Summary

As a New Year's treat check out this snippet from Unspooled's Love Actually episode, which is more like HDTGM than anything else Unspooled has ever done. Paul & Amy dissect director Richard Curtis’s curious understanding of love, learn the fates of each character in the 2017 sequel short, and watch deleted scenes that would have introduced even more plots into the film. Plus: Lindy West discusses her essay “Shit Actually” that kicked off a critical re-evaluation of this movie.
