OK, we finally get to watch The Princess Bride! As one might expect, it was a challenge to find someone who hadn’t seen the movie but with a little work, we found Megan Ealain, who agreed to join us and watch the movie for the first time! If you’ve never seen this 1980’s fantasy/comedy gem before, you should definitely do so before you listen to the episode. If you have seen it before (more likely), you can enjoy our stories about the film and even Tim’s story about meeting one of the actors!
Next up, we are going to follow Peter Falk to The Great Race!

We continue down the Werner Herzog rabbit hole this week to watch Fitzcarraldo! A movie that was years in the making, this is one of those films where the story of the making of the movie is possibly more interesting than the film itself. Don’t let that statement fool you, though, the movie is a spectacular journey into the Amazon jungle and one man’s madness. Or, if you include Werner Herzog, possibly two men. If you want to move a boat over a mountain, sometimes you have to make a movie.
Having watched Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone tackle the same story, this episode considers John Broderick’s take on the same material. We know what you’re thinking: who is John Broderick? Exactly. Frequent guest Kelvin Hatle joins us for a sword and sandal retelling of Yojimbo that is, in almost every conceivable way, a complete disaster.
