Extra, Extra. ‘The Office’ universe expands with ‘The Paper’

“In 2005, a documentary crew started filming at a paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. […] 20 years later, they returned.” 

These few sentences, along with a cameo from Phillis’ husband Bob Vance provide context for “The Paper,” the new series that’s  a spin-off and mockumentary within “The Office” universe. 

“The Paper” follows an ensemble of journalists hoping to revive the magic of their local newspaper, “The Toledo Truth Teller.” Similarly to the real world, people in the show refer to newspapers as a dying industry in the digital age. 

Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), Mare Pritti (Chelsea Frei) and Esmeralda Grand (Sabrina Impacciatore) prove that a little passion is all their company needs. There’s always a deeper story if you, like the main characters, are looking for it. 

Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the creators of “The Office,” “The Paper” faces high expectations with its Sept. 4th release on Peacock. Like any spin-off, “The Paper” is challenged with rekindling the flame of its parent series, while also bringing something new to the table. 

Though it was off to a rocky start, this season did just that. The same deadpan expressions and shaky camera angles returned, alongside “The Office” regular Oscar, this time finding himself in a new workplace.

Offensive humor doesn’t typically land well in the office, but it does on the screen. The very unfiltered depiction of a 9-5 job makes the series relatable. It’s so bad you have to laugh. 

Some of the nods to “The Office” include a theme song that essentially removes the paper-company specific content and replaces them with that of the news room.

In an effort to maintain the quiet, awkward, often inappropriate workplace humor that “The Office” is famous for, “The Paper’s” depiction of a newsroom doesn’t always align with a real-life one, which is chaotic, active, and always moving. 

“The Paper” does accurately portray numerous aspects of a career in journalism and can make for a good watch for someone going down that route. 

It puts light in the irony of how newspapers thrive when times are bad: serial killers, scandals, sob stories. It’s a dramatized depiction of a journalist’s day-to-day life. 

I have to admit, I was hesitant to start the show, like others, due to the expectations “The Office” set for me and the fact that I would inevitably compare the two. 

The characters don’t just feel reminiscent of the faces we know and love, they feel like copy and pasted replacements for “The Office’s” characters, designed to fill the void almost too well. This is particularly true for Esmeralda, the managing editor, who takes on the chaotic role of this company’s Michael Scott. It gets a bit exhausting. 

While this could be laziness in the writer’s room, it could also be just the opposite. It aligns with the idea that every workplace consists of the same types of people: the overstepping boss, the go-getter, the complainer. It adds to the realism and relatability that make it feel like a true workplace docu-series.

A significant appeal of “The Office” was the slow-burn relationship between Pam and Jim. It’s safe to say “The Paper” is looking to fulfill that same audience (wink-wink). 

For the first half of the season, I often found myself bored and feeling like “The Paper” is a failed attempt at duplicating the success of “The Office.” These episodes feel torn between being comedic, inspirational and awkward all at the same time, while never hitting the mark in any of these realms. 

By episode six, however, it gains its voice as a standalone series, as the characters’ dynamics settle and the story sets in motion. 

As both a journalist and a fan of “The Office”, “The Paper” felt familiar – but putting personal biases aside, I felt disconnected to the show for the first few episodes. After giving it a chance, however, I enjoyed it. 

While viewing it for the first time, it’s important to take into consideration that the first season of many shows, including “The Office,” isn’t always a show at its best. Given the mid-season turn around of “The Paper,” I have high hopes for the future of the series.

Lauren Effertz is ready for her first Patio Jams performance

Frost student Lauren Effertz will take the stage on Thursday Sep. 18 for her first Patio Jams performance. Lauren, a junior studying media scoring and production at the Frost School of Music, was inspired from a young age to pursue a creative career and make music that makes people relate to her own personal stories.

Growing up watching the Disney Channel, one of Effertz’s first connections with music came from Bella Thorne and Zendaya’s “Shake It Up!” 

As a kid, she would look up to the characters in the show dreaming of someday being able to put on such performances herself. So from a young age, Lauren was involved not just in singing but also in acting and dance. 

Effertz was drawn to the University of Miami’s school of music because it provided her an opportunity to choose her own path and find out who she wanted to be. At first, she was scared of taking her chances in the risky music industry. She was drawn by fear to study English or psychology. However, she decided to pursue a career in music as it never felt like a chore for her, but rather an exciting opportunity to grow and do what she loves most.

