Gravy Train: You've Got Mail vs. Thanksgiving
Two Thanksgiving movies about corporate greed and anonymity — it's You've Got Mail vs. Thanksgiving.
You've Got Mail and Thanksgiving are both set against the holiday season and both are quietly obsessed with corporate power and the danger of not knowing who you're really dealing with. Emily draws a line between Nora Ephron's cozy rom-com and Eli Roth's slasher about Black Friday carnage, revealing how anonymity and capitalism connect two films that couldn't feel more different on the surface.
A perfect listen for the post-turkey food coma.
