“Shakespeare in Love” RevisitedGwyneth Paltrow did drag and struck Oscar gold with her turn in 1998’s Shakespeare in Love. The John Madden film was a sexy rom com about a fictionalized love affair involving some guy named William Shakespeare. Oscar nominations and box office bucks followed. But now, decades later, was it all much ado about not much? Does all the lovey-dovey love scenes and endless poetry still affect our jaded hearts? And did this movie deserve to beat Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture? The Old Roommates grab their quills and give it all a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