Lauren couldn’t be happier with her decision. She says ensembles are her favorite part about Frost, especially the Sunshine State ensemble which she is a part of. 

Effertz describes her sound as uplifting and energetic. With her music and lyrics,she aspires to create a unique bond with her audience. 

Her music is extremely personal as she frequently writes about her own life and things she has personally gone through. Her ultimate goal is to transmit her own emotions through her lyrics in order to get the listener to relate. 

“Writing about real experiences instead of an overall feeling is an amazing way to convey emotion through music., Effertz said.

Effertz played a blend of country, pop, indie and rock that brought her show to life. Her set list included a mix of her own original pieces such as “For You” and “Better Than Before” as well as some classics like Olivia Rodrigo’s “Favorite Crime” and “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. 

Learn more about Effertz and her music by following her social media. Don’t miss out on starting to follow Effertz now because her career is only going up from here.  

Frost graduate student Anabella Torres Alvarado kicks off family weekend at Patio Jams

Anabella Torres Alvarado brought a unique blend of musical styles to Patio Jams on Friday, Sep. 12 during family weekend. The University of Miami Frost School of Music graduate student has delved into various genres of music throughout her artistic career such as: funk, soul, reggae, and R&B. She brought a mix of all these to her performance.

Raised in Honduras, Torres always knew she wanted to pursue higher education in the United States, and especially in Miami, but limitations led her to Utah where she completed her undergraduate studies. Now, six years later, she’s in the 305.

“Through the live entertainment management program I have had to change my perspective from an artist’s point of view to a venue’s point of view,” Alvarado said. “Which has only helped me grow in my own artistry.” 

She discovered her love for music thanks to her parents and later developed her passion through her involvement in her high school’s dance, theater and band programs. Music quickly became a way for Torres to express herself and tell her story. 

“I have come to realize that when we open to those we love about the struggle of life in general, we are able to walk with each other as we figure out life,” Alvarado said. “I want to use my music as a reflection of that vulnerability and honesty that brings people together”

Torres promises her Friday show willbe like the soundtrack to her artistic journey.  Songs featured in the show included those by artists such as the Bee Gees, Whitney Houston, and Shania Twain. 

Once she graduates Anabella hopes to use her degree as a means for meaningful change. She dreams of opening up a venue for local artists in Honduras to showcase their talent. 

“There are so many incredible musicians and great songwriters back home but there is no place for them to showcase it,” Alvarado said. 

Torres’s performance was an amazing way to start family weekend 2025. She got parents and students singing along to cult classics such as ABBA’s “Mamma Mia” and Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” as well as originals like “Tu Palabra” and “Retrovisorz.”

‘Wednesday’ returns for a wonderfully woeful second season

TikTok’s favorite goth girl is back. Jenna Ortega returned as Wednesday Addams in “Wednesday” season two. 

The Netflix original series took the world by storm in Nov. 2022. Its dance scene went viral on TikTok, making everyone want to channel their inner Wednesday Addams on Halloween. Finishing the season was dreadful because no one knew when the next one was coming.

Now, three years and a writers strike later, “Wednesday” second season has finally arrived, opening the can of worms of newfound mysteries and prophecies. Split into two parts, consisting of four episodes each, this season debuted on Aug. 6th and Sept. 3rd respectively.

It’s the perfect watch for a family movie night. “Wednesday” may be a series, but it possesses the cinematic qualities of a thriller film, never losing the attention of an audience ranging from children to teenagers to adults.

It’s evident that Tim Burton is the man sitting in the director’s chair. Without his cynical, artistic and symmetrical eye, there would be room for boredom. 

He recognizes that every second serves a purpose and progresses the plot, pivoting it into new directions. 

The camera work also adds to the perfection of the series, with balanced composition and seamless pans. What could simply be a scene of Wednesday playing the cello becomes one that serves as the score for another suspenseful scene cross-cut with it.

Jenna Ortega truly embodies Wednesday. She brings the lines to life, but in the lifeless manner that suits the quick-witted, dark character with monotonous delivery and an impressive lack of blinking. It’s all about body language and microexpressions. 

She’s not one to show fear, or confusion with gasps or a dropped jaw, instead with a slightly furrowed eyebrow or wide eye. Though Wednesday is the quirkiest of them all, the other outcasts still have their own unconventional qualities. 

The new addition to their dynamic, a ginger-braided Agnes (Evie Templeton) finds herself in the middle of Wednesday and Enid, a symbol for her place in the show. 

