Episode notes

They discuss the three main characters of The Princess Bride and their individual struggles with identity and purpose. They delve into how Buttercup, Wesley, and Inigo have all lost sight of their own desires and are trapped in a state of uncertainty and lack of future orientation. The hosts emphasize the importance of each character working on themselves and developing coping skills before expecting their partner to provide support.

In this episode on Rob Reiner's 80s Classic: The Princess Bride we discuss Grief and loss and the different ways that people react to it. We primarily focus on the presentations of Buttercup, Westley, and Inigo and the different ways in which the deal with losses in their lives. We also discuss the concept of revenge fantasies and how they represent a classic McGuffin that drives many plots, but, in reality rarely works out the way people imagine.
