Episode 11 - You've Got Mail

We all know the awful sound of connecting to dial-up. But
can you imagine a whole movie as painful as that? Yeah? Then join
us as we tear apart the sickly-sweet 1998 romantic comedy about
two people conducting emotional affairs: "You've Got Mail." This
box office blockbuster pulled in a quarter of a billion dollars
by making infidelity look like a fun walk through Central Park in
the fall.


Tom Hanks plays "NY152," a successful executive for a chain
of mega-bookstores who has everything—except the most important
thing of all: true love. Meg Ryan plays "Shopgirl," a perky pixie
of a woman who runs a small bookstore, yet secretly wonders if
she hasn't dared to dream big enough.


Hang out with us as we discuss the magic of having a pen pal, if
the patent for sharpened dildos is still available, our loving
homage to the memory of Nora Ephron, and the cathartic joys of
burning down orphanages.


Yes, you read that correctly. Don't worry; it's a good time.
