Episode description
The Princess Bride (1987)
Journey back to 1987 Chicago, where a sick young boy is unexpectedly enchanted by a fairy tale read to him by his grandfather… and 2019 Seattle and Portland, where Dan and Jon revisited this beloved classic amid new rumors of a remake, and examine what makes this film so special to people. Dan and Jon discuss their qualms with the film, while Dan somehow connects its plot to George W. Bush and 9/11. Jon also shares his ideas for ways to expand the Princess Bride universe while advocating for more accurate cultural representation in casting.
