The average person will indulge in 4,500 calories during Thanksgiving dinner, dessert and snacks.

The longest beard grown was recorded at 8 feet and 2.5 inches long. It would take 197 No Shave Novembers to grow that much hair.

This Thanksgiving will be the 396th Thanksgiving celebrated since the initial pilgrim feast.

Every year, 46 million turkeys are consumed on Thanksgiving in the U.S. That’s almost 6.5 times the population of Arizona.

The first Thanksgiving consisted of 53 pilgrims and approximately 90 Native Americans.

Last year, 153 million people participated in Black Friday shopping, either online or in stores.

For all the peanut butter lovers out there who eat peanut butter by the jar, November is your month of celebration. Eating an 18-oz. jar of peanut butter is the equivalent of eating about 850 peanuts.

As of 2015, there were 18.8 million military veterans in the U.S.

STUDENT LIFE 11 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT…

HOW TO GET THROUGH THANKSGIVING WITH YOUR FAMILY CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

T

hanksgiving is the perfect time for families to come together and celebrate their blessings with a carb-loaded meal and a full day of shopping. It should be easy, but with a number of uncomfortable topics on the table – politics, relationships, that tattoo

you got in Mexico last summer – you might find you’re tolerating the fam more than talking to them this season. Tackle your family head-on with these holiday survival suggestions.

ALL EARS

EAT TILL YOU CAN’T NO MO’

SHHH…

ADOPT A CHILD

Rule out all possible conversations by telling family members you’re taking a vow of silence for political reasons. While you can easily dodge your grandpa’s conversations about the stock market, you’re going to have to find a way to ask him to pass the peas on your own.

For some reason, adults love babies. Snag a toddler or newborn and your family is sure to spend the night playing with the infant and not with your emotions – for once.

Peek-a-boo, anyone?

5

If you’re lucky enough to work at a movie theater, fast food restaurant or grocery store, chances are there are Thanksgiving shifts that need filling. Volunteer to go in and make some extra money during would-be family dining hours.

Nothing says the holidays like capitalism!

Invest in a pair of earplugs to block out annoying dinner conversations.

You can stop by your neighborhood Target or head straight to Home Depot if you’ve got a loud-mouthed uncle and need something a little more industrial-sized.

10 TV TRICKS

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 16, 2017

If you’re stationed in a prime TV-watching position, just grab the remote and turn on some CNN or Fox News. No grandparent can resist the urge to spout off about their political views, guaranteeing you at least a 30-minute nap.

9 ONE TEQUILA, TWO TEQUILA

Get your cousins involved and start a drinking game. When the turkey is burnt, take a shot.

When your aunt asks if you have a girlfriend – again – take a shot. Be careful how far you take it, though — you’ll want to be 4 conscious for that pumpkin pie.

How can you set the table, stuff the turkey or entertain your nephew if you’re still eating?

Try the nonstop food funneling technique to avoid chores, unpleasant conversations and healthy coping mechanisms.

7 SHAKE IT OFF Avoid questions about your grades, dating life and future career by putting all the attention on your siblings. Did your sis drop a bikini photo last spring break? What about your big bro changing his major for the fifth time? Don’t be afraid to pull out the receipts this holiday season.

FUN-DRAISE Consider charging your family a flat general admission fee for attending your Thanksgiving.

A dollar or ten from every family member and you’re covered for at least half a semester’s worth of Chipotle.

TO KEEP YOUR ROOM FESTIVE FOR FALL

NICOLE HERNANDEZ • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 16, 2017

6

There are two types of people in this world: those who worship Christmas the moment Halloween ends, and those who savor the reds and yellows of fall until winter solstice. If you are one of the latter, your room’s décor may be the final stand against the wave of Christmas invading every inch of the country. Try out these easy yet stunning DIYs to spice up your living space for the rest of fall.

