Love Actually (2003)

Bonus Episode (December 27, 2024)

Join Laci, Matt, and their special guest Jay (a.k.a. Cinema Coconut) as they answer completely sincere, totally-not-fabricated questions about that pesky thing we call love.

And, in case you haven’t heard, love actually IS all around us, if you just take the time to look. It’s in the love an aging pop star has for his manager. The love a bored supervisor has for meddling in the lives of his employees. The love a prime minister has for watching his subjects at the airport.

Happy holidays! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for making this the best year Load Bearing Beams has ever had.
