Episode 114 - Shakespeare in Love

Former theater kid Will Olsen joins me to discuss the Best Picture Winner that has always unfairly been crapped on, the charming 1998 comedy Shakespeare in Love. This is one of those movies I have always wanted to cover on Staff Picks, just because I don't understand why everyone seems to be down on it so much. It almost ALWAYS gets mentioned as one of the worst Best Picture winners. Meanwhile, I've watched this movie dozens of times over the years, and I find it so charming. In fact, it's one of the rare movies I can think of that's basically flawless.

Even if you don't think Shakespeare in Love should have beaten Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture, I still think you have to admit it's really damn good at what it does. And that's why I wanted to an episode about it. Just looking at it from a writer's point of view, this is one of the best written movies I've ever seen. It's so good!
