  • ASCS Review on Budget 2020

    The Budget presented for 2020 was for the most part a pretty uneventful budget. The budget very clearly showed that the country is in surplus, with its strict emphasis on the fact that this was the third consecutive budget without an increase in taxes. The budget was also full of tax rebates and one-offs meant…

  • Why everyone is loving Joker

    Why everyone is loving Joker

    Harsh criticism of Joker Joker released in cinemas across the US on the 4th of October. The reaction has been both somewhat surprising, but at the same time not. A few months ago, we talked about if the customer is always right when it comes to movie reviews, especially due to the largely unfair critical responses regarding…

  • Is Malta really that progressive?

    Is Malta really that progressive?

    The Maltese Culture is arguably the most diverse in all the Mediterranean. It has seen influence from all major powers and cultures around the whole coast of the Mare Nostrum and even beyond. We are not a single race, but a rich hotchpotch of all that is us, something valuable for a Pop-Culture club like…

  • The explicit graffiti of Ancient Rome

    The explicit graffiti of Ancient Rome

    The ‘high culture’ of Ancient Rome Ancient Rome is one of the cornerstones of ancient civilizations. The culture of this race was one of the founding pillars of modern civilization. Therefore, the art of such a nation would be fundamental to modern-day art and culture due to the influence it would cause. Roman Culture was…

    Is Spiderman actually getting cancelled?

    No more Spiderman? What’s that about? Recently I had the pleasure of taking a trip down memory lane as I exposed my younger brother to the wonder that is Epic Rap Battles of History. One of the rap battles we ended up watching was Stan Lee VS Jim Hansen. While I’m sure that Stan Lee…

    How to get to University without losing your sanity OR the environment

    The struggle of getting to Uni We all know the continuous daily struggle of a university student: getting in your car every morning expecting a convenient drive, but instead it goes more like this; first you end up stuck in traffic for a good 45 minutes and then, once you arrive at university you have to…

    1960s music is most memorable | NYU study finds

    Taste in music is anything but scientific, but a survey proved that the 1960s has the most memorable music. When it comes to music we’re all willing to defend our favourites with all that we’ve got because this was the music that was there for us in our lowest moments and gave us solace, was there to…

  • The world needs Mr Rogers

    The world needs Mr Rogers

    I have never met anyone in my entire life who doesn’t like Tom Hanks. We all swoon at the idea of another Hanks film. So naturally, any film he stars in makes the rounds in the headlines and social media. Tom’s newest film is “A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood” where he takes on the…

  • Has the Sporting Culture taken over?

    Has the Sporting Culture taken over?

    When 1-Up Club was at its inception as the members of the executive were debating how the club should operate, who would be our target audience, what are our priorities, etc. It was a huge to-do list by any stretch of the imagination. As an executive we are a pretty diverse group with different preferences…
