mom conflict, range rovers, ugly marriages, fake philanthropic jobs and some dark secrets. The stacked cast and incredible performances from every actor against the beautiful pacific backdrop and all-too-realistic drama of being the parent of an 8-year-old future tech startup owner make this one of the best shows I have ever watched.

Danny William: Modern-day political campaigning seriously sucks. Stop with the meaningless speeches. Can we bring back William Henry Harrison’s awesome advertising campaign of rolling a massive ball for hundreds of miles to promote himself? If someone came through my town with a ball covered in campaign slogans, I would probably end up voting for them. (The band They Might Be Giants also covered one of Harrison’s amazing campaign songs, which mentions the ball.)

Danny William: Romantic love is valued far too much in our society. Though it’s great to find a romantic partner who you can share your life with, throwing away your friends and family to find that perfect someone will ultimately leave you lonelier than ever.
