An Earful of Convoy/Cocktail/You've Got Mail/Jumper

Howdy pardner, saddle up for the "Summer of You've Got Mail"! We've got ourselves a heaping helping of film analysis today, with a veritable bounty of scenes: extras are a-loading up their oysters at the dear-departed Ocean Grill, the ballet of commerce is a-underway at the flowers market, and the styrofoam cups are a-flowing at Gray's Papaya. But most importantly, it's open season for vicious zings on NY152: we grade Joe and Kathleen's efforts, and even attempt to manufacture our own, in the special segment "We Come Up With Our Own NY152 Insults"

It's June 2021, and COVID is finally over! Let's celebrate California being open for business, as we exit the cyberworld and have our first Earful back in the same room! A big episode for analysis, as Joe makes a Friend Request, forcibly shuts Kathleen's mouth, and enters his internet-capable hacker den. We complement the analysis with innovative fan theories and uncover mysterious book covers, as well as some... tweaking. Also, a heartfelt retirement from email. Featuring the popular segments "The Set Up", "The Feuding Section", "2008 Film Update", "Release Schedule", and "Pepsi Segment".

Have you ever been with a single podcast that fills your heart with joy? Well, get ready for episode 20 of An Earful of You've Got Mail, in which the Earful gang cracks open a rather light episode: Joe Fox is on his Travis Bickle-like march, and we dive deep into address logistics, buzzer box conduits, and the healing power of George. Also featuring our exciting Top Ten countdown: "Looking Forward to 2008", to be followed by a series of squeetstorms (AKA "squeens")

The Earful Crew is burning the midnight oil to bring you the 19th five minutes of You've Got Mail, and it's a momentous one! The Shop Around the Corner is closed for good, and that means only three things: MOPE MOPE MOPE! Kathleen flips the Closing Sign (we introduce our new project "Supersonic"), and immediately becomes a femcel antinatalist. Meanwhile, we're Dockside Foxside at the 19th Street Boat Basin, conducting an intensive #BoatBarAnalysis, the softball team is goosestepping ominously, Matt is home alone, and the Storybook Person is open for business! Also featuring the popular segment "Beep Beep Beep Read the Tweets".

If you're looking for an ep to cope with the Suez Canal blockage, and to prepare for White Boy Summer, look no further! In these five minutes, we learn about the famously flawless taste of Kathleen Kelly, (contrasted with the piggish, disgusting ignorance of Fox Books employees), and dig into contingencies of elevator protocol. The perfect episode to close out March 2021, the month we're currently in!

In a first-ever podcast event, the Earful Gang is joined by a GUEST... in cyberspace! Joining via a chatroom-voice-to-text bridge (presented by Wells Fargo), Diego shares his hate of Kathleen Kelly, as we pick apart the 17th five minutes of YGM. The Shop liquidates, Frank and Kathleen part amicably, and the Fox fox leers lecherously; meanwhile, we analyze just *how* racist Kathleen is, talk about the joys of loitering at Barnes and Noble, and scope out the competition, as we pick apart the YGM analysis at Slate's "Decoder Ring." You'll have a good time, we can't help ourselves!

In an episode many are calling "our most poorly-paced yet", the Earful Gang is back to analyze (eventually, be patient) the 16th five minutes of YGM, and it just may strain your CPU! (Send syslogs, please.) Joe Fox deletes up a storm (we count the keys), Intel stock is soaring (we read the ticker), Birdie dates fascists (we dig deep into Francoist Spain), and Alan turns a video into a GIF (we outline the steps)‒just watch out for the idle timeouts! Also featuring the historic vindication of Michelle (of Terry & Michelle fame). Michelle, we're so sorry!

Gather round, and you shall hear the Earful Gang sing The Ballad of the Rooftop Killer (with a-ccompaniment on live harmonica!) In these five minutes of film, Robert Underwood gets framed for murder (by Rudy Giuliani and George), Joe shows off some sick macros, and Birdie gets spooky. Meanwhile, we pick apart the controversy of Champion Fairewood Frolic (registered name or called name: which counts?), go over the day's news (the day being February 18, 1998), and send two emails to Chip Davis's publicists. And best of all: website now secure! (Also featuring popular segment "The Set-Up".)

We ring in the new year with another episode of Earful: the easiest just got easier! In this ep, we breach the veritable "third rail" of "You've Got Mail" (1998) analysis: talking about vertical service codes: *70? *57? *86? They're all here! But that's not all: we crack open the fourteenth five minutes of the film, and ask the big questions. Did Joe Fox lie? Can an express train suck you onto the tracks? Is a "Mochaccino-land" good or bad? And: will you be mean to him, too? Episode features important updates about the 1998 Federal Transportation Reauthorization bill, as well as Hervey's Aunt Beth's memories of seeing YGM, and also contains the sort of core/periphery analysis you'll find nowhere else! (Additional segments include "Our Feud Update", AKA "Our Feud".)

If you're in search of the perfect combination of poetry and meanness, look no further! Earful is back, and we're deep into cross-textual analysis: in addition to a typically incisive analysis of a YGM chunk (Joe Fox shakes a fence, Kathleen re-ups on tea), we crack open multiple additional texts‒first diving deep into the themes of Ernst Lubitsch's "The Shop Around the Corner", then plunging into the work of Miklós László's "Parfumerie", and finally reading the back cover summary of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". But don't worry: we still have plenty of time to analyze the chair management at Cafe Lalo's (with more detail than any other competing podcast). Also featuring the popular sements "We Taste-test Skittles Dips" and "We Write An Email" (AKA "Email Time").
