Today, Friday, November 27th, Patrick Flynn (creator of The Original Cast and playwright) & Beth Amann (Managing Director of Monumental Theatre Company) have released the new podcast, What is Love Actually?

The podcast breaks down the 2003 Richard Curtis romantic comedy, Love Actually, storyline by storyline to find out why this movie has become a Christmas classic and if it deserves to be considered as such.

With plenty of nostalgia, opinions, and christmas cheer- this podcast is the perfect holiday season binge.
