Hi, friends. So on December 15th, we lost an American icon. Actor and director Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michelle Reiner, were found dead at their Hollywood home by a family member, reportedly their youngest daughter, and their deaths are currently being investigated as homicides as of this taping.

These deaths honestly hit us hard, and I think hit so many people who love culture, love film, love art,

have an appreciation for political activism.

And it felt appropriate to us that we re-release our episode talking about one of Rob Reiner's

most beloved films.

And one of the movies that I think remains most important to the two of us in in all of cinematic history

when Harry met Sally. Yes. Yeah, I know we're not the only people who have been thinking back

with so much love and appreciation for the incredible stories that Rob Reiner told and that he was part of telling over his long

and rich career. I mean, he's, he's everywhere. Like, he's made so many of the stories that

shaped us, you know, I am realizing how many I never even saw, and yet at the same time,

I saw so many. I never saw stand by me at the same time I saw so many I never saw

stand by me but of course I saw the princess bride you know there's just such a richness to his

body of work and also full of that kind of like warmth and just a bullion's and at the same time there's a great diversity and the kind of work that he did

and he showed up in small acting roles and he was writing he was directing like he was just so full

of creativity and thoughtfulness and he and his wife had been together for over 30 years.

They had, by all accounts, of beautiful and loving relationship.

She was a photographer who had her own very rich career, and they worked together at times.

They actually met on the set of when Harry met Sally, which makes it

seem all the more obvious that we would look back on that movie at this moment. This was the movie

during which he fell in love with his wife and realized that love could work and that marriage could work and that maybe Harry should end up

with Sally instead of the two of them going their separate ways. Like Michelle Singer-Riner is the

reason that we have when Harry met Sally in its final form in a way just as much as Rob Reiner. Yeah,
