Episode 3: You've Got Mail (1998)

“It was personal to me. It’s personal to a lot of people. I mean, what is so wrong with being personal anyway?”

-You’ve Got Mail (1998)

You've got mail! Or rather, a podcast. That's right, a new episode of our Ryan Romps miniseries is out today, completing the Tom Hanks Hat Trick. Goodbye, Tom, you've performed your duties well, but soon Meg will have new screen partners to work with, new pastures to discover.

But first we conclude the Ryan/Hanks trilogy with...what else? You've Got Mail! It took three tries, but our intrepid protagonists will finally be spending an entire movie engaging in normal conversation. Albeit quite argumentative and bitter conversation.

Can hatred turn into love? Can love triumph over capitalist business practices? Is it wrong to pretend to be somebody else on the internet in order to get closer to that girl you're interested in? Yes to all three! But as to how we feel about all that, you'll have to listen in to find out.