FRAMED LEAVES WHAT YOU’LL NEED: fall-colored leaves | parchment paper | heavy book | tape | frame of your choice HOW TO DIY: Cut a piece of parchment paper about twice the size of your book.

Take your choice of colorful leaves and place them on one side of the parchment paper. Fold the paper over, making sure the leaves do not bend.

Place the book on top of the folded parchment and let it sit for at least 24 hours. Once properly flattened, tape the leaves to the back of the frame, put the frame together and hang it where desired.

MINI PUMPKIN CANDLE HOLDER WHAT YOU’LL NEED: mini pumpkin | carving tool | tea light candle HOW TO DIY: Use the carving tool to cut out a hole around the stem of the pumpkin. Scrape out the pumpkin guts.

Adjust the size of the hole to fit the candle’s diameter. Put the candle in the pumpkin and light.

SQUASH VASE WHAT YOU’LL NEED: flat-bottomed squash | carving tool | spoon | fall flowers | water HOW TO DIY: Cut the top of the squash off horizontally and use a spoon to hollow out the squash until you reach the seeds. Flip the squash around and hit against a hard surface until all the seeds fall out. Turn the squash upright, put desired flowers in and fill partially with water.

YARN PUMPKIN WHAT YOU’LL NEED: orange yarn | white glue | balloon | brown pipe cleaner | scissors

HOW TO DIY: Cut about 30 two-foot long pieces of yarn and set aside. Pour white glue into a bowl and set aside.

Blow up and tie a balloon about halfway filled, or until it is at its most spherical point. Place a piece of yarn in the bowl of glue, making sure it is fully coated, then remove it and wrap the string around the balloon. Redo this with all but one piece of string, making sure to evenly cover the balloon. Use the last piece of string to tie to the knot of the balloon and hang it to dry for at least 24 hours. Once dry, separate the balloon from the string with your fingers, then use scissors to cut a small hole near the knot of the balloon. Once the balloon is deflated, pull it out between the string.

Wind the pipe cleaner into a small, stem-like shape and tuck the end of it into a string at the top of the “pumpkin.”

MONOGRAMMED PUMPKIN WHAT YOU’LL NEED: pumpkin | pencil | letter stencils | wood carving chisel HOW TO DIY: Use a pencil to trace the letters of the monogram onto the pumpkin’s flattest side. Scrape away the

darker layer of skin from the pumpkin in the shape of the letters you outlined.

Continue scraping until the monogram is noticeably set inside the outer wall of the pumpkin. Do not shave away enough to break through the walls.

FESTIVE CANDLE HOLDER WHAT YOU’LL NEED: clear glass cylinder | stand-alone candle | filling of your choice HOW TO DIY: Place the candle in the clear glass holder and fill with your choice of fall-themed items. Some ideas for fillers include candy corn, popcorn kernels, pumpkin seeds, red and orange beads, etc. CT

FRIENDS, FOOD & FUN 9 DO’S AND DON’TS OF HOSTING A LIT FRIENDSGIVING PARTY NICOLE HERNANDEZ • COLLEGE TIMES

T

hanksgiving is a day built around gratitude for the aspects of life that we typically take for granted. If life is a pumpkin pie, friends can quickly become the THE FOOD DO make it a potluck.

DON’T forget to determine who is bringing what, so you don’t end up with five cans of cranberry sauce and no green beans (OK, maybe no green beans wouldn’t be the end of the world, but you get the point).

-ORDO order and pick up a large pre-made Thanksgiving meal from a restaurant so that everything is done and delicious.

DON’T forget to split the price of the dinner so that you aren’t stuck paying for everyone’s meals.

BUT EITHER WAY…

last slice forgotten in the back of the fridge when life gets hectic. Here are some do’s and don’ts for hosting the perfect Friendsgiving to thank those slices of pie that mean so much.

DO plan, strategize, organize, develop… do everything you can to prepare so that nobody forgets the turkey — or worse — the dessert.

