The Princess Bride Commentary20 Jul 202101:40:43

Will and Kevin return for this "All the Best Bits" episode with The Princess Bride commentary. However, due to a mishap with differing runtimes on different media — DVDs run faster than Blu-rays! — and recording remotely, this mistake was discovered late into recording and despite their best efforts to sync up, it continued to happen, thus this commentary track is sadly not worth syncing up with the film. This recording has been salvaged and while it may not work as a traditional commentary, it is still a good time hang with a classic film both love and for one that offered the very first Best Bit of the whole show. It couldn't go to waste!
