Be our (Christopher) Guest this episode as Jason and Ryan pay homage to two mockumentaries that set the stage for a comedy genre phenomenon. After teaming with Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer to deliver the rockumentary classic This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Christopher Guest started a reign of dry satire with the cult classic Waiting for Guffman (1996). Tune in for some laughs with one of America's "loudest podcasts"!

What do genre-defining movies like This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Stand By Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992) have in common? The cinematic chameleon Rob Reiner! Deftly leaping from comedy to drama - and everything in between - Reiner's early directing career was defined by hit after hit, never pulling the same trick twice. Jason and Ryan celebrate his work and the crown jewel that is the beloved, memorable The Princess Bride.

When you're the underdog the only thing you've got in your corner is your willingness to persevere. Rocky and Rudy both go the distance in these sports films that are about so much more than sticking it out for 15 rounds with Apollo Creed or getting to dress for Notre Dame's Fighting Irish. Our heroes' hearts are what inspire these stories and the communities that catch their vision.

The Deep Question: What's a movie spinoff that should've happened?

What's up in this episode, doc?! Leopards, dinosaur bones, igneous rocks, and a Chinese dragon! Hijinks were never higher and nonsense was never funnier than in these classic screwball comedies from Howard Hawks and his student Peter Bogdanovich. Jason and Ryan die laughing as they remember the dialogue, the spectacle, and the joy.

The Deep Question: Can you identify the celebrity by their real name?
