Posted February 08th, 2010, 11:02 AM by Alison Willmore

“Valentine’s Day” touts 19 famous names above its title — but the real star, of course, is love.

This week on the IFC News podcast, we discuss the tradition of the large ensemble film into which “Valentine’s Day” fits, look at how instead of one main character they tend to be centered on a setting (“Nashville”), a theme (“Crash”) or trauma (“The Great New Wonderful”), and unveil what “Love Actually” and “The Grudge” have in common.