Other returning characters include Marlyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), the ‘90s’ Wednesday, Bianca (Joy Sunday), a siren, and Tyler (Hunter Doohan), a hyde – one of the main villains of the series. Xavier did not return this season following actor Percy Hynes White’s scandal following season one. 

While many aspects of the show impress me, an element that falls short is the editing, which often feels dated. The cartoonish look of the hydes momentarily causes me to detach from the immersion, as everything else feels up to par.

In part one of season two, I found myself bewildered as to why the rest of the Addams had so much screen time. Nothing against them, but as a show titling only one of the Addams, I thought only she would be in the spotlight, like in season one. 

It started to make more sense in part two, as it became clear that one of the themes is the importance of family. The mother-daughter relationship between Wednesday and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a central focus, highlighting the complications that come with Morticia’s desire to protect her daughter, and Wednesday’s unwillingness to open herself up to a protector outside of herself. 

Part of growing up is opening up to trusting and loving your family and community, something Wednesday comes to realize throughout the season. Episode six also emphasizes this through the friendship between Wednesday and Enid, as they are put in each others’ shoes. 

That episode also features the range of Ortega and Myers’ acting, as they find themselves playing characters they don’t usually play, and telling stories that aren’t normally theirs to tell. Their deliveries were seamless and entertaining. 

The most captivating episodes of the season are seven and eight, when we get to the climax. It all comes down to the final two episodes. Everything that leads up to them proves to be worth it through a satisfying ending.

As an orchestrated rendition of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by Eurythmics enchants the closing scenes, laying the path for the next season. Plots are opened, some stories are left unresolved and it’s safe to say audiences will be eagerly coming back for more in “Wednesday” season three.

What University of Miami students should watch this spooky season

As midterms wind down and Halloween draws near, University of Miami students are craving chills, and these upcoming horror releases deliver. From psychological thrillers to supernatural scares, here’s why each of these titles deserves a spot in your late night watchlist.

Him (Sep. 19)

This Jordan Peele produced supernatural horror film blends athletic ambition with creeping dread. Set amid intense mentorship and blood chilling secrets, it’s a unique fusion of psychological terror and the competitive energy familiar to college life. Plus, Marlon Wayans’s presence mixes dark humor with genuine fright. It’s perfect for a dorm room scare session.

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (Sep. 26)

A sequel to the cult home invasion thriller, this film elevates tension with stylish execution from veteran genre filmmaker Renny Harlin. A road trip gone wrong, masked strangers and small town isolation amplify the dread of being hunted with no safe place to turn.

The Long Walk (Sep. 12)

From the director of “The Hunger Games” comes this dystopian survival thriller based on Stephen King’s novel. It probes endurance, peer pressure and the will to survive. Plus, Mark Hamill’s menacing performance offers a reminder of how quickly authority can turn oppressive. 

The story follows a group of teenage boys forced to compete in a brutal walking contest where stopping means death, a chilling metaphor for conformity and sacrifice under authoritarian rule. With rising young actors, the film balances star power with raw, emotional intensity, making it both a harrowing endurance test and a character driven drama.

V/H/S/Halloween (Oct. 3)

The cult anthology series returns just in time for spooking season, with seven directions offering a mix of twisted vision shot in the found footage style. This installment leans heavily into Halloween themes. 

Expect cursed tapes, haunted houses and creepy urban legends brought to life with handheld immediacy. This film delivers quick, intense jots that make it ideal for post study breaks or Halloween parties, while its varied direction styles range from psychological shocks to campy gore. 

It’s also perfect for group viewing, with plenty of debate over which segment is the scariest, funniest, or most disturbing.

Black Phone 2 (Oct. 17)

A sequel to the hit horror “The Black Phone,” this installment escalates the supernatural terror with a more amplified evil. Scott Derrickson’s visceral style and Ethan Hawke’s return as the chilling Grabber make this ideal viewing for fans of the original and anyone seeking dread. 

Frankenstein (Oct. 17)

A stunning, gothic reimagining of Mary Shelley’s classic by master filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Its lush visual, moral complexity, and monster as sympathetic soul narrative transcend typical horror tropes. 

A great pick for film buffs, literature lovers, or anyone intrigued by what horror can achieve through artistry. No worries if you miss its theatrical release, you can watch it on Nov. 7 through Netflix.

The Woman in Cabin 10 (Oct. 10)

A mystery thriller in a claustrophobic cruise ship setting, starring Keira Knightley as a journalist no one believes. 

