If you thought you could escape Christmas without watching Love Actually, you’d ACTUALLY be mistaken. Because no one can get to Christmas Day without at least shedding a tear that Emma Thompson never gets given that necklace. Every. Single. Year. Merry Christmas!
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Curtis directed Four Weddings and Notting Hill, his films all feel like they’re part of the same universe. It wasn’t until Love Actually that he took the plunge, and decided to weave together ten different love stories in the lead up to Christmas. Wait, did he create his own cinematic universe, the RCCU (Richard Curtis Cinematic Universe) before Marvel? We’ll let you be the judge.
Our SOTW this week is Brian and Charles directed Jim Archer, a 12 minute short that follows a man who lives alone in the countryside, and builds a robot to keep him company. Madness ensues from then on.
We’re having a doubly special episode as we’re joined by by none other than Jeune Femme and 30 somethings having breakdowns on film expert, Julia. If you’re yet to listen to Jeune Femme, catch her laying down some gems on that episode, then jump back to Love Actually for more gems (but the festive kind). And then, next year, she might even lay down MORE gems on UNCUT GEMS. There’s a little glimpse at the future 🌟.
So Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from all of us at the YNFYF pod. And thanks immensely for all the support in our sacred year of birth, 2019.
Next year looks like even more firsts, some one off specials, a whole new array of guests and complete domination of the film podcast industry. Wait, what?
Happy listening.
