Episode 6: Stand By Me (1986)

Aug 12, 2016


This week marks the 30th (!) anniversary of Stand By Me, Rob Reiner's coming of age story about four young friends who go on a journey to find a dead body.

Join us for a conversation that spans the horrors of leeches, a blueberry pie-eating contest with questionable rules, and how easy it is to adapt a Stephen King story into a movie. At the end, we ask if this movie, set in 1959 and released in 1986, stands the Test of Time in 2016.
