In July, 1989, "When Harry Met Sally..." was released. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star in the definitive rom-com of the decade. In this episode, we plumb the depths of this Rob Reiner film, searching for life lessons. We discuss the nature of relationships, cheating, and whether men and women can be friends. This is a pre-sensitivity chip era, so you might get your feelings hurt. But there are lessons in that, as well. Sources “When Harry Met Sally...” 2022. Wikipedia.
