Judith Light, Courtney Taylor, and Richard Curtis on the Empathy, Magic, and Holiday Spirit of That Christmas and Out Of My Mind

Kyle Meredith With...

Judith Light (Who’s The Boss) and Courtney Taylor (Insecure) sat down with Kyle Meredith to discuss their heartfelt new Disney film Out of My Mind, which tackles themes of empathy and empowerment through the story of Melody Brooks, a non-verbal sixth grader with cerebral palsy who breaks barriers with the help of an inspiring teacher. Light reflected on the importance of fostering understanding and kindness for those who are often dismissed by society. Taylor shared the transformative experience of portraying a character advocating for marginalized voices. Meanwhile, Richard Curtis (Notting Hill) joined Meredith to dive into his Netflix animated feature That Christmas, a whimsical, intertwined tale of family, love, and resilience set against the backdrop of a blizzard-stricken seaside town. Curtis, the mind behind Love Actually, revealed how the film stems from children’s books he wrote for his kids, with Brian Cox’s Santa and Ed Sheeran’s original song adding magic to the story. From emotional impact to holiday cheer, Meredith’s interviews celebrate the power of storytelling to inspire change and connection.
