It’s time for another edition of What Did I Miss?, our monthly recurring series where we catch up on the biggest pop culture stories from the past few weeks that may have slipped under the radar. Joining us this month are special guests Eli from Super Bracket Bros and Kory from The World is My Burrito as we each bring a major topic to the table before jumping into our Discord roundup, where we speed through even more news, announcements, trailers, and community discussions. And of course, we finish things off with a competitive game of pop culture Kahoot! to see who walks away with bragging rights.

• The reception to The Amazing Digital Circus and how it continues to surprise audiences by exploring heavier themes and serious topics despite its colorful visuals and appearance as something aimed toward younger viewers
• Eli’s thoughts on discovering the deeper layers of The Amazing Digital Circus, and how the series challenges expectations about what animated storytelling can tackle
• The trailer for Shrek 5 and the mixed reactions to its updated animation style, including the debate over whether the new look works for the franchise
• Google investing $75 million into A24 as part of an AI research partnership, our reactions to the news, and concerns about what this could mean for the future of A24’s identity and creative output
• The pricing discussion surrounding Steam Deck and the frustration around the rising cost of gaming, along with the bigger conversation about where the industry is heading

We also dive into our Discord roundup, covering even more pop culture stories making waves, including new announcements, entertainment news, gaming updates, and community topics from The Wait For It Podcast Discord. Then we wrap up with our usual Kahoot showdown to see who can claim this month’s ultimate pop culture victory.

Tune in for another month of conversations, debates, and the stories you may have missed!
