Is The Princess Bride.
Yes.
The Princess Bride is like a deconstructivist exploration of a lot of the tropes of those stories, but it never...
It never is like, we're doing a metatextual thing.
It's like, it's playing it straight, but there is a sense of comic tone that I think Reiner and Goldman were like such a great match for that story.
And the actors that Reiner is able to cast, just getting Billy Crystal and Wallace Shawn and all of these people in that movie that lets...
It lets it have that cake and eat it too in a way the masters of the universe never can.
But that's so hard.
I mean, there's a reason that movie is so legendary.
Yeah.
It's weird.
Idris too has attached himself to so many – I mean he was literally in the Thor films.
He was in the gun suicide squad.
Like he keeps doing this in a way that it's – like this character almost feels like a continuation of all of those other characters that he's played to the point of he's so over it that he is now like a drunk.
It's a very strange career, Idris Elba.
He's not bad in the movie.
He's never really bad in anything.
But there's a kind of autopilot quality.
Think about his first really big role after The Wire is he stars...
Yeah, but his first real leading part is in the first streaming movie.
