Once upon a time, a girl named Becky watched a movie named “Love, Actually.” While most people react to said film with smiles and even reverence, Becky reacted with sadness ☹️, nausea 🤮, and even anger 🤬.
One year ago, Merie and Becky sat down to talk about this film as a part of their “12 Fears of Christmas.” The full episode had to be edited down to 15 minutes, thus inducing more ☹️, 🤮, and 🤬 in Becky, who really wants you to understand the horror show that is this movie, and experience her rage in all its 30-minute “bipedal vagina” glory (agony?). She really, REALLY hates this movie.
Your pod-coasts also offer the same unedited treatment for the episode with Merie’s attempts to diagnose Becky’s Love, Actually Psychological Condition. Find it on the BONUS page when you subscribe↑↑↑!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
