In this festive episode of Betches Video Club, the Scream Queens sit down to unwrap one of the most iconic holiday movies of all time, ‘Love Actually.’ From Hugh Grant’s dance routine to Emma Thompson’s devastating Joni Mitchell moment, the crew breaks down every questionable power dynamic and messy detail that doesn’t stop anyone from rewatching every 👏single 👏year. Even though the Screen Queens have deep nostalgia for this movie (with a gay awakening or two along the way) the constant body-shaming jokes get a little exhausting, but it was 2003. They unpack behind-the-scenes details like Olivia Olson having to sing “worse” because she was too good and the film’s infamous posterboard scene with Keira Knightley’s hat allegedly hiding a giant zit. The Screen Queens share their own first “I love you” stories and debate whether the holiday season is the best or cruelest time to break up with someone. Finally, the crew answers the ultimate question: Is ‘Love Actually’ messy or perfect because it’s so messy?
Join us next week as we pre-game the holidays with the much anticipated ‘Wicked: For Good’! Did we lose our minds? Stay tuned to find out!