DON’T be that friend who brings just a bag of chips to the party. That’s just not Friendsgiving-esque.

THE PEOPLE DO invite your squad, inner circle, crew, posse, etc., aka all those people who gel so well you could turn a calculus class into a party.

DON’T bring the new BF that nobody knows to the celebration. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you really like him, but that doesn’t mean your friends do just yet. Give it time.

DO be inclusive. The day is about thanking all the people who brighten every day.

DON’T invite those sworn frenemies who would passive-aggressively stare each other down across the table.

Nobody needs that drama alongside their mashed potatoes.

THE ENTERTAINMENT DO bring that dusty set of Uno cards from the back of your closet.

DON’T let that set of cards rip apart your friendships (which is kind of impossible to do, but at least try to be civil).

DO have a movie set up and ready to watch. Or have a few in mind and let the group vote.

DON’T let the entire group make a movie decision together, because a movie will never get started.

THE MUSIC DO put together a playlist before the big dinner.

DON’T let that one friend who loves metal get a hold of the aux cord. That cord is your baby. Keep it close. Always.

DO accept music requests, including throwbacks, newbies and everything in between.

DON’T. Let. Go. Of. The. Cord. Was that already mentioned? Hmm, interesting.

It must be extra important that you keep the aux cord plugged into the pre-made playlist of everyone’s jams that will keep all friends happy while listening, eating and hanging out. CT

IMPROVISE, ADAPT AND OVERCOME FORMER MARINE JOINS BROTHER FOR CIDER CORPS CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

PHOTOS • KIM CARRILLO

Sgt. Jason Duren (L) and his brother, Josh (R) opened Cider Corps in a vintage building in Mesa that once served as a police station.

Jason Duren (above) began experimenting with cider production after returning from Afghanistan.

Cider Corps released its first two ciders in September.

It’s all been a labor of love.

“We started the journey toward the commercial part of it in 2015,” Josh says.

“We basically spent two years going through all the paperwork, looking for a location.”

The brothers, who were raised in Kansas, had the help of Neighborhood Economic Development Company (NEDCO). The organization, dedicated to rebuilding the economic base in Downtown Mesa, saw the importance of having a taproom in the area.

“One of the loan requirements was to be located along the Light Rail in Downtown Mesa,” Jason says.

“We were looking at Tempe or Chandler. Then we started getting phone calls from the city (of Mesa)

saying they really wanted us down here.

That sucked us into Downtown Mesa.”

While most cideries are in orchards, Cider Corps is in an 1800s-era building that was once the 4,500-square-foot Mesa police station. Jason used his degree in sustainable horticulture to develop fermentation techniques for cider. He moved to Arizona originally to obtain a fire science degree and to pole vault for Mesa Community College.

“Being that it was the first of its kind here, it took some extra work to figure out how we had to classify it (since) there aren’t rules about cider in the state,” he says.

Classified as a farm winery, Cider Corps released its first two ciders in September, which are available at Valley

bars and restaurants. The Durens continue to create more styles, while building out the taproom — a space where patrons can honor the sacrifices of veterans, and raise awareness for the challenges they face at home.

“The taproom is the embodiment of Cider Corps’ mission,” says Josh, who earned a degree in graphic design.

“Drink great ciders, honor great sacrifice. We want it to be a platform for veterans to be honored through times of awareness. Giving the community a way to ‘own’ this space with us is huge.”

When Sgt. Jason Duren returned from Afghanistan, he faced the long medical retirement process. He had suffered two traumatic brain injuries from multiple IED blasts and was facing the end of his career.

To keep busy, he and his brother, Josh, began experimenting with cider production. The duo celebrated Veterans Day by opening Cider Corps, a brickand-mortar taproom in downtown Mesa. Their first endeavor was offering juice and coffee before the East Valley Veterans Parade in downtown Mesa on November 11th.

Soon, Cider Corps will open its doors on select days during build out, and the brothers hope to have regular hours in 9 the spring.

