Michael and Us: A "You've Got Mail" Symposium (w/ Meagan Day and Branko Marcetic)

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. Some topics are too vast, too vital for us to cover on our own. Today, we address one such topic. We invited Jacobin Magazine's Meagan Day and Branko Marcetic for a roundtable discussion of Nora Ephron's YOU'VE GOT MAIL (1998), starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. We discover that this parable for gentrification may be the key to all of politics and culture in the 1990s. PLUS: thoughts on the Harris-Pence VP debate and the famous fly."Want to Know What a Return to 'Normal' Will Look Like? Stare Into Mike Pence's Dead Eyes" by Branko Marcetic - https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/10/mike-pence-vp-vice-presidential-debate-trump (https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/10/mike-pence-vp-vice-presidential-debate-trump)
