Winter watchlist: Knives Out 3, Emily in Paris, and our Dhurandhar Year-End Picks

The winter blues have arrived, and so has our preferred response: staying in bed and watching everything. In this episode, we move from comfort-viewing to critique—starting with Wake Up Dead Man, the third Knives Out instalment, and why its church-set mystery (and Fleabag’s “hot priest” in a very different register) makes for a satisfying, self-aware detective story.

From there, we pivot to the disappointment of rewatching early-2000s Bollywood (Kaal) and the slow erosion of patience with Emily in Paris Season 5. We also talk about Single Papa and what it reveals about the current content cycle: easy premises, louder stereotypes, and social media enthusiasm that doesn’t always translate on screen.

We close with the internet’s “Day One as a spy in Pakistan” trend, a brief return to the Dhurandhar discourse via The Great Shamsuddin Family, and our nine best picks from 2025.
