Once, When I Was Cool episodes

  • The Princess Bride (1987)

    In this episode, Dave and Wee dive head-first chaos of The Princess Bride - the cult classic that somehow blends fantasy, romance, sword fights, revenge, rodents of unusual size and endlessly quotable dialogue into one perfect adventure.

    From Westley and Buttercup to Inigo Montoya's legendary quest for vengeance, the boys revisit why this beloved film still manages to charm audience decades later.

    Expect laughs, nostalgia, terrible accents, and at least one disagreement about whether this is secretly the greatest comedy of the 80's.