ASU IS NO. 1 IN INNOVATION… AGAIN

success & money

SUCCESS & MONEY

NICOLE HERNANDEZ • COLLEGE TIMES

ASU completed a “three-peat” in innovation this year by securing the No. 1 ranking on U.S. News and World Report’s most innovative universities list again.

The No. 1 in innovation ranking has become a common topic amongst students on all four campuses. ASU students never hesitate to showcase their Sun Devil spirit, and the continued ranking has evolved into yet another way for them to flaunt the university’s excellence.

According to the U.S. News and World Report website, the list of most innovative schools was determined by a committee of influential university officials across the country. Each official nominated a list of schools based on their technology, courses, students,

campus life, staff or facilities, and the schools most commonly recognized were formulated into the rankings.

“Our colleagues at colleges and universities around the country are very interested in what we’re doing, and they pay close attention to all that we have been able to achieve,” ASU president Michael Crow says. “They know that all the cool stuff is going on at ASU.” Stanford and MIT secured the rankings just below ASU for the third year in a row as well. Since the list’s initial publication three years ago, the top three schools have kept their innovative rankings without fail.

And ASU faculty isn’t planning on slowing down the innovation anytime soon, in order to keep their coveted No. 1 spot.

“We now know that because of our innovation platform and our innovation culture, we’re just getting started,” Crow says. “Our pace of innovation is not just continuing, it’s accelerating.”

ASU has several initiatives in action that have contributed to their growing success as an innovative university, including the Center for Mindfulness, Compassion and Resilience.

The center is designed to be omnilocational and promote a centered, focused mind during all student and faculty academic interactions. “(The programs) often start with the self. That’s often the very beginning… but that’s not where it ends,” says ASU Chief Well-Being Officer and College of Nursing and Health Innovation Dean Teri Pipe. “When we take care of

ourselves in that way, we can be more compassionate.”

Pipe believes the compassion that is fostered through her programs is especially necessary in the current sociopolitical climate. She hopes her efforts will build a stronger, more empathetic community on ASU campuses, as well as foster innovation.

“I want to make a link between mindfulness and innovation. We are at our most innovative when we can really be clearly centered,” she says. “If we can get out of our distracted mode and into our centered mode, we can truly be innovative.”

This center, along with several other research, arts and technology-based efforts, has brought the university into focus as an innovative community. CT

SPORTS THE MAROON AND GOLD STANDARD

PHOTOS • CASSANDRA TOMEI

Tra Holder has accrued an impressive list of accolades as ASU’s point guard. Now entering his final season, he hopes to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament.

ON THE COURT AND IN THE KITCHEN WITH ASU POINT GUARD TRA HOLDER GREG MACAFEE • COLLEGE TIMES He averaged 27 minutes a game, tallied 115 assists (which ranks second in ASU history for a freshman), shot 70 percent from the free throw line and had nine double-digit scoring efforts in conference play. He also posted a 15-point, eight-assist effort over sixth-ranked Arizona point guard T.J. McConnell, who now plays for the Philadelphia 76ers.

His freshman season was just the launching pad. Since that campaign, he’s improved his points per game, field goal percentage, and his three-point shot percentage every year. His progression throughout his three years as a Sun Devil circles back to that personality trait of never settling and always expecting more out of himself. After two years at the helm of the Sun Devil program, head coach Bobby Hurley has not only noticed the improvement of his senior point guard in several areas of his game, but his willingness to do whatever the team needed.

“Tra has worked on things that we have asked him to work on and has gotten better in areas that we have asked him to,” Hurley says. “He’s always had great instincts on getting into the paint and he’s doing other things to become a complete player.”

During his time at ASU, that ability to get into the paint has allowed Holder to soar up the all-time list of free throws attempted and made in a career. He currently sits second in both categories heading into his senior year. While he attributed some of

his success at the line to his teammates’ ability to shoot the ball, Holder has also pulled a few moves and techniques from great professional players and even a former Sun Devil.

