Echo’s April Video 2021

Say hello to the month of April where you either become the fool or the fooler. Things are slowly getting better dare I say but for the VP team unfortunately it isn’t so. The starting of this month isn’t exactly what everyone would’ve expected but with a heavy heart, Shay and Philix addressed a very important topic and explains what is actually going on behind the scenes. Sometimes it’s hard to get along with people despite trying your best. I know I’m being all cryptic but definitely watch this video so you’ll understand why it had to happen.

Beer & Skittles: Snowpiercer

Beer & Skittles: Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is an American, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi series about a perpetual-engine-train on which humanity must survive after the world has frozen to death. Its story is based on a 2013 film by the same name directed by Oscar winning ‘Parasite’ director Bong Joon-Ho. The film was originally based on an 1892 French graphic novel called Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob. The show went through a turbulent development phase to then be released to an onslaught of criticism for deviating from the original film’s plot. Despite this, it managed to garner decent popularity among its audience.
