    Suzsplaining: "When Harry Met Sally" in a Post-Romantic World

    In 2025, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reprised their roles from When Harry Met Sally for a Superbowl commercial and co-presented at the Academy Awards, also referencing their movie together. What makes the legacy of this almost 36-year old film endure and how do we look at that legacy differently in what some scholars refer to as a "post-romantic" age?  Suzanne monologues, Hannah encourages, and they both get a little sad about the state of millennial romance.  Suzanne's film recommendations Sleeping With Other People (2015) - aka WHMS where the attraction is explicit Plus One (2019) - aka WHMS with more millennial angst (and Meg Ryan's son!) Rye Lane (2023) - aka WHMS as strangers Max and Molli in the Future (2024) - aka WHMS in space Want to give us some dollars? We'll allow it. Link goes to a donation platform on our website.
