It's Saturnalia! So here's the pilot episode of a podcast Beth Amann and I created called What is Love Actually?!

What is Love Actually? Is it a simple romantic Christmas movie or is it a horrible mistake that actually killed the rom com? Well, that's what Beth Amann and Patrick Flynn are here to find out.

We're kicking it off with Solomon Parker III and Josh Simon, two millennials that have never seen Love Actually before. What will they think? What will they feel? How great were the cheese plates Beth made for the screening? You'll learn the answers to the first two questions during the episode and the third right now: they were amazing.

As you may or may not (but probably may) know, over at our Patreon page we have a patrons-only podcast called The Original Cast at the Movies. It's a long-form movie discussion podcast about musical movies.

In 2018 we've had guests like as Tia Shearer Bassett, Kari Ginsburg, Lee Liebeskind, Tracy Lynn Olivera, Michelle Polera, Jason Schlafstein, Courtney Laine Self, Holly Twyford, and Emily Zickler talking about classic movie musicals like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) & Beauty and the Beast (1991), cult-favorite movie musicals like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) & Xanadu (1980), and From Justin to Kelly (2003).

So here's a 10-minute sample of our latest episode featuring Emma Jackson (Brigaddon 1990) and Farrell Parker (A Chorus Line 1975) talking about the holiday classic: White Christmas (1954).

Happy Merry!
