Notting Hill (1999) with Adam Wadsworth

Jack and Nora are joined by actor Adam Wadsworth to discuss #5 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Notting Hill. In this episode, Nora wants Hugh Grant to pour orange juice on her, Jack wants everyone to watch Cruel Intentions, and Adam wants the “softcore glamour” of the actor’s life. Head to Portobello Road Market, pick out a travel book, and let’s have a surreal but nice time!

Topics include:

• The brilliance of Julia Roberts’ performance as Anna Scott
• The who’s who of British comic actors who appear in this film
• Our pitch for a Notting Hill prequel

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Were the 90s the best decade for movies?
• Were the 90s the worst decade for fashion?
• Has William Thacker ever left the United Kingdom?
