Ever wondered why it took fourteen years for a cult classic to hit the big screen? We dive into the inconceivable truth behind William Goldman’s metafictional masterpiece and the billionaire who saved it!
Hear Tom break down the bizarre literary hoax of S. Morgenstern! Hear Jen reveal the secret behind that ending wink! Hear Joe recount the tragedy of his daughter losing interest after Vizzini’s demise! This episode is a deep dive into fantasy satire, cult classic filmmaking, and the sheer grit required for a successful literary adaptation.
We discuss why the book makes Buttercup unlikeable and how Rob Reiner found the perfect balance of heart and humor. Throughout the episode, we analyze the transition from page to screen and why certain characters feel so different in the source material. As you wish! All that, plus the legendary story of the thirty-second fart heard 'round the set!
