Tapeheads

Lyndsey selects her VHS copy of Nora Ephron's 1998 romantic comedy You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Talking points: You've Got Mail is better than Sleepless in Seattle. A dated AOL reference. The soundtrack. Shop Around the Corner. Book stores. The golden age of romantic comedies. What was the last good rom-com? The cafe scene. Gendered interests. The finale. Dial-up internet. Quirky co-workers. Buy it/rent it/tape over it. Werewolves again.
