Emmy Award-winning actor on the landmarkmark Television Series all in the family.

He went on to become an acclaimed director of some of the most popular and influential

motion pictures. His work ranges from satire, this is Spinal Tap, which is one of my favorites,

to dramas like Stand By Me, Misery, A Few Good Men and Ghost of Mississippi Mississippi to romantic comedies like when Harry met Sally

and the American president to the enduring classic The Princess Bride. His now 20 films also include The Bucket List, flipped, L.B.J. starring Woody Harrelson, and most recently,

shock and awe, which exposed the lies that led to the US invasion of Iraq.

Rob, along with his wife Michelle and Matthew George,

continue to run Castle Rock Entertainment,

a TV and film production company.

He's joining me today to discuss his new 10-part

podcast entitled Who Killed JFK in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of

President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination. of the medical experts, Pulitzer Prize winning journalists, eyewitnesses, and a former Secret Service agent who in 2023 came forward with groundbreaking new evidence.

They also discussed their own theories of who killed JFK,

how that question has shaped America and why it matters that 60 years later we're

still asking the question. Rob welcome and thank you for joining me on Newt's world.

Thanks for having me Newt.

Yes, yes, my mother and she took her place in the pantheon of most quoted lines in movies.

It's an amazing seed and anybody who hasn't seen it now you've got to go see it to see what we're talking about.
