Love Actually (2003)

Dec 22, 2023, 05:47 AM

Feeling the spirit of Christmas in the air, Dave decides to hold an impromptu screening of the 2003 rom-com “Love Actually”, much to the chagrin of the store’s staff.

Christmas time is here! And that can only mean one thing: Apocalypse Video’s obligatory Christmas episode! And this time we’re not talking about some box office bomb involving Santa Claus, or a precocious young boy running two criminals through a maze of death in New York City -- no, this time we’re doing the ultimate romantic comedy. A film that’s synonymous with Christmas and features not only one love story but eight! I’m talking, of course, about the 2003 modern day classic, Love Actually.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try to navigate this charming but convoluted web of love are fellow cinephiles and Billy Mack groupies, Ryan, Mike, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the absolutely bonkers notion that people in airports are happy and filled with love; Alan Rickman experiences all of the downsides of an affair without even getting laid; and finally, we talk about how the film’s most iconic profession of love is also it’s creepiest.
