You’ve Got Mail: Meg Ryan, Part 5

Role Calling

"I turn on my computer. I wait impatiently as it connects. I go online, and my breath catches in my chest until I hear three little words: You've got podcast."

This week, Caroline and Ned bring their Meg Ryan series to a close with the 1998 rom-com classic, You've Got Mail. The last in Ryan's trilogy of romances with both Tom Hanks and Nora Ephron, this one adapts a decades-old story for the AOL age. So how does it hold up today? And what happened to Meg Ryan after her '90s heyday? Ned and Caroline break it all down while raising one last toast to the rom-com queen herself.

Stuff we reference in this episode:

• Caroline's column about You've Got Mail
• Meg Ryan's 2019 interview with The New York Times
• Meg Ryan's 2006 interview with Oprah
• The 1990 People Magazine article about the Dennis/Meg breakup
