Wuthering Heights
Rating: +2 “Come Undone” reads every poster for director Emerald Fennell’s latest venture, a film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, “Wuthering Heights”. But this tagline begs the question, “will I, really come undone?”. What starts off as a beautiful love story between two children in the English countryside and progresses to a deep-rooted tension between two of the most beautiful people on Earth, quickly […]
Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour 13/02
Southern Gothic meeting dream-pop meeting drone has landed in Auckland. Ethel Cain enchanted Auckland Town Hall on the two sexiest days of February 2026 – Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day. As an attendee of night one, it feels good to say: “if you weren’t there you really missed out.” Raised in the Bible Belt of […]
Newsmaker: Georgie Dansey
Nexus met Labour’s new Hamilton East candidate Georgie Dansey entirely by chance. Being Nexus, we bothered her with 13 questions, some relevant to the upcoming local election, and others not at all. While healthcare, housing, and jobs all sounds pretty cool, we can’t complain about National’s cut to tobacco tax because writers are nothing without a romanticised cigarette on a […]
Nexus Breaks the News – 02/03/26
Wellington resident’s toilet explodes, shit literally hits the fan If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard about a toilet or sewage exploding this week, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice. Looks like Wellington has extremely big, shit flavoured fish to fry. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor gets arrested, then quickly released What’s the point in arresting him if he has almost complete […]
That Sticky Summer was not the last
Written By Cerys Gibby “What happened to summer?” Is the question on the tip of every New Zealander’s tongue. The summer of 2025/2026 seems to have been stickier than usual, complaints of humidity and constant rainfall plaguing r/newzealand on the regular. As university students itching to spend our youths out in the sun, the disappointing weather was […]
MOVE ALONG
It’s official, and it’s not surprising. After what must have been plenty of whining during wine-and-steak dinners in nice Auckland suburbs and Golf games on barren turf, the government have given cops the authority and directive to issue ‘move on’ orders to unhoused people aged 14 and up. Punishment for refusing to listen to a cop – who was at best totally oblivious to Jevon McSkimming’s internet usage and, at worst, probably also needs their computer searched – ranges […]
CHECK OUT THESE NEW APARTMENTS
Maybe you’ve noticed some fancy new buildings along Knighton Road. Maybe, if you’re one of our readers who lived in Studvill last year, you got to have study sessions soundtracked by machinery, hammers, and worksite JBL speakers. These are the University’s new apartments. Billed as accommodation for students who want some extra independence (translation: not having to smuggle your sneaky link around) while still living on campus. These things weren’t exactly cheap to put together (trust me, […]
2026 NEXUS SUMMER ROUNDUP
While we might have been sleeping, partying, and recovering from Covid over Summer, the world did not pump the brakes to wait for us to get over our hangovers – I remember getting home from Laneway and dumping five onion rings from the airfryer into my plate while my twitter feed was suddenly filled with announcements of tensions […]
Left vs Right: Should Hamilton Revert to Kirikiriroa
Left: When we are asking ourselves if the name Hamilton should be reverted to its Māori name Kirikiriroa, we need to think about what it represents and who is affected by it most. Yes, the city under the name of Hamilton has a lot of history, and the name has become ingrained in our everyday use. However, that […]
Drying Out
It’s a Friday night. Classes have finally – and politely – fucked off for the weekend and campus is buzzing. Typically, we would see large groups of first years heading to a friend’s room in the halls, to get ready and pre-game for town. You want evidence, brave the Outback’s bathrooms, there’s your evidence. Along with the kiddies going to cause whatever mischief […]
