Hello Cougars & Cougettes, welcome back to Foresight Entertainment as we bring the future of entertainment to you! And this week we’ve got a doozy of line-up with plenty of new movies, music, and games to brighten up your day and enrich your college experience.

As a quick reminder, we at Harbinger Student Media remind you that entertainment, for all of its thrills and wonders, is always secondary to your educational goals. Although we express the sincerest admiration of the men and women who brighten our day with their talents and inspired performances, no performance will shape your life more than your academic performance. Furthermore, we implore you to always dip deeper than the surface. You’ll find that the things you learn in the classroom MAY have a surprising amount of application outside the class too, so don’t be afraid to learn from the things outside of the classroom too.

So without further ado, let’s get to the entertainment for you!

As always, we begin our week with a look at the new films on demand from local theatres to international streamers like Netflix and Hulu. This week, we have many special features to offer from our very own Willow Knolls while still plenty of on-demand film fixes with Netflix and Hulu:
