We cover: what actually is on the periodic table of elements, how Beth planned her high school reunion, what glee club remixes shouldn’t be allowed, gaslighting, Cory Feldman, budget restrictions, and why everyone should watch this movie.

Patrick and Beth try to make sense of all this, tally the scores, and endeavour to discover just what is Love Actually?

We cover erroneous commas, Love Actually in the news, Lulu Popplewell, the A Christmas Prince drinking game, Schiffergate, longing for the 4-hour cut of this movie, and how this repeated viewings of Love Actually led Patrick back to the works of Paul Thomas Anderson (specifically Magnolia).
