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
