Have Not Seen This21. The Princess Bride (1986) with Kate WallingaYou know the story and its lines: "As you wish," "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die." But I would bet you don't look at The Princess Bride the same way as this week's guest, Kate Wallinga. Listen as Kate and Rafe dig into this classic fairy tale movie, discuss being introduced to movies via network television, and consider that a strong female figure doesn't always mean a feminist character.
