Bonus: Remembering Rob Reiner and the La Monte Afterparty
In this special bonus installment, we reflect on a filmmaker who defined the American cinematic landscape for decades. We also circle back to the studio for a final word on our recent guest.
The Panel
Jennifer Trujillo, Sila Blume, Eric Trommater, and Erin Brown.
Remembering Rob Reiner (March 6, 1947 – December 14, 2025)
The panel gathers to remember the life and legacy of Rob Reiner. Following his passing this past December, we take a moment to look at his run of films:
This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Stand by Me (1986)
The Princess Bride (1987)
When Harry Met Sally… (1989)
Misery (1990)
A Few Good Men (1992)
Additionally, we host a debate on the origins of the mockumentary form, questioning if Peter Watkins' The War Game (1966) should be considered the true first of its kind.
The La Monte Afterparty
To close out the episode, we briefly recap the final insights from Christine La Monte after she left the studio. We share the post-script thoughts and industry reflections that surfaced once the formal mics were cut, rounding out our time with her before we return to our main series.
Upcoming Schedule
Next: Tokyo Story (1953) — Ozu and the geometry of aging
Following: Nouvelle Vague (2025) — Linklater’s look at the birth of the New Wave
