When a star-crossed lover promises to seek a fallen star for the girl of his dreams, he encounters a land of magic and mayhem. This once upon a time tale echoes The Princess Bride with jokes and wackiness to spare. The gang discuss ideas of fantasy, dives into the Captain Shakespeare character, discusses the use of cinematography and production design and much more. Join us as we tackle one of the genres we rarely discuss in this fantastical episode.
In which Madeleine and Grace visit the land of Faerie - and struggle to return to Wall.

Neil Gaiman's Stardust began in 1997 as a DC comic book fairy tale. In 1999 it was then published as an illustrated novel. Finally in 2007 it was adapted to the screen, directed by Matthew Vaughn. This story about a fallen star had its own star power with Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, and Peter O'Toole.
