It’s been two decades since Richard Curtis’s Love Actually warmed our chilly W. Bush-era hearts, and oh what a pair of decades it’s been. Now, the movie is back in theaters for its anniversary, and Ify has seen it for the first time. Does it hold up? Can we enjoy it anyway? All this, plus the final Xmas Movie Minute of the year and a hotline call from [checks notes] inside the house!

“General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.”

Kicking off our Christmas series of films, Trevor brings in one of his favorite Christmas and romantic comedies,  the insanely stacked, star studded 2003 English classic, Love Actually. 

Diane and Sean discuss arguably the best rom-com of all time, Notting Hill. Episode music is, "She" by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer, performed by Elvis Costello, from the OST.

Richard Curtis CBE is a film writer and director, responsible for films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Mr Bean and Love Actually.  This 20 minute podcast dives into the other side of Richard’s extraordinary life is one of tremendous advocacy and contribution to alleviating poverty globally.  He is the co-founder of Comic Relief, the creator of Red Nose Day, the instigator behind Make Poverty History, Live Aid, and most recently Make My Money Matter.  

We said we’d take a break, but we do work hard for the money here at Pop Culture Boner, so actually we’ve done a very special little Christmas bonus episode. People love to re-visit Love Actually as a Christmas classic but in reality it’s such a deeply weird film. Why’s it a little bit about 9/11? 

Thanks again to The Jimmy C for providing the music for the Christmas theme song. You should add his Christmas single to your holiday playlists on Spotify.
