*Editor’s Note: This episode was recorded as our Season 2 finale, which we weren’t planning on releasing until later this year. However, due to the recent tragic passing of Rob Reiner, we felt it appropriate to release this episode early in tribute to him and to honor the legacy he left behind.
Join us as we experience the joy of the timeless classic, The Princess Bride! Through laughter and nostalgia, the OBA story team and special guests Alex, Brian, and Willow explore the film's enduring charm, its unique blend of humor and adventure, and the profound impact of storytelling across generations. Hear from six industry experts—authors, editors, filmmakers, and composers—how to create emotional connections and healing across generations with the power of storytelling. Learn with us as this film demonstrates how to write timeless stories with irresistible characters, humor, and adventure that connect deeply with audiences. Our conversation weaves through personal anecdotes, the magic of cinema, and the power of love and revenge. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the tale, this episode promises to rekindle your belief in the magic of stories. Tune in for laughter, insights, and a celebration of a film that continues to captivate hearts.
