42 minutes

George Roy Hill, director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, goes over the process of making the movie. Paul Newman and Paul Newman were also interviewed for this feature but for the most part it is Hill that does the talking. All of the images in the film are either taken from the movie or footage show on location of the while someone is talking over it. There are no shots of people talking directly into the camera.

Hill talks about the casting, the music, the cinematography, the stunts, and other challenges that he, the cast, and the crew encountered while making the movie. It isn't as polished as documentaries are today but I found it to be very informative. I really enjoyed getting to see how some of the scenes and stunts were shot.

Lemongrab and Lemongrab 2 have used some information Princess Bubblegum left behind to make all their food into sentient beings.

Thoughts

I enjoyed this episode but it was another weird one. There were all sorts of really strange characters in the Earldom of Lemongrab.
