CATEGORY: ENGAGED TO THE WRONG DUDE      

                                             

This week we cover 'Sleepless in Seattle'! The 1993 Nora Ephron rom-com starring everyone's favorite duo: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan! We discuss the romance of stalking, the rainy charm of Seattle, whether people ate tiramisu in the 90s, what celebrities LOVE Victor Garber, and and whether kids really are the ultimate matchmakers or if Nora is just manipulating our emotions. Plus we'll dig into whether Bill Pullman's character was really that bad, or just a guy with allergies? And we gush over an adorable young Gabby Hoffman and a wry as ever Rosie O'Donnell.
