Inspired by the beloved 1980s film of the same name, People We Meet on Vacation quickly became popular on Netflix. According to Tudum, it garnered 17.2 million views and a total of 33.8 million hours of watch time.
The episode titled “Corrosive” featured a judge, Busfield, recovering after someone tried to harm him. It was initially supposed to air on January 15th, but instead, the episode originally planned for January 22nd will now be shown first.
The event was promoted as being especially for lesbians – the announcement playfully said “Lesbians love a slow burn” – but a few gay men also attended. One man even had a custom T-shirt printed with the full translation of a famous monologue on the back. After the event, people approached him to read the text on his shirt, even though most had likely heard the monologue before. Throughout December, viewers had watched the show when it first aired, and many rewatched it during the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s. Most attendees seemed to have watched it around three times, but one woman admitted she’d seen even more, counting all the clips and fan videos she’d watched on TikTok.
The directors recently explained in an Instagram post celebrating the fourth preview that the four videos released so far aren’t traditional teasers or trailers. Instead, they described them as short stories and hints about what’s to come, showcasing characters like the people of Wakanda, Namor, and Ben Grimm from The Fantastic Four.
I’m still blown away by how well Avatar: Fire and Ash is doing! For the fourth weekend in a row, audiences have shown their love by flocking to theaters, and it took the top spot again. That earned it another 20 points, bringing its total domestic box office to an incredible $342 million. Zootopia 2 is still doing well with $378 million – it’s the third highest-grossing movie of 2025 – but Minecraft and Lilo & Stitch weren’t competing for points. Because Avatar has been number one for so many weeks, it’s actually taken the lead in the overall standings for box-office points, which is amazing!
Great K-dramas stand out for their original stories and ability to connect with viewers through relatable themes. While often incorporating unique elements, these shows ultimately explore the human condition. This is true whether the drama is a historical tale with a supernatural twist, like Netflix’s Kingdom, a contemporary romance set in Korea, such as Crash Landing On You (also on Netflix), or a gripping political thriller like Disney+’s Tempest.
According to FlixPatrol, Thunderbolts is currently number 8 on Disney+’s Top 10 list this week. The movie has been moving around the Top 10 recently, hitting number 10 on January 7th, 8th, and 11th, before rising to number 8 on January 13th.
I was so excited to read that Zoe Saldaña has officially become the highest-grossing actor globally, even surpassing Scarlett Johansson! It’s amazing to see all her hard work pay off. Here in the US, Samuel L. Jackson still leads with the highest domestic box office numbers, but Scarlett, Robert Downey Jr., and Zoe are right behind him. Chris Pratt completes the top five, but Zoe’s international success is what really puts her on top overall – she’s incredible!
The new series Vanished will debut on MGM+ on February 1st in the U.S., Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Latin America, with new episodes released weekly. Viewers in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can watch all four episodes starting February 27th on Prime Video. You can find the trailer for Vanished below.
The new actors are welcome additions to the live-action One Piece series, but the minor villains from Baroque Works aren’t powerful enough to be considered among the strongest characters in the entire One Piece story.
