Podcasts about Love Actually

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas.  For this year's festive special, Nick and Angela are joined around the tree by Keira Knightley for a turkey feast and plenty of bubbles.  Keira Knightley is an English actress who lives in North London with her two daughters and husband, James Righton. She is known for an array of brilliant roles in films such as Pride & Prejudice, The Imitation Game, Atonement and the TV series Black Doves. And, at this time of year, it would be remiss not to mention her role in the Christmas staple Love Actually, a film she's watched just once. She joins us following her latest lead role... opposite Joe Wilkinson in the Waitrose Christmas advert. We've heard his side of the story, but how does Keira reflect on the day they filmed ‘the big kiss'?  Angela delivers dish after dish in this episode, with a fennel & citrus roast turkey as the table's centrepiece. It's served with her own (and famous) turkey gravy, roast potatoes with rosemary salt, stir fried sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta and a roast parsnip & grape salad with hazelnuts, chicory and parmesan dressing, which might just steal the show. Glasses are filled with No.1 Brut Special Reserve Vintage Champagne on arrival and the meal is paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a glass of De Loach OFS California Chardonnay. Enjoy! And let us know if you try and recreate any of the dishes at home.  Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Nick, Angela and all the Dish team!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for roast parsnip & grape salad was created for Waitrose by Elly Curshen.

We're wishing stoners young and old out there a joyous Season's Greetings with our BONKERS HOLIDAZE SPECIAL. Philena still hasn't seen WICKED: FOR GOOD but we got more than enough witches and weirdness for her with THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ from 1910, a silent wonder which condenses Dorothy's entire journey into just 13 baffling minutes! What this early (but not first) version of THE WIZARD OF OZ lacks in coherence, it more than makes up for with stoniness. Glinda turns Toto into a strange dog-beast, and the flying monkeys are replaced with a bat-winged frog nightmare! We not only tell you what to smoke with this one but also what to put on your playlist while you enjoy the confusion. THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ is public domain so it's streaming on YouTube, Archive and even TikTok! And speaking of barely coherent, our main feature is SANTA CLAUS, a brain-melting oddity from Mexico in 1959 where Santa Claus and Merlin must stop a pantaloons-clad Devil from wrecking Christmas. If you put this fantasia on at your family holiday gathering instead of LOVE ACTUALLY or whatever the normies watch this time of year, grandma will feel like she's stoned even if she doesn't have a medical marijuana prescription. This psychiatric experiment was directed by René Cardona, who later gave us such gruesome classics as NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (1969) and the cannibalism epic SURVIVE! (1976). Another public domain gem, so it's streaming everywhere but the print that's on Tubi is the best. We suggest watching with a crowd, but if the male loneliness epidemic has you down, here's the MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 episode that Cory watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTWs3zvz1z4 We also talk about the Netflix merger with Warner Bros (but recorded it before the Ellisons got involved), the short-lived CASABLANCA TV series from the 80s, Greg watching BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) on his new mammoth 4K TV and ZOOTOPIA 2. Happy New Year's everybody and see you back in February 2026!

Listen as Bryant and Caitlyn give their debrief for the holiday classic that is jam-packed with stories of love, Love Actually! *The first portion of the episode is spoiler free*Make sure to follow us:Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok- @opsilverscreenFacebook- Operation: Silver Screen

At Christmas, you tell the truth... And the truth is, we're covering "Love Actually" this week in the first episode of the holiday season. This movie of intertwined character pieces is full of dated takes on dating in the early-2000s UK, but we're going to zero in on one very important cover song that ties all the stories together: Billy Mack's gloriously cynical Christmas cover of The Troggs' “Love Is All Around.” We'll unwrap several other versions of the song as well as take a listen to Bill Nighy's surprisingly extensive singing résumé!

This week on The Way They Were, we do the unthinkable: we go back to Love Actually. Gráinne and Chantal rank the couples from least offensive to “maybe we should call the police”, asking the big questions Richard Curtis never did. Who do we hate the most? Are half these characters quietly unhinged? What exactly is going on with Keira Knightley's extremely youthful bride? And is the secretary secretly a feminist icon? (No.)Along the way we interrogate Christmas number ones, language barriers, workplace power dynamics, and why we will always, always cry during that Emma Thompson scene.The full episode is available now on our Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/TheWayTheyWere⁠⁠ You can also access our exclusive bonus episodes every other week and take part in The Gossip our exclusive Patreon group chat!

