    What Did I Miss? (December 2025)

    We unpack the Claire Obscur award reversal, the messy line between tools and authorship, and what “indie” really means when budgets, teams, and outsourcing blur the edges. Then we reflect on My Hero Academia’s impact and John Cena’s farewell, trading favorite arcs, rivalries, and why communal hype still matters. We wrap it up with a rapid fire Discord round up of topics from the entire month! • Why the Indie Game Awards rescinded Claire Obscur’s top honor • My Hero Academia’s highs, lulls and enduring characters • John Cena’s final run, legacy and defining rivalries • Quick hits on Helldivers, AC Black Flag, Fallout TV links • 2026 movie hype: The Odyssey, Dune 3, and Avengers 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: Music track: Everyday by Eric Lund Source: https://freetouse.com/music/ Music for Videos (Free Download) 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?

    Awards season hits different when the culture won’t sit still. We spent 2025 swimming through surprise debuts, comeback stories, and one film that hijacked playlists worldwide—and we’ve got the receipts.

    Late To The Party: Rise of the Guardians

    We revisit Rise of the Guardians to ask why a box office underperformer became a cult favorite, weighing its heartfelt Jack Frost arc against pacing dips, design quirks, and a thin villain while celebrating standout voice work and underused mythology. A cozy, honest review with spirited rankings, playful chaos, and a new idea we can’t stop thinking about. • The hook of a holiday Avengers team-up • Jack Frost’s arc as the emotional center • The limits and promise of the lore • Animation highs and uncanny character faces • Pitch Black’s motives vs clear stakes • DreamWorks context and timing against big releases • Our scores, rankings, and where it sits today • Quick-fire comparisons with animated favorites Letterbox'd Synopsis: When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast 🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: "Extenz - Gravity" is under a Creative Commons license Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/extenz-gravity 🔺 Enjoyed the episode?