Perfect for campus watch groups or solo nights: paranoia, isolation and unraveling secrets all in one locked in location speak to the anxiety of being trapped whether physically or by other’s doubts. 

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (Dec. 10)

While technically releasing after Halloween, this sequel continues the popular video game turned film saga with returning fan favorites and new scares. 

Ideal for haunted house enthusiasts and those who enjoy serialized horror continuity, plus its December release encourages a sequel watch party once finals are over.

Good Dog (Sep. 5)

This indie horror gem twists the idea of “man’s best friend” into something far more sinister. When a college couple adopts a stray dog, they quickly discover the animal has terrifying ties to an urban legend. 

Mixing slow-burn dread with shocking bursts of violence, this film is perfect for students who like their horror both clever and unsettling. 

Diés Iraé (Oct. 31)

This Malayalam language horror film from Indian director Rahul Sadasivan (“Bhoothakaalam,” “Bramayugam”) premieres globally on Halloween night. “Diés Iraé,” Latin for “Day of Wrath,” blends psychological dread with supernatural elements, anchored by Pranav Mohanlal’s genre debut. 

With much of the creative team behind “Bramayugam” returning, including cinematographer Shehnad Jalal and composer Christo Xavier, the film promises an atmosphere, high style horror experience. 

The story follows a man drawn into a cursed community where folklore, faith and fear collide, forcing him to confront the darkness that binds the living and the dead.

Halloween is creeping up and the next two months have plenty of scares both on and off campus. For fans of cult classics and buzzy new releases, there are horror titles to queue up this September and October.

Eladio Carrión and friends turn up Kaseya Center for his Don Kbrn Tour

Miami showed up loud and proud for Eladio Carrión on Sept. 13th, when the Puerto Rican rapper brought his Don Kbrn Tour to the Kaseya Center. From the moment the lights dropped, the energy was undeniable. 

Eladio opened with a rapid-fire run of tracks that included bangers like: “Vetements”, “H.I.M”, “THUNDER Y LIGHTING” and “Kemba Walker”, instantly setting the tone for a night where the crowd stayed hyped through every beat and bar.

The production was spectacular — a layered stage setup with LED screens stretched across different depths, creating a futuristic backdrop that reflected a more mature Eladio that’s now a father. He brought an elevated stage presence without losing the raw edge that made him a staple of Latin trap.

The production matched the different vibes Eladio brought. On smoother, urban tracks like “Coco Chanel” and “Hey Lil Mama,” the visuals felt fluid and cinematic. But when he switched to trap anthems like “Heavyweight” and “TATA,” the stage exploded with strobes and heavy bass, daring the crowd to lose control.

The Miami crowd, mostly young and all-in, treated every song like an anthem. He brought out a lineup of special guests — Corina Smith for “Todo o Nada”, Yandel for “Sigo Enamorau”, Omar Courtz for “Primer Lugar”, Jon Z, and Noriel for “Rápido” and “Cheque.” 

Eladio also allowed his guests to perform some of their songs. The crowd went wild when Noriel and Jon Z performed the legendary trap track “0 Sentimientos.”

What struck me most was the love bouncing back and forth between Eladio and his fans. He didn’t just perform at them — he performed with them. The chemistry was obvious, and it turned the Kaseya Center into something more like a church for trap music than a concert venue.

One of the coolest things about this show was how Eladio wasn’t afraid to let the music breathe. He gave the fans room to chant back at him, jump in on hooks or just scream the bars that hit hardest. 

The night closed on a perfect high note with his classic “Mbappe.” Eladio ran it twice — first asking fans to turn their phones off to live in the moment, and then letting them record the encore. It was a powerful reminder of why his shows feel different: they’re about connection, not just performance.

In Miami, Eladio Carrión proved he’s not just riding the Latin trap wave — he’s steering it. And after the Don Kbrn Tour, there’s no doubt the love between him and his fans is only growing stronger.

‘The Long Walk’ delivers Stephen King’s dystopia with relentless tension

Francis Lawernce’s “The Long Walk,” adapted from Stephen King’s novel, is less a traditional horror film and more a slow burn of psychological dread. Released Sept. 12, the film follows 100 teenage boys forced to walk without stopping. If they do, they’ll meet the barrel of a gun.

