Rob Reiner was Untouchable in the 80s and 90s!
3We return to the Directors cycle with a director responsible for a legendary run of movies from the 1980s to mid 90s, Rob Reiner. Joined by a debuting Charlotte (Twitter) & Graham (Pop Screen), we discuss a holy trinity of classics, starting with 1984's This is Spinal Tap, 1987's the Princess Bride and 1990's Misery.
We also find room to talk about improv, killer casts and romantic comedies when Rob wasn't being battered by a temperamental internet connection.
If you like the show, check us on patreon and consider supporting us. For your money you'll get access to an array of Dr Who, X-Files, and Red Dwarf articles plus a series dedicated to asian cinema. There's podcasts too, with our monthly review show, Last Night, a bonus episode of our sister pod - Pop Screen - and Uncut from the Video Aisle (which is currently on a redevelopment sabbatical).