Why isn't this film called Love Sleeping? Or Love You Were Sleeping? Or Actually, Love, Were You Sleeping? Or Do You Actually Love Sleeping? Or some other combination of the films Love Actually and WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING!? Love Hard Year: 2021 Written by: Daniel Mackey and Rebecca Ewing Directed by: Hernán Jiménez Stars: Nina Dobrev, Jimmy O. Yang, Darren Barnet Show notes: This film wants to exist at the place where Love Actually meets Die Hard but the story of a woman who falls for a guy she knows nothing about beyond how he looks makes us think of a different film entirely. There is some good stuff here, some less good stuff and one or two elephants in the room - the biggest and noisiest elephant being: why does this film reference While You Were Sleeping so much and NEVER ONCE ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT??? If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward about eleven minutes into the episode. In this episode we mention the films: To All The Boys I've Loved Before* (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3846674/)  Always Be My Maybe* (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7374948/) Love Actually (2003) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/) Die Hard (1998) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/) While You Were Sleeping* (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114924/) Home Alone (1990) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099785/) Single All The Way* (2021) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14315756/) And the TV series: Catfish: The TV Show (2012- ) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2498968/) *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast. Next month we are going to be talking about Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243155/).  If you would like to suggest films for future episodes, you can tweet Lisa: @LisaStowaway.

Host Laura Gommans, an unabashed devotee of festive films, teams up with Kiriko, who prefers her Christmas viewing a little more Eyes Wide Shut than Love Actually. Together they unpack what truly makes a film “festive,” trade beloved classics and oddball alternatives, and dream up which directors should (or absolutely shouldn't) make a holiday movie. As they share how cinema shapes their own festive traditions.Get tickets to Holiday Classics @ LAB111Get tickets to LAB111 9th Aniversary PartyGet tickets to Girly Pop: The Holiday @ LAB111

An absolute Christmas classic. Even with 2025 goggles, this movie is charming and full of love.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA glowing red “jellyfish” above a thunderstorm looks like sci‑fi until you hear the science. We start with a simple birthday fitness win—standing up from the floor without using hands—and follow that thread of intentional choices into the sky, where NASA explains sprites: rare, vermilion flashes that bloom 50 miles up and vanish in milliseconds. The images echo Stranger Things, but the truth is better than fiction—a peek at the upper atmosphere's hidden electrical theater and how storms can spark beauty we rarely see.From awe to impulse, we pivot into a candid look at TikTok Shop and the way shopping now lives inside the same stream as entertainment. Ten billion dollars of U.S. spend this year hints at a bigger shift: when video, social proof, and one-tap checkout erase the pause between wanting and buying. We unpack FOMO across generations, why buy-now-pay-later stretches small choices into long-term debt, and how to rebuild healthy friction with simple guardrails—separating watch from buy, adding a 24-hour list, and removing autofill to invite reflection back into the process.We wrap with a lighter tradition that still carries weight: favorite Christmas movies. Miracle on 34th Street, Love Actually, The Holiday—stories that help us measure what matters and remind us that belief, community, and restraint can coexist. Come for the strange red lightning and stay for the practical toolkit against the scroll-to-cart spiral. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves space or struggles with impulse buys, and drop a review with your top holiday film—we're reading every pick.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

When you think of Christmas movies, you'll get the classics. It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, Love Actually but towering above them all, year after year, is a film about an eight-year-old boy, an overlooked plane ticket, and two unlucky burglars. Home Alone isn't just a holiday favourite it's the most-watched Christmas movie of all time,Lisa Cannon talks us through this all time Christmas classic movie.

It’s that time of year again Christmas movie season. Barra has done everything he can to dodge Love Actually, and this year he even asked ChatGPT for alternatives… with some very unexpected suggestions.

‘Tis the season you'll find plenty of good holiday movies – films that can be counted upon to deliver warmth and cheer. And bad holiday movies? They can be fun in their own way.

“Christmas Movies with Shaun”It's Christmas time. Why not invite Shaun to a conversation about something we both like. Christmas movies. We randomly found a list of the top 20 of all time and went from there. Some on the list were obvious, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and other more recent ones didn't make the cut like, The Family Stone and The Holiday. There were the earlier ones which I look on fondly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Not so much for Shaun. His nostalgia is for when he was growing up. Makes sense. It's like a Venn diagram. His, mine, and the ones we both like in the middle like Daddy's Home 2. Then there is the newest contender, Spirited. It's a musical with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. My bar for this was so low it was on the ground. Not sure why, no offense to either actor. Maybe it was it being yet another Christmas Carol adaptation. Turns out it was better than I expected and I really did enjoy it. Shaun hasn't seen it yet but he's added it to the list of the ones he wants to watch. And I said I'd check out the sequel to A Christmas Story. Who knows, I may add another to my annual viewing list.

