Sleepless in Seattle (1993) with Alexa Morden
Notes de l’épisode
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?
