0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to What Went Wrong, your favorite podcast full stop that just |
0:24.6 | so happens to be about movies and how it's nearly impossible to make them, especially |
0:29.0 | a good one. As always, wear your hosts, Chris Winterbauer and Lizzie Bassett, and I'm thrilled |
0:34.6 | because we're not covering the Lord of the Rings anymore. No, we're not. I'm so excited |
0:38.7 | to just sit back and enjoy the inconceivable backstory of the princess bride and it's |
0:45.8 | pretty charming. I think you're going to have a good time. I'm excited. Also, we want |

1:46.5 | we always want you to listen. You're always invited. Everybody is invited to listen to our show. |
1:51.0 | We hope we can create a show that appeals to folks of all backgrounds with the exception of those |
