Description

Dial up and Dot-com on down for this Nora Ephron cozy classic. Join Drunk Feminist Films on a journey back to a time when we all thought the internet wasn’t a terrible hellscape.

Starring Tom Hanks as Jeff Bezos and Meg Ryan as the Alive Woman, You’ve Got Mail will remind you that capitalism is a parasite and small business owners are probably better off writing children’s books that will be sold by the corporation that shut them down!

Hosts Scaachi Koul and Nelu Handa will guide us deep into the cinematic Chat Room where we’ll discuss Meg Ryan as an anthropomorphic daisy tasked with choosing between a droning, egotistical pundit and a lying, ruthless capitalist actively working to destroy her family history and livelihood. It’s a bouquet of freshly-sharpened terrible options!

Doors: 7:30pm
Show: 8:30pm

This event is part of a two-night holiday double feature!
