Oz and Curtis are brushing up on their fencing, studying the nuances of the "True Love" vs. "Mostly Dead" debate, and hoping they don't get stuck in the Fire Swamp to break down the legendary Rob Reiner masterpiece: The Princess Bride!

A grandfather readies a story for his skeptical grandson about Buttercup (Robin Wright), a beautiful young woman, and Westley (Cary Elwes), the farm boy who loves her. After Westley is seemingly killed by pirates, Buttercup is betrothed to the vile Prince Humperdinck. What follows is an epic journey involving a giant, a Spanish fencing master (Mandy Patinkin), a genius kidnapper, and a Dread Pirate who is far more than he seems.

We break down why this film is the gold standard for Fantasy Comedy: the sheer density of iconic one-liners, the incredible ensemble cast (including the heart of the film, Andre the Giant), the perfect blend of satire and sincerity, and the fact that Inigo Montoya’s revenge speech still gives us chills decades later. Is The Princess Bride the most quotable Cult Classic of all time and a perfect movie, or just a movie that proves "As You Wish" is the most romantic thing you can ever say to a farm boy? Tune in for our full The Princess Bride 1987 movie review!

If you’re into analyzing screenwriting perfection, appreciating films that successfully mock the genres they belong to, or listening to two dudes who would definitely panic and surrender immediately to the Brute Squad, this episode is for you.
