Jack and Nora are joined by actor and founder of The 98% Alexa Morden to discuss #15 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Sleepless in Seattle. In this episode, Nora hates people watching her eat, Jack and unnecessary acronyms are “MFEO”, and Alexa is woo-woo enough to believe in fate. Crank up the radio, head to Empire State Building, and let’s be in love (in a movie)!

Topics include:

• Watching 90s romcoms through a contemporary lens
• How Jack and Nora became friends via mild stalking
• Romcoms where the main couple spend almost no time together

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Did any of that long list of actors regret turning down the role of Annie?
• Should Nora date Woody from Toy Story?
