Release Date Rewind: You've Got Mail (25th anniversary)

Start the dial-up and get your fingers ready because we're signing onto the world wide web to chat with strangers! A/S/L? Mark welcomes longtime friend, New Yorker, and You've Got Mail superfan Melissa Ward back to the show to celebrate the classic rom-com's 25th anniversary this month. This is an extra special episode not only because they're together in person but also because they're recording from a fancy hotel room, not from Mark's basement! They share thoughts on AOL chatrooms and screen names, Meg Ryan's hair, Tom Hanks' charm even when he's hiding a big secret, and Nora Ephron's delightful dialogue and direction. Long live Barnes & Noble!
#ReleaseDateRewind is hosted and produced by Mark J. Parker. The show logo is designed by Straw Hut Media, inspired by Greg Clements' art, and the theme song is by Kyle Motsinger and producer Smoke & Mirrors.

I enjoyed this. Thanks! Seems like Melissa and I have similar tastes. Anyways, you mentioned that You Got Mail! would make a good musical. Well, "She Loves Me" has already been revived on Broadway and it is based on the same source material as YGM.

Thanks so much! Yes, I need to finally check out She Loves Me sometime. I've heard great things about that classic show. It would still be fun to see a specific You've Got Mail adaptation on stage, with the computer screens projected and all that.
