Sleepless in Seattle (EP31) with Ana Golja The Pedestal Podcast

    • Film Reviews

In this episode, we don’t want to be in love, we want to be in love in a movie with the 1993 Nora Ephron romantic comedy SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE.
 
We’re joined by special guest Ana Golja (The Cuban, Degrassi: The Next Class) and after Pops explains why “The Cable Guy” is what first drew him to this movie, we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how, despite the title, the movie is truly a cross-country epic. We get into how much we love Hanks, how the side characters all pulled their weight too, and how the movie had some genuinely laugh out loud jokes. We then move onto the case for knocking it off the pedestal with a massive Meg Ryan debate. We talk about the movie’s very saggy middle, we wonder whether the movie’s mood doesn’t match its plot, and Shane and Pops try to punch up the climactic Empire State scene.
