Listen Later

Happy December! There have been heated discussions between Tamu & Mallory about the holiday movie, Love Actually and whether it is actually problematic. Luckily, when Jim and Ben were in town, they graciously agreed throw their hats into the ring regarding this "controversial" holiday film.

Moral to the Story: Love Actually can spur debate.

Other Fun Topics Discussed:

  • Ben LOVES Rodrigo Santoro.
  • At Christmas anything is possible.
  • Laura Linney is a national treasure.
  • Debate Question 1: Do you think Rodrigo was in love with Laura?
  • Ben reasons that we don't see Rodrigo's side of the story so it is difficult to know his feelings.
  • Tamu would feel guilty about not answering her brother's phone call, but would have chose an orgasm.
  • Sometimes love is about forgiveness.
  • Debate Question 2: Did Emma Thompson forgive Professor Snape?
  • Question NOT up for Debate:  No one likes that necklace.
  • Love Actually is about love in all its forms.
  • Keira Knightley's stalker.
  • Jim became a convert to Love Actually late in life.
  • Mallory felt that Hugh Grant's love story was problematic because of the "big lady" (OR NOT AT ALL BIG) trope.
