The Princess Bride does not mean what you think it means? INCONCEIVABLE!

In today’s episode, Emily has some deep thoughts about the most quotable fairy tale ever written: The Princess Bride. Emily shares her theory that the film is both neurodivergent-friendly and a masterclass in brilliant storytelling–even though it miserably fails the Bechdel Test. Meanwhile, Tracie and Emily discuss the ways the film does Buttercup dirty and why she would have brained the R.O.U.S. under a different director.

Join us! We’ll have fun storming the castle and learning about the deeper meaning behind this eminently rewatchable film.

(Note: we had some issues with audio, especially Tracie's, in this episode. It's still worth the listen!)
