Love Actually (2003)

Don’t You Want Me?

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.

*This is the first of four Christmas bonus episodes for Christmas 2021 - series two coming in 2022!*

In this episode we’re talking about the most divisive film of the 21st century, Richard Curtis’ all-star 2003 festive platter Love Actually. Is this movie the John Lewis Pulp Fiction, Middlemarch for the Great British Bake Off generation or is it simply an ode to the all-consuming power of calories? No, but seriously, it’s Christmas. And Love Actually is one of the highest grossing comedies ever made in the UK. Let’s not casually ignore those things that really matter to… erm… Britain. And let’s go get the sh*t kicked out of us by love. Recorded in November 2021.