“It makes it easier for me to get into the lane and get fouled and stuff like that,” Holder says. “I watch some of the best players too, like James Harden, who gets fouled a lot, and I try to take some of their strategies too.”

While Holder spends a lot of time perfecting his craft on the court, he’s also found a way to, at times, get away from the game. If you ask teammates, like Shannon Evans, they may not call him a chef, but Holder knows his way around the kitchen.

“He’s never cooked for us, but I heard he’s pretty decent at cooking pasta,” Evans says. “I’m not gonna call him a chef or anything though.”

Holder says he makes a pretty good shrimp scampi and started having an interest in cooking from watching his mother when he was young. When he makes a visit to the grocery store, he may give his mom a call to ask her a couple questions about something he is making, but he also learns from watching cooking shows. But he doesn’t just watch the shows to learn how to cook.

“The ones I watch are fun; they aren’t boring,” Holder says. “And you get to learn about other cultures and learn about different ways of cooking and I think that’s just how I developed my passion.”

Along with cooking, Holder has always had an interest in film and loves to watch movies. While some of his favorite actors are Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise and Leonardo Dicaprio, Holder says he watches all sorts of movies.

He added that he’s always at the theater, often catching two or three new movies every two weeks.

“I have just always liked movies because it kinda takes you out of the real world for a couple of hours, so I always gravitated towards that,” Holder says.

Along with his interests in cooking and film, the 1,000-point scorer for ASU has always had his family right by his side. Just like any parents, they helped him move in when he was a freshman and Rodgers returns to Tempe regularly to watch Holder play at Wells Fargo Arena. In fact, Holder had trouble remembering the last time his mom missed a game.

“It’s kinda like that with my dad, too,” Holder says. “They are great, supporting people and if I ever need anything, I know they’re always there for me. Honestly, I’m just glad to have both of my parents.”

With his final college season underway, Holder has his eyes on the prize of getting into the NCAA tournament. But while he works towards that, it’s impossible to ignore his impact on and off the court. CT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 16, 2017

When you think of ASU point guard Tra Holder, you probably think of the basketball player who dons number 0 as he runs up and down the court at Wells Fargo arena in Tempe.

And rightfully so.

He’s second on the all-time list of free throws made and free throws attempted.

He’s a 1,000-point scorer heading into his senior season and in his ASU career, he has 20 games in which he’s scored 20 points.

But all of those accolades on the court can be attributed to his work off of it and the people who have supported him.

“He is a hard worker and it’s always been basketball for him,” says his mother Charee Rodgers. “Whenever he had the opportunity, after he did homework or he studied or whatever else he had to do, he just practiced basketball.”

Holder says his hard-working mentality came from both his mother and his father, Tony. Growing up in Los Angeles, Holder says his dad had a strong influence on him.

He also knew he had dreams of excelling in basketball so he always kept his nose to the grindstone.

The 6-foot-1 senior point guard played high school basketball at Brentwood School in L.A., where he averaged 22 points and seven rebounds per game during his senior season as an Eagle. He was ranked the 132nd-best player in the nation, according to Rivals.com, a high school recruiting site.

During his freshman season at ASU in 2014-2015, he lived up to expectations.

HE MUST BE DREAMING THE MAINE’S JOHN O’CALLAGHAN HAS NIGHTMARES ABOUT LOCAL SHOWS CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | NOVEMBER 16, 2017

18

The Maine’s John O’Callaghan looks down and runs his hand through his hair.

“I had a really bizarre dream about playing a hometown show last night,” O’Callaghan says at SanTan Brewing Company in Chandler. “I’ve had a few dreams about this: My teeth are falling out. I’m sure there’s some psychologist out there who can tell me what that means. Usually it happens on stage in front of a lot of people.”

He looks up and chuckles: “Hopefully that doesn’t happen.”