** December er endnu tilbage, og det skaber spænding omkring hvilke julefilm der skal ses i den kolde måned. De typiske klassikerer som ‘Love Actually' og ‘The Holiday' kommer altid i første række, men hvad hvis man er træt af de forældede romancer? Eller hvis man har fået nok af de udvandede intriger? Hvilke julefilm er derude som skriger efter at blive set og elsket?   Frygt ikke, for her kommer tre alternative jule-rom-coms der på hver deres måde er undervurderet og forbiset. Hvad kan de bringe til bordet, og er de i sidste ende værd at se? Det snakker Filmmagasinet Nosferatu om i dag med den hyggelige ‘While You Were Sleeping' (1995), den mirakuløse ‘Serendipity' (2001) og den tidløse ‘A Biltmore Christmas' (2023).  Så find dine hyggesokker frem, hent jødekagerne fra skabet, og bryg en varm kop julete, mens den nye juleklassiker bliver kåret.  Værter: Andrea Vibenfeld, Bolette Larsen og Victoria Magdalena Christensen.  Klipper: Bolette Larsen **

Christmas can be a hard time of year for folk, especially writers...Anyway, here we are, taking a look at Lynne Ramsay's MORVERN CALLAR: her second feature film about a young woman, her fiancé, her pal, and a quick trip to Spain in the New Year. You're probably thinking to yourself, "This sounds like LOVE ACTUALLY or something," but let's be real, this is LYNNE RAMSAY we're talking about here. It's dark, it's unforgiving, it's strange, and it looks really nice... Merry Christmas, everyone!

Det er juletid, og Poptillægget genudsender det bedste fra arkivet hver dag fra 1. til 24. december. Afsnittet er oprindeligt udgivet d 22. december 2023. Den dejlige og rædselsfulde juleklassiker ’Love Actually’ fylder rundt, og tiden har ikke ligefrem klædt den. Der mangler en del samtykke, ligestilling i hjemmet og på arbejdspladsen, og der er absolut ingen diversitet, når vi kigger på seksualitet og etnicitet. Hvorfor er den så alligevel ikke røget ud i glemslen? I denne uges Poptillæg rangerer vi den klassiske jule-rom-coms forskellige storylines. Vi taler om, hvad der gør filmen både magisk og helt og aldeles rædselsfuld. For ’Love Actually’ er begge dele. Frygteligt selskab og helt enormt godt selskab. Præcis som julen, livet og året 2023. Derfor slutter vi året af med at gøre status over juleklassikeren, der nægter at gå i glemslen, uanset hvor ufattelig dårligt tiden klæder den.

Everyone talks about self-love like it's a destination you reach after enough bubble baths and affirmations. But what if the real work of loving yourself is learning to stop abandoning who you are every time you enter a relationship? What if being "the loving one" has actually cost you more than you've been willing to admit? In this raw, solo episode, Lisa dismantles everything you thought you knew about unconditional love, self-love, and what it takes to be in a healthy relationship without losing yourself in the process. She challenges the narrative that many of us, especially women, were raised with: that being loving means holding it all together, forgiving everything, and sacrificing yourself to make it work. Drawing from her own journey of overgiving, abandoning herself, and ultimately setting boundaries in her current relationship after a major wake-up call, Lisa reveals why unconditional love has a place (with your children) but becomes toxic when applied to adult romantic relationships. She breaks down the difference between compassion for someone's humanity and tolerating harmful behavior, between loving someone deeply and staying when it costs you who you are. This isn't about becoming cold or withholding love. It's about understanding that healthy love, both with yourself and others, requires discernment, reciprocity, and boundaries. It's about learning to meet yourself with the same compassion you've been giving everyone else, and recognizing that the relationship you have with yourself is the blueprint for every relationship you'll ever have. In this episode, Lisa reveals: Why unconditional love in romantic relationships often means you're abandoning yourself (and calling it devotion) The specific cost of overgiving in relationships and how it erodes your self-trust How forgiveness without repair is just using spirituality to avoid reality The difference between loving someone's humanity and having conditions for access, partnership, and intimacy Why boundaries don't block love, they protect it (and make love sustainable) What healthy, mature love actually looks like: reciprocal, boundaried, grounded, accountable, spacious, and intentional How to recognize when you're mistaking tolerance for love and endurance for devotion The only real antidote to shame (and why most high-achievers struggle to give it to themselves) Why self-integrity, keeping promises to yourself, is the foundation of self-love and self-trust How to love someone deeply and still walk away if staying costs you who you are The reflection questions that will show you exactly where you're out of alignment in your relationships This episode is for you if you've ever: Found yourself overgiving in relationships, always being the one who repairs, carries, and sacrifices Believed that being loving meant forgiving everything without requiring accountability or repair Lost yourself in a relationship because you were so focused on not losing the other person Said yes to things you didn't want to do, shrinking yourself to be liked or chosen Felt resentful in your relationship but kept telling yourself you just need to be more loving Struggled to set boundaries because you equated boundaries with being cold or withholding Extended endless compassion to others but met yourself with criticism when you fell short Wondered why you can show up with such compassion for everyone else but can't seem to give it to yourself Built a relationship that looks good on the outside but inside you've abandoned who you are Knew you needed to leave a relationship but kept staying because you loved them (even though it was costing you everything) About Lisa Carpenter Lisa Carpenter is a Master Life Coach and host of the Congruent podcast.

