What is Love Actually?

Latest Episodes:

Love Actually 04. To Me, You are Perfect Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Married co-stars of NBC’s Connecting Keith Powell & Jill Knox Powell join Patrick & Beth to ask all the right questions about the tale of Juliet (Keira Knightley, Pirates of the Caribbean I-IV), Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kinky Boots, Serenity, 12 Years a Slave), and Mark (Andrew Lincoln, The Walking Dead).

We cover diversity hires, toxic masculinity, the awfulness of an episode of Friends, and the time 19-year-old Jill went on a date with an NBA player as old as her dad.

Love Actually 03. Shag Highway, Heading West Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Long-time actor friends John Loughney & Katie McManus join Beth & Patrick to suffer through the quest of Colin (Kris Marshall, My Family) and his decision to go the States to get laid against the advice of his friend, Tony (Abdul Salis, Casualty).

We cover ice skating injuries, Colin’s job, the nature of Colin and Tony’s relationship, INCELs, a new podcast: 3 Gen-Xers and a Millennial, and whether or not the women Colin meets in Wisconsin are drug dealers using him as a mule or a coven of witches (it’s definitely one or the other).

Love Actually 02. This is SO Much More Than a Bag Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Patrick & Beth found two human beings on this planet, Solomon Parker III & Joshua Simon, who had never seen Love Actually! So they all watch it from top-to-bottom.

We cover that Love Actually is not The Holiday, Josh’s non-Christmas-movie Jewish upbringing, how Solomon is HERE for declarations of love, the definition of “Beth,” and whether or not Kate Winslet is in this movie (she’s not, that’s The Holiday).

Love Actually 01. Who is Richard Curtis and Are We Going to Say Terrible Things About Him? Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Mr. Curtis is a comedy hero to Patrick and much less than that to Beth.

We start at Oxford, sidle over to the classic BBC comedies Blackadder, Mr. Bean, and The Vicar of Dibley, before finally paying special attention to the three romcoms he wrote prior Love Actually: Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. What is known in England as “The Canon.”
