Lisa and Charles Adrian round off their holiday season with one of the most beloved rom coms ever made. Which, they decide, might not actually be a rom com. This episode was not supposed to be a take down of Sleepless In Seattle but that is what it has turned into. Sorry not sorry.   Sleepless In Seattle Year: 1993 Screenplay by: Nora Ephron, David S. Ward, Jeff Arch Based on a story by: Jeff Arch Director: Nora Ephron Stars: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Bill Pullman, Ross Malinger, Rosie O’Donnell   Show notes:   Straightforwardly plumping for magic over security and for fantasy over reality, Sleepless In Seattle is for sure a film about yearning and it is certainly very funny and beautifully written and well-made, but is it romantic? We prepare to upset literally millions of fans by arguing that this film is not the rom com that it purports to be and that it is, in fact, about a woman who abuses her position as a journalist to stalk a man who is still mourning his dead wife.   We mention the films An Affair To Remember (1957) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050105/), Joe Versus The Volcano (1990) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), While You Were Sleeping (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114924/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), When Harry Met Sally (1989) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098635/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), You’ve Got Mail (1998) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128853/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) and Fatal Attraction (1987) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093010/).   We record these episodes over the internet.
