Deep Thoughts About Stupid Sh*t: A Pop-Culture Podcast
Deep Thoughts about the Princess Bride
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!)

We're hella smart and completely unashamed of our overthinking prowess. We love movies and tv, science fiction, comedy, and murder mysteries, good storytelling with lots of dramatic irony, and analyzing pop culture for gender dynamics, psychology, sociology, and whatever else we find.
