About this episode
Ethan and Mike analyze the film Shakespeare in Love to determine its merit as a Best Picture winner.
Welcome to Rom Com month! We're kicking this off with Shakespeare in Love. A movie that won Best Picture back when it was released because Harvey Weinstein poured a ton of money into promoting it. Or is it actually because it's a good movie? Ethan and Mike take a look at the period piece to see how it holds up.
