Well, Here We Are

A weekly podcast which explores pop culture, the humanities, and how they matter for our daily lives. Each week, your hosts (Hannah and Suzanne) share three (ish) things as we engage with all that delights, intrigues, and sometimes repels us; both in our areas of shared interest (ex: football, makeup, Jane Austen, Schitt’s Creek, and wine) as well as our individual specialties (ex: art history, museum studies, film, and theology). Join for the topics, stay for the conversation, and enjoy our correct opinions. Twitter: @wellherepod; Instagram: wellherepod

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

April 08, 2025 • Hannah & Suzanne • Season 3 • Episode 14

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
