Absolutely.
Rob LucuriaHOST
And I mean, and talking to Billy Crystal, when he did the Rob Reiner, tribute if you a few weeks ago even that reminded me of how he's just so wonderful he's so compelling as a host and as somebody on the stage and um it just i wouldn't want it to come back either like we can just we can love what they both did and now we have these new hosts conan and jimmy and whoever else and yeah i totally agree i just think it's um what great memories that we have of those times so we now need to go down some a bit more of a painful path Okay, so what is an Oscar loss that still really hurts to this very day?

ETHOST
You name dropped Rob Reiner.
ETHOST
and it was good timing because we are here to present, for the first time ever, the Rob Reiner Memorial Guest Actor Award.
ETHOST
There's no scholarship or fund.
ETHOST
As we always say, this costs us money to do.
ETHOST
If for some reason we're ever making money doing this, the first thing we'll do is donate to something Rob Reiner related.
ETHOST
and we'll send them their platinum pin too.
Mundo OswaldHOST
If we ever get one made.
Pat WalshHOST

Another psychological horror thriller directed by Rob Reiner, the late Rob Reiner.

Grace ByronGUEST
You're not wrong there.
Madeline PorsellaHOST
Yeah, I guess his like hall of his walk of shame of former presidents.
Mabel TaylorHOST
Look at this loser.
Mabel TaylorHOST
So I believe I'm just trying to pull up what Trump said about Rob Reiner.

Um, he was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of president Donald J. Trump says Trump.
Madeline PorsellaHOST
That is very, very Reverend Griswold.
ErikHOST
All right.
ErikHOST
The next matchup, we have Stand By Me from 1986, directed by Rob Reiner, starring River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Will Wheaton, and Jerry O'Connell.
ErikHOST
Stand By Me goes up against Gerald's Game, directed by Mike Flanagan from 2017, starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood.
ErikHOST
So, John Collins, Stand By Me or Gerald's Game?
ErikHOST
This is such a classic movie.
ErikHOST
It's got really, really great kid performances, which are hard to get.
ErikHOST
But you get a director like Rob Reiner who works well with kid actors.
ErikHOST
It's one of a kind, man.
EricHOST
Mm-hmm.
EricHOST
He performed the improv group, The Committee, with Rob Reiner and
ChrisHOST

ChrisHOST
Unfortunately, what, by all accounts, and everybody agrees, would have been, I mean, he died.
ChrisHOST
was in some good movies, right? But would have been a very well-received career, cut tragically short because he was only 23 and was struggling with addiction and overdosed.
ChrisHOST
He was in Stand By Me, who was directed by Rob Reiner, who was mentioned earlier in the show when we were talking about the comedy troupe.

Adam KhromachouGUEST
You had a lot of great stuff.
Adam KhromachouGUEST
A big thing too, is that, um, this film, I think just also, um, reflects the range of the late great Rob Reiner, a guy who you knew for romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, who you knew for these very whimsical, charming movies, but then also Rob Reiner does also have this this honor of being another director who effectively knew how to adapt Stephen King.
Adam KhromachouGUEST
As a matter of fact, he was the owner of Castle Rock Entertainment, which was behind a lot of great Stephen King adaptations, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile.
Adam KhromachouGUEST
He was very much into the idea of being able to effectively adapt Stephen King books to the big screen.
Adam KhromachouGUEST
I
Aaron SousaHOST
love it.
Aaron SousaHOST
Rob Reiner, one of my favorite directors.
Aaron SousaHOST
Yeah.
GusHOST
Misery is one of the strongest films on this list for examining control.
GusHOST
Rob Reiner directs James Caan as a novelist, Paul Sheldon, and Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes.
GusHOST
the fan who rescues him after a car accident.
GusHOST
And I remember it was in a remote type of town, and Paul Shelton, James Caan's character, is rescued by her.
