The Wait For It Podcast

It’s time for another round of What Did I Miss?, our monthly pop culture catch-up where we break down the biggest stories we didn’t get to cover the month before. We’re joined once again by returning guests Victor Larson and Donald Guzzi, bringing their takes on everything from major leaks to surprising new adaptations. As always, we wrap things up with a chaotic game of Kahoot trivia for bragging rights.
 The leak surrounding Avatar: The Last Airbender-related project The Legend of Aang, and the fallout from fans and the industry as details spread online 
 The surprising news that Epic: The Musical is getting an animated adaptation, with backing from Jerry Bruckheimer, and what that could mean for the project 
 A wave of new announcements, including a Dungeon Crawler Carl TV series, film adaptations for Call of Duty and Battlefield, and a live-action take on FernGully: The Last Rainforest
 The unexpected return of Firefly, this time as an animated series, and whether it can recapture what made the original so beloved 
 A broader roundup of the month’s pop culture news, including new trailers, video game reveals, and highlights from our Discord community discussions 
Tune in for a packed episode covering everything you might’ve missed—and stick around to see who comes out on top in this month’s trivia showdown.

For our second Patreon Month recommendation, we’re taking a look at a heavy hitter in the action genre, courtesy of Wait Watcher Kory T. from the World is My Burrito Podcast. This time, we dive into The Raid 2, a film that’s often brought up in conversations about the greatest action movies ever made. Its influence can be felt across modern action cinema, from the slick choreography of John Wick and its sequels to films like Atomic Blonde, Extraction, and even Nobody. But does it live up to that reputation for us? We break down where it excels—and where it might lose us.
 Phil’s reaction to the film’s intense violence, especially its graphic depiction of injuries like broken and exposed bones, and a heads-up for listeners who might find that level of brutality hard to watch 
 The film’s lasting pop culture impact, with its influence stretching beyond movies into gaming and anime, and why it still gets brought up in action conversations today 
 Whether the story tries to do too much, layering in complex plotlines that may not be compelling enough to justify how difficult they can be to follow 
 The two-and-a-half-hour runtime, which is a significant jump from The Raid, and whether that added length helps or hurts the overall experience 
 The camera work, including heavy use of shaky cam that at times feels overdone and distracting rather than immersive 
 Standout action sequences, especially the iconic kitchen fight and the memorable showdown with “Bat Man” and “Hammer Girl,” which highlight the film at its absolute best 
Tune in as we unpack one of the most talked-about action films of the last decade and decide where it lands for us.
Letterbox'd Synopsis: After fighting his way through an apartment building populated by an army of dangerous criminals and escaping with his life, SWAT team member Rama goes undercover, joining a powerful Indonesian crime syndicate to protect his family and uncover corrupt members of his own force.

We’re kicking off Patreon Month with Late To The Party, diving into a listener recommendation from Wait Watcher, Vintage! This time, we check out Stardust—a fantasy adventure that somehow slipped past us for years. With its mix of romance, magic, and adventure, we went in curious to see if this was a hidden gem or just a product of its time. As it turns out… it’s a bit of both.
 The stacked cast, including Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Robert De Niro, and how their performances bring a ton of personality and elevate the material 
 How the movie captures that early 2000s fantasy/sci-fi vibe—ambitious, a little uneven, but still a fun ride overall 
 The humor, which ends up being a pleasant surprise, with several performances leaning into comedy in ways that really work 
 The visuals, which can be hit or miss—some moments still look great, while others definitely show their age 
 A love story and overall plot that feel underdeveloped, especially in the slower first half, but a second half that picks up and delivers a much more entertaining experience 
Tune in as we break down whether Stardust is worth discovering now or if it’s better left as a nostalgic piece of its era.

Synopsis: In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he’ll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm. His journey takes him into a world beyond his wildest dreams and reveals his true identity.
