About this episode

<p>On this episode, Ryan and Todd take a short break from their Kant Odyssey to discuss one of the podcast&#39;s most admired filmmakers: Rob Reiner. Coincidentally being released on Oscar&#39;s Sunday, the hosts dedicate their time to Reiner&#39;s first seven films--<em>This is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally..., Misery, </em>and <em>A Few Good Men. </em>While discussing each film individually, the pair articulate and build upon the following claim: the same things that made Reiner unique as a filmmaker were the exact same things that made him easy to overlook as an auteur. </p>
