Woody Adjacent - Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan - When Harry Met Sally (1989)

from The Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast · host Don Wunder of Planet Tyro

Seasons Greetings All!   We are still recovering from the jolliest of seasons.. and that horrible trip we shared with Alex on our last discussion >_<   But today we are going to talk about one of the most celebrated Romantic Comedy's of all time.. right up there with Anne Hall in our humble opinion   I called it low hanging fruit for a discussion.. that doesn't mean the fruit itself is not oozing with all the flavours needed for a great conversation!   In the iconic romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally" (1989), Billy Crystal portrays Harry Burns, a cynical writer firmly believing men and women can't truly be friends due to the "sex thing" always getting in the way. Meg Ryan plays Sally Albright, a quick-witted journalist who fiercely disagrees. Their paths first cross as recent college graduates sharing a bumpy car ride from Chicago to New York, where their opposing views ignite a spirited debate.   Years pass, and fate throws them together again at various points in their lives. Through chance encounters, both find themselves in relationships while still drawn to each other's sharp wit and intellectual connection. Along with their best friends (Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby), they navigate the complexities of modern dating, heartbreak, and the ever-present tension between Harry's skepticism and Sally's longing for genuine connection. As the years unfold, their arguments and banter become laced with a growing emotional vulnerability.   Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting   Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Harry_Met_Sally...   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098635/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/when_harry_met_sally   ____________________   A VERY Special Thanks to The Woody Allen Pages Website & The Woody Allen Subreddit for the continued support and info – check them out for the latest from the Woody Allen Fan Community!!   https://www.woodyallenpages.com     &    https://www.reddit.com/r/woodyallen   PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS OR ANY OTHER EPISODE USING OUR COMMENT SECTION VIDEO LINK HERE   >>>>>>>  https://bit.ly/warpcom   IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BUYING US A COFFEE / GIVING US A TIP VIA OUR PATREON CAMPAIGN  >>> https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro   Thanks for listening as always - we would also LOVE a review on iTunes or a 5 star rating via Spotify or whichever podcast platform you are listening on - please find all our connected links below.   >>>   https://linktr.ee/woodyretro
