The Episode

This beloved holiday classic might not be what we all remember. We recall Love Actually (2003), a movie we had forgotten is filled with fat shaming, creepy relationships, and seven-too-many plot lines.

I kept referring to Liam Neeson as "Liam Neesons." This is not my joke, it is instead the fantastic work of Key and Peele. I love them. Watch any of their sketches instead of watching this movie.

[Molly adds: There's also THIS amazing Liam Neeson sketch where he does improv with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Warwick Davis. Video clip is 5:31 and worth every second.]

Also, I, Dan Jaquette, claimed scrapple was just garbage meat and couldn't quite remember what else. I should know better, I like knowing facts about Philly. So to clarify, it's garbage pork meat with some spices and thickeners in it, like garbage meatloaf.
