Halfway through the lengthy slog that is The Green Mile, we knew we’d made a mistake. This was a movie that received multiple Academy Award nominations and made hundreds of millions of dollars, but it … wasn’t any good. Even worse, it wasn’t really worth discussing.

So like all good content creators, we pivoted. Join us on this jam-packed episode of the podcast as we bat around “Tom Hanks as a pleasant prison guard” for a little while and then get right to the meat: Hanks as a rich, manipulative bookstore magnate in Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail.

Did we like it more than the maligned Sleepless in Seattle? Did Nora remember how to make Meg Ryan lovable again? And is this the most evil role in all of Hanks’ filmography? We break all that down and more.
