Summary

The year is 1986, the film is Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me, and the hosts are crying (again). Seriously, are Erika and Paul crying a lot more lately? Do they both need to toughen up, or should they be celebrated for letting their emotions run so freely? In any case, enjoy this episode on the movie that gave us Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton, and River Phoenix!
