Скачать или смотреть As You Wish: Celebrating the Life and Films of Rob Reiner

Inconceivable!" Join us for a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Rob Reiner, the man who brought us the world’s most famous "kissing book" and turned rock and roll up to eleven.

In this special CinemaJam Mini, Sebastian and Pablo mourn the passing of director, actor, and activist Rob Reiner (1947-2025). We explore his incredible range—from the genre-defining mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap to the political drama of A Few Good Men. The heart of the episode is a deep dive into The Princess Bride, a film that rejuvenated the swashbuckler genre and remains a "must-have" on every cinephile's list. We discuss the personal stakes for Mandy Patinkin, the legendary improvisations of Billy Crystal, and why Wesley and Buttercup’s story still resonates decades later.
