🎬 Lights, Camera, Search History

Hollywood ruled our thumbs this year:

• Happy Gilmore 2 — we needed to know if Adam Sandler still got it
• Minecraft: The Movie — because your kid will force you to watch it

On the TV side:

• Severance — “Is season 2 finally happening or what?”
• Squid Game — we still need a support group
• Landman and The Pitt — new shows we pretended we discovered first

🎵 Music We Obsessed Over

K-pop took the crown (again):
Stranger Things wasn’t the only thing going upside-down — Canadians streamed Huntr/x and The Saja Boys like our lives depended on it.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar reminded us who’s king:
“Not Like Us” and “Luther” ruled gym playlists, break-up playlists, and “I’m just angry at the government” playlists.
