Gwyneth Paltrow's fourth 1998 movie was the thriller A Perfect Murder, a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder. She plays Emily, a U.N. translator who survives her husband's attempt to kill her and then works to uncover his plot. We're joined by writer and Who? Weekly co-host Bobby Finger to talk about Gwyneth taking on a more active role than Grace Kelly's, and how this movie may mark the moment Michael Douglas stopped being charming. Plus: accidental fetish content, the Operation Dumbo Drop soundtrack, and Roger Ebert's bugaboos.

Gwyneth Paltrow went British again for the 1998 romantic dramedy Sliding Doors, where she plays a woman named Helen who is living two different timelines after missing (or not missing) her train. We're joined by writer and film historian Marya E. Gates to talk about Gwyneth embracing dual roles, and why this movie continues to linger in the cultural consciousness. Plus: the invention of stan culture, clashing with Carolyn Bessette, and explaining the musical If/Then.

Plus: the ugliest house in America, death by bees, and Dakota Johnson's affability.

We're joined by writer Julieanne Smolinski to talk about Gwyneth leaning into her coldness to play an icy female lead, and why this movie's failure can't really be blamed on Titanic. Plus: horny green dresses, non-committal Letterboxd reviews, and Bob Odenkirk's little women.
