If Peter Howitt was still in his twenties I believe he would've made a fine Booster Gold. He's so good looking.

302 - Sliding Doors (with Bobby Finger)

We're talking about Gwyneth Paltrow's red hot 1998 this week and who better to join us than author and Who? Weekly co-host Bobby Finger?! With a slew of movies to aid her ascendancy, Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't having a moment in 1998, she was the moment. It all kicked off with the Sundance debut of romcom Sliding Doors, a film that cast Paltrow as a woman whose fate is determined by whether or not she makes the subway. Showing us both what happens if she does or doesn't make that train, the film made Paltrow a buzzy figure, but itself was usurped as an awards vehicle by Shakespeare in Love.

This week, we talk about the concept of having "a Sliding Doors moment" and how the film is much wilder than we remembered it. We also talk about Bobby's new book Four Squares, Paltrow's Oscar season SNL hosting duties, and the film introducing us all to "Thank You" by Dido.

Topics also include video rental store wall real estate, Miramar, and the formative vibes of Richard Curtis.
