Show Notes
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!
