Cinema Craptaculus 039: "Love Actually"

Published: Dec. 2, 2018, 11:38 p.m.

Book-ended between scenes in a location we are told is \u2018the most romantic place on planet Earth\u2019 - the fucking airport - and overflowing with both love AND Christmas songs, LOVE ACTUALLY takes us on a journey of well LOVE, ACTUALLY. Or rather the journey of a group of intertwined characters, some of whom have relationships that are explained (and others not so much... see Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson) as they desperately try to figure out how this crazy little thing called love works. There are all kinds of love going on: Love between people who don\u2019t share the same language, love between a Prime Minister and a \u2018movie fat\u2019 girl, and even love between Laura Linney and the hottest Italian and/or Spanish guy anyone has ever seen whose name isn\u2019t Antonio or Roberto - it\u2019s Karl. Seriously. KARL. But this is love, people, so we don\u2019t judge. Oh, who are we kidding? Of course, we judge. That\u2019s why we do this podcast. So sit back, sip some eggnog, and get ready to unwrap LOVE, ACTUALLY.
