It's a Wonderful Life (1946) | Ep. 126

We're taking a short break from new episodes this festive season, so we're re-releasing our Double Feature Christmas special on the films of Rob Reiner, now serving as a tribute to the legendary director following his tragic passing. Across The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and Misery, we explore how one filmmaker mastered the fairy tale, the rom-com, and the psychological horror, within 3 years of each other. We debate whether Westley is cinema's greatest romantic hero, ask if Harry and Sally should have just stayed friends, and try to work out how Kathy Bates made us root for Annie Wilkes (just a little bit). Plus: hot takes on Inigo Montoya's revenge quest, the fake orgasm heard around the world, and whether anyone has ever been more terrifying with a sledgehammer. As you wish. Rest in peace, Rob.

Twelve men. One room. Zero air conditioning. John, Westy, and Matt dive into Sidney Lumet's classic about a jury deliberating a murder case in sweltering New York heat. We explore how a first-time director turned a single location into one of cinema's most gripping courtroom dramas. The behind the scenes story, big opinions on why it works, and a laugh or two as we go. From Henry Fonda's moral crusader to that legendary knife scene. How do you make 96 minutes in one room absolutely riveting? We've got the verdict.
