The Hollywood Outsider – Film and Television Podcast | Reviews An award-winning film and television podcast for the fan in all of us
A grandfather reads his grandson a story, a magical tale about a Buttercup and her love for a farm boy named Wesley. As he leaves, Buttercup becomes distraught, and eventually agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck. As the wedding approaches, the Dread Pirate Roberts returns, looking to save Princess Buttercup, while Humperdinck, Inigo Montoya, and his goons make other plans.
Long thought an impossible film to remake, inconceivable even, we decided to give this timeless classic a shot. This episode, we’re going to Remake The Princess Bride RIGHT! But perhaps, not as you wish.
Clips selected from 1987’s The Princess Bride.

What IS Remake This Movie RIGHT?
Remake This Movie RIGHT! is a podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version for a modern retelling. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our singular film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!
Our show is broken down into three distinct parts:
The Original: We discuss the original film’s impact on us and history, some quick trivia bits, what worked the best from the film and therefore must remain in our upcoming remake, as well as what didn’t work or what needs to be changed for today’s audiences. Most importantly, should this film even be remade?
The Remake: We put together our movie! What story do we want to tell, how close to the original will it be, who will star, and ultimately who should direct our eventual cinematic masterpiece? Our hosts work together to put together one cohesive movie, but there is one caveat – Each host has one ‘CUT!’ throughout the episode to employ, which could completely derail the entire film.
The Final Pitch: This is where we summarize our remake by utilizing the voice talents of voiceover artist Wayne Henderson and present our finished remake to you in movie trailer parody form!