Leading the cast, Cooper Hoffman, from “Licorice Pizza,” balances vulnerability with quiet resolve, while David Jonsson and Garret Wareing bring intensity to the march. Mark Hamill and Judy Greer add gravitas, embodying the adult forces orchestrating the ordeal. 

The film’s power comes from its simplicity: a never ending road, the threat of collapse and the looming presence of authority. Lawrence, best known for directing “The Hunger Games” film trilogy, leans on long tracking shots and stark landscapes to emphasize monotony and despair. The result is hypnotic, something’s punishing in its pacing.

“The Long Walk” is more than a genre exercise, it’s a meditation on competition and conformity. Its tension comes not from monsters or gore, but from the quiet horror of watching how far people will go to outlast one another.

Matthew Tkachuk Announced as College GameDay Guest Picker

From back-to-back Stanley Cup wins to appearing on College GameDay.

Matthew Tkachuk, a Winger and Assistant Captain for the Florida Panthers, has been chosen as UM’s guest picker for College GameDay on Saturday.

The Arizona native is excited for this opportunity, as he prepares for the mass of UM fans surrounding him this weekend.

“It’s an honor,” Tkachuk said, “ever since coming down here to South Florida, I’ve been more into college football.” 

Tkachuk spoke on the importance of this role to him, and hockey players alike.

“I’ve been a college football fan for a little while,” he said, “but being the first NHL player to be given this honor of being on this grand stage and for the country to see my picks is going to be good.”

Since being traded to the Panthers in the 2022 offseason, Tkachuk has cemented himself as a star in Florida. Tkachuk was named All Star MVP in his home arena in 2023, tied the record for postseason points in 2024, and returned from injury in 2025 to bring the Panthers another cup.

With UM’s storied past of GameDay pickers, from Michael Irvin to Alex Rodriguez, and even Uncle Luke, former frontman of the rap group “2 Live Crew,” Tkachuk is excited to join this list of South Florida celebrities this weekend. 

He shared a bit of nervousness as well.

“Hopefully my picks hit,” he said, regarding his prediction of who will win on Saturday.

College GameDay will be broadcast live from the Lakeside Patio starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m.

HHS moves to ‘decertify’ Miller School’s organ recovery agency 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is moving to “decertify” the Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency, a division at UM’s Miller School of Medicine, as of Thursday, Sept. 18.   

This move comes after an HHS investigation revealed “years of poor training, chronic underperformance, understaffing and paperwork errors.” The HHS cited a 2024 case of a surgeon mistakenly declining a donated heart for a transplant patient.

LAORA, a division of the Daughtry Family Department of Surgery at Miller, is one of the U.S.’s 55 organ procurement organizations. These organizations are regulated by HHS through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. 

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s initiative to reform the organ transplant system was launched in July and prompted the current investigation. His initiative came after the Health Resources and Services Administration “revealed disturbing practices” by an unidentified large organ procurement organization. 

“Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” said Kennedy. “The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”

The HHS investigation found that at least 28 patients nationally may not have been deceased when organ procurement was initiated. 

“The top priority of the Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency (LAORA) has always been safe, respectful, and compliant organ donation practices. We are aware of the decision issued today by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and of the agency’s investigations into organ procurement practices across the country,” LAORA said in a statement to The Hurricane. “We will cooperate fully with HHS to ensure a smooth transition and will not appeal. We hope that other OPOs follow suit in putting patients first. Our focus remains on protecting the dignity of donors, supporting their families, and advancing the life-saving mission of organ transplantation.”

UM medical and transplant efforts have faced other investigations in the past.

The Miami Transplant Institute, which is a collaboration between UHealth and the Jackson Health System, was suspended from performing adult heart transplants in 2023. The institute voluntarily agreed to suspend the program while anonymous complaints were investigated. 

In a separate case largely related to the Miami Transplant Institute, a press release on the DOJ website says that UM agreed to pay $22 million in 2021 to “resolve allegations” that it violated the False Claims Act. The press release says UM ordered “medically unnecessary” laboratory tests for patients who received kidney transplants and submitted “inflated claims for reimbursement” for pre-transplant testing. 

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, highlighted that addressing the current state of the system will improve patient outcomes.

“For too long, patients and families have suffered from systemic failures,” Oz said. “We are enforcing rigorous standards and modernizing the system with better data, stronger oversight and innovative tools to make organ procurement safer, fairer and more effective for every American awaiting a transplant.”

The Miami Hurricane reached out to the University of Miami and the UM Miller and UHealth media relations team for comment. The Hurricane has not yet received a response.