Arizona-based The Maine returns home to play The Van Buren on Wednesday, November 22, around the band’s 10th anniversary.

“It doesn’t feel that long,” says O’Callaghan, who grew up in Ahwatukee and Chandler, where he still resides. “It’s part of our DNA now.

It’s what we do. We don’t take it lightly,

either. It seems like second nature.

“It’s hard to have perspective on the whole thing. We’re still in the thick of it, and still just as excited as when we started it. It’s still fun.”

O’Callaghan says it’s because he and his bandmates are on the same page.

“I think we all still want the same thing,” he says. “What it is, really — I don’t know. Most of it is we want to play music. We want to be in a band.

We don’t want this to fizzle and fade away.”

Six albums in — with the latest being Lovely Little Lonely, released in April — The Maine isn’t close to slowing down.

It recently released the video for the collection’s third single, “How Do You Feel?”

Directed by Tucker Audie, the video uses contrasting colors, creating a retro vibe.

“This video was inspired by both

The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and The Animals’ video for ‘House of The Rising Sun,’” O’Callaghan says.

“The weirdo 8mm vibe and trippy edits were all an homage to the early psych movement, and for me, helped make the performance aspect of the video more interesting visually.”

O’Callaghan adds he’s not into performance videos, unless they’re done creatively.

“I like the more cinematic style,” he says. “Performance videos, to me, felt like an easy way out. There aren’t plugged-in guitars, no mics. Nothing’s actually real. I’ve warmed up to them, obviously.”

Formerly signed to Warner Bros., The Maine is on the U.S. leg of its tour, which wraps up December 16 in New Jersey.

The Australian portion kicks off January 30. In between those dates, the band will move into Flying Blanket Recording in

Mesa to work on new songs.

O’Callaghan has been fronting The Maine since his late teens. It’s really all that he knows, but he’s quick to add music wasn’t part of his dream.

“I just kind of fell into it,” he says. “I guess I’m still falling. It feels nice.

“But I don’t think I had a dream. I was going to college and just kind of going through the motions. My parents were paying for it. I thought this was what we did. I didn’t do well the first year in college. When that summer came around, I told them I was going on tour.

I didn’t need money. We were going to eat (crappy) food for three months and sleep on floors. Times have changed.”

CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE FALL OUT BOY EVOLVES ON FORTHCOMING ALBUM CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES “We can put on the exact show that we want to put on,” says Wentz, 38.

“I’m excited about that. Blackbear and Jaden Smith are going to open the tour.

It’s something that’s fresh and different.”

Fall Out Boy is celebrating the champions out there by inviting fans to post a video or photo on Instagram with #FOBChampion to nominate someone who is making a difference in their communities to be chosen as the #FOBChampion of their local tour date.

Each city’s winner will receive tickets to their local Mania show, be acknowledged from the stage and honored during the set, along with a shout out on the band’s Instagram. In addition, a monetary donation will be made in the winner’s name to the charity of their choice via the Fall Out Boy Fund. For details, visit championofthemaniatour. com.

Wentz says it’s easy for bands to say, “The world is a f**cked-up place. But execution is such a big part of it.

“It’s great to have thoughts, but it’s super important, if you’re going to do that, execute that. This is our small attempt to move the needle and actually contribute to people who are going out, doing good for other people, for other causes.”

He goes back to Mania, a collection he calls a gutsy move.

“It was a blessing that Take This to Your Grave was an underground record,” he says. “The next record, we could do something different. After that, we wanted to do something different, but the label said it might be a career-ender for us.”

That was engrained in the band.

drummer Andy Hurley.

Wentz admits it’s a little unsettling to know fans will record the new songs with their phones. “Your phone isn’t a studio recording,” he says. “That’s not how it really sounds. It changes night to night. In some ways, it’s a relief to put something out to the world.”

Fall Out Boy w/blackbear and Jaden Smith, Talking Stick Resort Arena, 201 E. Jefferson Street, Phoenix, 1.800.745.3000, talkingstickresortarena.com, 7 p.m. Saturday, November 18, $25.75-$65.75.

