In this week’s festive episode, we discuss the strange trope of the single dad in popular culture, specifically in Christmas films. We look at how they are presented as a sympathetic widower and why this is appealing to people. In particular, we discuss Falling for Christmas, Love Actually and the Holiday. Happy Holidays from Culture Hang! Pop Culture moments include the Harry and Meghan documentary and Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian’s lie detector interview.
