About this episode
Nick and Sophia are back with another movie trade to discuss the contentious 1998 Best Picture race between 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Shakespeare in Love.' Did Spielberg's epic patriotic WWII film (1:13) deserve to win over the fictionalized tale of Shakespeare writing "Romeo and Juliet" whilst simultaneously living out its romance IRL? (30:47) After discussing the films separately, they answer some listener questions and decide if The Academy got it right (47:22).
