What Movie Should We Do Next?

We rewatch The Princess Bride as adults and rate it across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then argue our way to a definitive 4.5 out of 5. Along the way we get into what makes the movie feel so alive, why modern media often feels soulless, and how money and AI can crush the point of making art.
