Once upon a time, a girl named Becky watched a movie named “Love, Actually.” While most people react to said film with smiles and even reverence, Becky reacted with sadness ☹️, nausea 🤮, and even anger 🤬.
One year ago, Merie and Becky sat down to talk about this film as a part of their “12 Fears of Christmas.” The full episode had to be edited down to 15 minutes, thus inducing more ☹️, 🤮, and 🤬 in Becky, who really wants you to understand the horror show that is this movie, and experience her rage in all its 30-minute “bipedal vagina” glory (agony?). She really, REALLY hates this movie.
Your pod-coasts also offer the same unedited treatment for the episode with Merie’s attempts to diagnose Becky’s Love, Actually Psychological Condition. Find it on the BONUS page when you subscribe↑↑↑!
So, here it is! Becky & Merie’s 12 Fears of Christmas, Fear 4: “Love, Actually” (Director’s Cut). Enjoy!