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz is proud of the band’s evolution — especially on its new album, Mania, which is due out January 19.

The song “Young and Menace” surprised fans with its electronic leanings, but Wentz says the change was necessary.

“I think ‘Young and Menace’ was definitely meant to be a palate cleanse — a hard reset,” Wentz says. “Beyond that, ‘Champion’ is a song that felt of the moment. It felt in the wheelhouse, thematically, of what Fall Out Boy has done. ‘The Real Ones’ really wasn’t a single. The time we live in, musicians put out music and whatever people latch on to becomes whatever.”

“The Real Ones” began organically, with the album’s producer playing around with different piano ideas.

Wentz recalls he said, “This is the perfect anthemic sound.” Fall Out Boy, he adds, set out to write a love song to it.

“It’s a strange perspective for a love song,” he says. “I think of the little neuroses when I think about love. The best fit for friendships or relationships are when the neuroses line up.”

Fans can hear a sampling of the new songs when Fall Out Boy plays Talking Stick Resort Arena on Saturday, November 18. Like Fall Out Boy’s music, the show is a revamp of previous tours.

We’re having completely different staging than we’ve done before,” he says. “Obviously the setlist is going to be different. There will be three or four new songs from our album, Mania, that will be out in January.”

He’s excited to play indoors because the band can control the setting more than in amphitheater gigs.

Wentz explains it can be dangerous, because fans fall in love with a sound. Change can be hard.

“It’s like Metallica cutting their hair, or David Bowie putting Ziggy Stardust away,” Wentz says. “Those are tough for the fans, but instead of change, they adapted.”

Mania is the follow-up album to the band’s platinum-certified sixth studio collection, American Beauty/American Psycho, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 upon its January 2015 release. Hailing from Chicago, Grammy-nominated Fall Out Boy includes Wentz, singer/guitarist Patrick Stump, guitarist Joe Trohman and

4 MOVIES TO DISTRACT YOU DURING THANKSGIVING WEEKEND CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

T

hanksgiving weekend is the perfect time to catch up with your family and bond over baking, football and shared time… but what about when you get sick of ‘em? Thankfully, movie theater employees around the world WHEN DINNER TABLE BANTER STARTS WEARING THIN…

Thor: Ragnarok – rated PG-13 You’d have to have spent the last decade living under a rock to be a stranger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the luscious locks of Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. The latest in the superhero saga brings out a long line of A-listers including Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, as well as Cate Blanchett and

work all weekend long to bring you an endless supply of holiday hits, Oscar-bait flicks, action movies and comedies.

Drag your family out of the house for one of these and get some peace and quiet for a good hour and a half.

Jeff Goldbum. The story finds Thor imprisoned on the other side of the universe in a gladiatorial contest against fellow Avenger, the Hulk.

Meanwhile, his home world of Asgard faces certain death as the all-powerful Hela seeks to destroy all. The movie delivers on promises from past Marvel flicks and is chock-full of adventures, cameos and flashy action sequences. Unlike past ventures, however, this movie plays up its humor and Hemsworth gets to throw a little more of his comedic side into the mix.

The result is a family-fun movie with enough action to keep you going and enough laughs to keep mom from asking you what’s happening every five minutes.

WHEN GRANDMA BUSTS OUT THE TRADITIONAL POSTTURKEY SCRABBLE… A Bad Moms Christmas – rated R Is it too early for a Christmas movie?

When it’s the sequel to the hit comedy that starred Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn, we’ll take it when we can!

The movie bounces back to moms Amy, Kiki and Carla as they prepare for the Super Bowl for moms: Christmas.

