The Princess Bride (1987)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

Our next '80s Cult Classic pick is The Princess Bride, and we've got Nate Milton (@N8Mozaik) here to talk about it! After we talk about the "pressure" of covering The Princess Bride, Nate shares his history with the movie. We talk about the "magic tricks" of the story (and framing device) and how it plays with classic tropes. We dunk on Ben Savage a bit, hear some stories about Andre the Giant, and wonder when and where a video game adaptation of this movie came from. We talk about "Dom Toretto" as a title akin to "Dread Pirate Roberts," wonder what happened to Cary Elwes, and share our favorite scenes in the movie. We re-cast this movie if The Rock were to re-make it today. Nate share his top movies of all-time. We watch some weird trailer for The Princess Bride. Nate teases an upcoming collab.
