Episode 277 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a review of The Princess Bride. Tom and and Chris Patton break down how Rob Reiner and William Goldman created a film that balances fairy-tale adventure, sharp satire, and genuine emotion without undercutting any of it. The discussion explores the storybook framing device, the film's unforgettable characters and performances, and why moments like Inigo Montoya's revenge, Westley and Buttercup's romance, and the legendary sword fight still resonate decades later. Does this need any sort of follow-up, or should it be left alone? Dive into that and a lot more!
