Episode 5: Oscar in Error

This week we watched the Oscar-winning 1998 rom-com Shakespeare in Love.

Despite what Molly referred to as the "matching chips on our shoulders" about this movie, we actually enjoyed it. It's just that our sense of right and wrong prevents us from getting all the way to fandom, since there was another Elizabethan-era film from the same year that got passed over that is FULLY ICONIC in our minds.

'memba when GOOP beat Cate Blanchett? CATE. BLANCHETT? AS ELIZABETH?! 

Here are a few notes from this episode/generally about this movie: 

Lindsay's take: 4 out of 5 STOLEN OSCARS. I do have to admit that this one is still a good time, even though my loyalties will ever lie with Elizabeth. The soundtrack to this one is also p good. 

Molly's take: It's good. It's good. IT'S NOT AN OSCAR MOVIE. 4 out of 5 Joseph Fiennes' Lash Magic Extensions For Men.

(Next week we'll tackle the 2003 banger Mona Lisa Smile, in case you want to watch ahead of time.)