If you heard yourself in this episode, if you recognized the pattern of overgiving and calling it devotion, if you've been mistaking tolerance for love and endurance for commitment, it's time to get honest about what this is costing you. Because here's the truth: you can love someone with your whole heart and still feel unseen, unsafe, and disconnected. You can love someone deeply and still completely lose yourself in the process. And the highest form of love has to include you. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the relationships you've built and what you're actually feeling inside them. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in overgiving, the wounds driving your need to earn love through sacrifice, and what it's going to take for you to finally create relationships (including the one with yourself) that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. In 15 minutes, we'll pinpoint where you're abandoning yourself, what's driving that pattern, and the single biggest shift that will change everything. Because you didn't come this far to keep losing yourself in every relationship you enter. Book your Congruency Audit: lisacarpenter.ca/audit This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the relationships you're in don't require you to disappear. Success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside starts with you including yourself in the love you give.   If you listen on Spotify:  Open the Spotify app on your phone.

 “What would you do if you discovered a masterpiece lost for 400 years hidden in your own home?” That's just one of the wild questions Sandy and Tricia tackle in this episode of The Sandy Show, where every moment is a blend of laughter, heart, and a dash of mischief. Join Sandy and Tricia as they serve up a whirlwind of stories—from the hilarious (and slightly evil) Christmas parenting hacks to the heartfelt campaign to free Betty, the world's most depressed circus elephant. Tricia surprises everyone by siding with PETA, championing the clever idea for Alice in Chains to become “Betty in Chains” for a month. “Let Betty go. She's done her time,” Tricia declares, sparking a conversation that's as passionate as it is poignant. Relive the magic of holiday movies as the duo reveals which Christmas classics are returning to the big screen, and laugh along as they debate whether “Love Actually” truly counts as a Christmas movie. Nostalgia runs deep as Sandy and Tricia reminisce about old-school movie outings, complete with newspaper listings and spontaneous ticket window decisions. The episode doesn't shy away from the quirky and the relatable—like the debate over the perfect winter thermostat setting (“68 degrees? That sounds like a freaking tinderbox to me!”), the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year (“rage bait”), and the confessions of following people online just to stay annoyed. Listeners are treated to playful banter, including the infamous “dirty legging” accusation and a shout-out to loyal podcast fans who stuck around through Thanksgiving. With memorable moments, witty exchanges, and genuine heart, this episode captures the essence of The Sandy Show: real conversations, real laughs, and real life.Notable Quotes:“Let Betty go. She's done her time.”“I don't trust any animal that can poop and walk at the same time.”“68 degrees? That sounds like a freaking tinderbox to me!”“You're a grudge guy. Why do I hang out with you?”“Do us a solid and copy and paste the link to this episode and send it to a friend or two.”Call-to-Action:Loved the show?

This week we talk about what it means for love to really last. Every couple begins their marriage believing the best. We picture “for better” but rarely imagine “for worse.” Yet Scripture reminds us that real love is not built on chemistry or convenience. It is built on commitment.Every marriage goes through seasons. Spring brings excitement and growth. Summer is full of energy and busyness. Fall brings change and challenge. And winter can feel cold and quiet. But mature love learns to endure every season, trusting that God is still working when life looks barren.Message 811.23.2025

After a wild week in No.10 Downing Street, host Patrick Baker takes listeners on a podcast tour of the famous building to find out how the hell a cobbled-together Georgian townhouse is meant to run a modern state. Patrick asks how the rabbit warren layout influences those who govern the country, for better or worse. In one of his first interviews since stepping down, former Cabinet Secretary Simon Case opens up on how the building is less-than-ideal for the demands of modern government — with problems like losing the PM all-too-common. Case argues its layout contributed to the Partygate scandal that toppled Boris Johnson. The set designer of the film “Love Actually,” Jim Clay, recounts a tour given to him by Gordon Brown so he could memorise the layout  — and commentates on Hugh Grant as he boogies down the Grand Staircase.     Jack Brown, author of “The Power of Geography at No 10,” gives a step-by-step tour, taking us inside the pokey “Den,” the prime minister's office at the heart of Downing Street.  POLITICO Political Editor Dan Bloom explains why Keir Starmer prefers working in open-plan offices — and shares some secrets from rooms you've never heard of. Beatrice Timpson, former deputy press secretary to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, shares her sympathy for those in the policy unit, seen as banished to the rafters of Number 10. And she reveals the constant battle for phone signal that rages at the heart of British power.  John McTernan, who served as political secretary to Tony Blair, reveals stories from the Number 10 flat — and sets out what the current government must do to overcome the limitations of the building.
