Hey Oscar WWTT? Fans — as we all know, Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were brutally taken from us on Dec. 14th, 2025.  This episode is a tribute to the amazing films & legendary career he left behind. We mostly concentrate on his first 10 films — 9 of which range from very good to excellent.  And while Mr. Reiner never seemed to get the love he deserved from The Academy, his films stand the test of time by being some of our all-time favorite films.  From Spinal Tap to The Princess Bride to Harry Met Sally & A Few Good Men - Rob Reiner’s work was imbued with his love of humor, relatability and character of conviction.  And while he might not have an Oscar — he has our enduring love and admiration. He will be missed.  As always, thanks for listening.
