This week on The VHS Club, we’re heading back to the Elizabethan stage to revisit Shakespeare in Love (1998) — the romantic period drama that somehow beat Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture.
After a recent trip to Shakespeare's Globe, Katie is all about diving back into this nostalgic rewatch. From theater culture and behind-the-scenes storytelling to iconic performances by Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes, we’re diving into what made this movie such a moment in the late 90s.
But the real question is… does it still hold up?
We break down:
– The real history vs. Hollywood fiction
– The performances, romance, and writing
– That controversial Academy Awards win
– And whether this movie is actually worthy of its legacy
Come join us live and share your thoughts and memories.
