Love Actually is many things — a millennial Christmas classic, a problematic fave, a time capsule that glamorizes abuse of power in the workplace as romantic, an R-rated rom com, a surprisingly queer positive (well, considering the context...) string of love stories, etc. — and while Sam and Jordan couldn't possibly cover everything there is to talk about regarding this modern holiday staple, they are going to cover a lot of ground. (And they're also going to talk a lot about Mariah Carey.) For this episodes, your co-hosts confront the all important question: Love, actually?? With so many stories within this story, Love Actually couldn't possibly be the cultural monolith it's talked about as being, which is exactly why Aughtsterion is here to guide you through a re-appraisal of this sticky millennium-era mega hit. Praise be to Keira Knightley's name.
