The Capsule '98 Podcast: Let's Talk About Romantic Comedy

On this episode, we're talking all about one of the defining film genres of the '90s: Romantic Comedy. From Notting Hill to You've Got Mail, they've been etched into our minds, so much so that Elizabeth Sankey directed an entire documentary about them! She joins me from London as we lol through a questionable history of impossibly charming cinematic love.
