FROM THE GAZER VAULT: 'Love Actually' from 2003. Romantic Loveliness or Misogynistic Mess?

Dear Gazers, As Our Dave and Dr Lee are off on holiday there’s no Problematic Gazette this weekend. So instead please enjoy this episode from the Gazer Vault. To ease you into the festive season we focus on the Christmas favourite ‘Love Actually’. But beware, it’s not all cutesy lovehearts and romantic festive fayre, anything but! Enjoy!!Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we break out the mince pies and sherry to watch the British Christmas movie 'Love Actually' from 2003. A word of warning! If this film fills you with festive cheer, prepare to have your nostalgia vibes well and truly violated! This film is what The Problematic Gaze was invented for. Buckle up! Our peace and goodwill runneth on empty!Also, Lee knows his onions when it comes to cold remedies. And Dave brushes up on his extremely rusty customer service skills.We watched Love Actually on Sky Movies.Click here to follow us on our socialsAnd if our fellow Gazers want to comment on what they've heard in our episodes, or to suggest future topics, please email us at [email protected].
