Let’s talk about The Princess Bride and how the movie might actually be better than the book. Maybe. It depends on who you ask. We discuss the incredible practical effects of this movie, the fight scenes that are more like dance scenes, and why ROUSes need to be seen to be believed.
Our Drink for this Book: Tall Dark Stranger Wine, in honor of the Man in Black
Our Drinking Game for this Movie: It’s called The Battle of Wits and this game can actually be played without the movie but it is inspired by the scene between Wesley and Vizzini where death is on the line. Take turns drinking shots of liquid that look almost identical but one tastes fine and the other tastes awful. Make your friends guess who got the terrible one and see if you can bluff your way through not having to take the shot of liquor. It’s not exactly death on the line but it’s funny for your friends. We didn’t find a website outlining this game but this very entertaining post online explains it pretty well!
