Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90s Edition

Ep. 21 | You've Got Mail & We've Got Comfort Food


Listen Later

This week, we’re diving into one of the ultimate comfort movies of the 90s—You’ve Got Mail (1998).

Allison is fully in her element with this one (seriously, this movie is her version of peanut butter), while Hannah experiences the charm, chaos, and dial-up romance for the first time.

We’re talking about:

  • The magic of small bookstores vs. big-box takeovers

  • AOL, dial-up internet, and the iconic “You’ve Got Mail” moment

  • Nora Ephron’s storytelling and why this movie still works

  • That perfect fall-in-New-York feeling

  • And of course… Joe Fox vs. Kathleen Kelly

Plus, we get into the history behind the story, from its origins as a 1930s play to the earlier films it inspired.

So grab your snacks, log on, and join us as we rewind one of the most beloved rom-coms of the 90s.
