• First reactions to the live-action takes on Kratos from God of War and Moana

In this International Feature episode, we dive into the 2025 drama Sentimental Value, a slow-burning, emotionally layered film that leans heavily into family, memory, and the weight of the past. With powerful performances and deeply human character work, this one gave us plenty to unpack, from what worked beautifully to what left us a little conflicted.

• Stellan Skarsgård delivers a standout performance that anchors the film’s emotional core
• The family dynamics feel lived-in, with a believable sense of shared history and unresolved trauma
• Character interactions come across as raw, genuine, and emotionally vulnerable
• The pacing leans heavily into slow burn territory and we discuss whether it pays off
• Somber but engaging moments help break up the heaviness and keep things compelling
• The film pushes hard on a redemption arc for the father, which at times feels a bit too insistent
• A late-film scene between Agnes and Gustav stands out, and we explore whether that relationship could have been a stronger central focus than Nora’s

Letterbox'd Synopsis: Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star.

On this episode of Late to the Party, we finally sit down to talk about the 2000 legal drama Erin Brockovich. From award-winning performances to its real-life environmental case, we discuss why this film became such a defining movie of the early 2000s and whether it still holds up today. We break down the story, the performances, and some of the storytelling choices that helped make the film both accessible and impactful.

• The powerhouse performance from Julia Roberts that ultimately won her the Academy Award for Best Actress

• The simplification of the real-life case the film is based on, and whether that choice made the story more accessible or took away from the complexity of the situation

• Underdeveloped relationships with some of the side characters, including Erin’s children and George

• Why the film works as a classic David vs. Goliath story where the little guy takes on a powerful corporation

• Erin’s dynamic with Ed Masry, played by Albert Finney, and why we thought the pairing worked so well on screen

If you’ve never seen Erin Brockovich or you’re revisiting it years later like we did, tune in as we break down what works, what doesn’t, and whether this real-life legal drama still packs the same punch.

Synopsis: A twice-divorced mother of three who sees an injustice, takes on the bad guy and wins – with a little help from her push-up bra. Erin goes to work for an attorney and comes across medical records describing illnesses clustered in one nearby town. She starts investigating and soon exposes a monumental cover-up.

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.
