The Legacy of The Princess Bride

This week we are checking out a nearly 40-year-old movie from the late, great Rob Reiner including a special conversation with legendary makeup artist Lois Burwell, to talk about her time on this movie, as well as her amazing career working with directors like Steven Spielberg, and that time she won a gold statue that we know as the Oscar. So get ready to scale the Cliffs of Insanity, outsmart a Sicilian and talk about the wonderful legacy of The Princess Bride.
