It’s time for another installment of What Did I Miss? — the episode where we catch you up on the biggest entertainment stories you may have missed this month. This month, we’re joined by Brenda and Kat from the Damsels Never Finish podcast, who we had the privilege of joining for an episode earlier this month. Together, we’re diving into the headlines that had everyone talking — and a few that may have flown under your radar.

This month we discussed:

• The upcoming Netflix adaptation of Lights Out and how Netflix continues leaning into live-action book adaptations

• The surprising pitch that Daniel Radcliffe was once approached for a Wizard of Oz remake alongside Emma Watson and Rupert Grint during the height of the Harry Potter film series era

• The continued rise in popularity of Heated Rivalry and how it’s bringing new fans into hockey culture

• Bad Bunny’s halftime show performance and the cultural representation woven throughout

We also briefly went over the discontinuation of mass market paperback books, news that an animated Venom film is in the works, casting updates for the live-action Scooby-Doo, and other pop culture headlines from February.

Missed the discourse? We’ve got you covered.

This week on International Feature, we took a trip back to one of the most talked-about holiday rom-coms of all time: Love Actually. Often held up as a seasonal classic, the film has remained a staple of Christmas viewing for years — but for us, revisiting it raised a lot more questions than warm fuzzy feelings. We dug into why the movie’s reputation doesn’t match our experience, and how some of its most celebrated moments have aged… poorly.

• Only really connecting with one or two of the relationship dynamics presented
• Our genuine disbelief that this is considered a romantic comedy “classic”
• The blatant fatphobia and the way several characters are mistreated for laughs
• The uncomfortable and inappropriate dynamic between Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln’s character
• Too many characters, too little depth, and barely enough time spent with any storyline
• The randomness of certain casting choices — and how Martin Freeman ends up in movies like this
• Why ensemble rom-coms just don’t work for us when the emotional payoff isn’t there

A holiday staple for some… but for us, this was more frustrating than festive

Letterbox'd Synopsis: Eight very different couples deal with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London.
