S2:E2.5 - Bonus: The Princess Bride Extras & Buttercup's Baby

Surprise! We’re back with a little extra Princess Bride magic. In this bonus episode, Crystal gets personal about how The Princess Bride shaped her love for whimsical romance and epic one-liners, while Lindsey dives into Buttercup’s Baby—the lesser-known follow-up/extension to this beloved fairytale. Is it official canon or just more narrative mischief from William Goldman? We’ll let you decide!