Between the shopping, the decorations and the seasonal outings, they find themselves exhausted and are determined to take back the holidays for themselves. It’ll be a challenge, though, when their respective mothers

come to visit. While it doesn’t quite reach the absurd hilarity of the original, the ensemble cast is charming enough as they put their spin on the holidays, from paying Santa a drunk visit in the mall food court to ditching The Nutcracker. If you’re looking for a laugh coupled with the corny concepts of a Christmas movie, this is the right choice for you.

WHEN YOUR MOM BURNS THE STUFFING AND DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT… Lady Bird – rated R The directorial debut by Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, 20th Century Women) throws it back to 2002 for this coming-of-age story, inspired by her real-life experiences at a Catholic school in Sacramento.

Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson.

The name “Lady Bird,” as she tells the audience, is in quotes because it was given to her – by herself.

A selfentitled, selfdetermined and over-the-top senior in high school, Lady Bird recalls the pains of growing up, applying for college and leaving your hometown like no other teen flick has before. The movie bounces between her friendships, including the girls she lies to in order to impress and the ones she binge-

eats sacramental crackers with, to her boyfriends, infamous for their own reasons. The movie’s crux, however, is her relationship with her mother, played by Laurie Metcalf, which may hit close to home as you laugh – and cry – with her from the movie’s start to finish.

WHEN YOU GET STUCK BABYSITTING YOUR YOUNGER COUSINS… Coco – rated PG The latest from Pixar and Disney promises the usual family camaraderie, laughs and adventures as it tackles the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos like no animated film before.

Young Miguel dreams of being an accomplished musician like his great grandfather, but his family’s ban on music prevents them from supporting his passions. One November, during the festive traditional celebration, Miguel

finds himself in the colorful Land of the Dead. Enchanted by the magical world he sees, he must prove his talent as well as make it back to the human world before sundown. Along the way, he meets his ancestors and begins to unlock the story behind his family history. With the same spirit of classics that have come before it, including Toy Story and Finding Dory, Pixar’s latest is charming, visually stunning and smart

enough for all ages to enjoy. CT

THE RIGHT TRACK A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLIST OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE Northwest Phoenix native River Jones started his own record label, River Jones Music, in 2007. When he’s not signing skilled local singers like Courtney Marie Andrews and Dylan Pratt, he’s fine-tuning his own skills as a multi-instrumentalist in his self-titled solo project in Austin, Texas.

From classic ‘60s and ‘70s psych rock to modern art pop, Jones has an eclectic musical appetite. Take a peek at his playlist below.

to pick only one Doors song. They have so many great songs.”

TOP 5 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME

“Sunday Sun,” Beck

(“It’s near impossible to only name 5 songs. I’m listening to Spotify Premium on shuffle and picking favorites.”)

“I remember flying over Chicago on a small bumpy flight. All of the passengers were making noises like they were on a rollercoaster. We were losing altitude and not sure what was happening. I looked over and saw friends reaching across the aisle to hold hands. I put on headphones with this song and closed my eyes. I really thought it was the end.”

“#9 Dream,” John Lennon “I was walking in the woods of New Hampshire with headphones on and had a life moment with this song. I love the symphonic arrangements and everything about the production.”

“You’re Lost Little Girl,” The Doors “Such a dark yet beautiful song. It’s hard

“I recently went through a tough life moment and this was my theme song. A great Austin band. I see Britt around town and he always looks like, ‘Great, River’s gonna wanna take another photo with me.’ It’s hard to pick one Spoon song. Britt Daniel is a great writer.”

“I listen to Spotify Premium all day long.

I have thousands of songs on shuffle at all times. Bjork is playing now. I listen on a phone, studio headphones, Bluetooth, or through a PA system in my living room with monitors. I also listen through my studio monitors on my recording desk. I have tons of vinyl but I love the constant flow of different songwriters that streaming gives.”

“Guilty pleasures are Yngwie Malmsteen’s ‘Far Beyond The Sun’ or Mr. Bungle’s self-titled first record or maybe ‘Our House’ by Madness. So many good guilty pleasures. Shout out to Alanis Morissette’s first record.
