The Princess Bride vs. HappyBeebsMeowMeow

HappyBeebsMeowMeow (or just Beebs) returns to the podcast to discuss another one of her favorite movies, "The Princess Bride". A movie with Christopher Guest and Andre the Giant, how could CatBusRuss⁠ resist?

Ninety For Chill's guest said this was a feature that she knew so well, that she did not require a rewatch. To make sure everyone was in the right headspace, CatBusRuss had the feature running as the two discussed this classic comedy. After the two gush over the brilliance of Rob Reiner's second classic (Russ has not seen "Stand By Me" or "The Sure Thing", but both fit the runtime parameters of the podcast.) they essentially enjoy a virtual viewing of the film. Please do not judge our host too harshly for his attempts to do the dialogue justice.

Russ and Beebs do their best to really understand the genius of this family classic. As Joel Siegel stated, "This is Walt Disney meets Monty Python". That is short changing the efforts of the son of Mel Brooks's original comedy partner, Carl Reiner. "The Princess Bride" is Mel Brooks's humor meets William Goldman's understanding of what makes a perfect screenplay. If Rob Reiner had more features under his belt when he directed this, he may have had the skill to make the best film of all time. The more Russ has seen it, the better it gets. Does Beebs agree?
