What happens when a devoted fan becomes your worst nightmare? Misery (1990) isn't just a psychological thriller — it's a terrifyingly accurate portrait of toxic fandom, long before the age of Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit backlash. In this episode of the Cinema Psychos Show, we dive deep into Rob Reiner's chilling adaptation of Stephen King's novel, breaking down why Annie Wilkes might be the most disturbingly realistic villain in horror movie history. We explore the real-life inspiration behind Misery, including King's own battle with addiction and fame, and how the film eerily predicted modern fan entitlement. From Kathy Bates' Oscar-winning performance to James Caan's quiet brilliance, this movie packs emotional trauma, sharp social commentary, and one of the most infamous horror scenes of all time — the hobbling. We also unpack how Misery fits into the legacy of Stephen King adaptations, why horror grounded in reality hits harder than supernatural scares, and what this film has to say about celebrity culture in 2024.

This week, Aubrey and Tim put three legendary directors under the microscope: Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, and Quentin Tarantino. They debate and discuss the highs and lows from each filmmaker's career, covering classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, and more — as well as some controversial misfires like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Expect a spirited, insightful discussion full of hot takes and surprising opinions!Next, Professor Aubrey shares her experience participating in another Tesla Takedown protest. Dressed as a narwhal with a sign that boldly declared "Narwhals Against Nazis," she recounts the energy, creativity, and importance of standing up for what's right, blending humor with powerful activism.Tim the Nerd also has a lot to celebrate this week.

We're talking about 1984's Spinal Tap directed by Rob Reiner, starring Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Tony Hendra, June Chadwick and Bruno Kirby then 1985's Pee Wee's Big Adventure, starring Paul Ruebens, Elizabeth Daly, Mark Holton, Jan Hooks, Diane Salinger, Morgan Fairchild and James Brolin topped off with 1987's Raising Arizona Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen starring Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter, John Goodman, William Forsythe, Frances McDormand, Sam McMurray and Trey Wilson. I have an action-packed line up of guests starting with Kid sis and frustrated roadie Roseanne Caputi, children's book author dentist and dance king David Johnson, DMD, author, producer and gadfly George Young, musician, editor burrito and pastry lover Kendrick Wright, author, hypnotherapist, teacher and musical theater aficionado Joe Field and our very own Gordon Alex Robertson letting it all go wild.   Before we commence with the back-clapping and drinks on me at the Moulin Rouge, the synopses:  Spinal Tap (1984):A rock mockumentary following the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap, chronicling their disastrous American tour after a failed album six years ago. The tour forces them to come face-to-face with their age, egos, dwindling fame, and their crumbling careers.  Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985):The madcap Pee-Wee Herman embarks on a desperate cross-country journey to find his stolen bicycle, encountering a cadre of zany characters and bizarre situations along the way.  Raising Arizona (1987):H.I. McDunnough, an ex-con with a passion for robbing convenience stores and his police officer wife, Ed short for Edwina, are unable to conceive. When unpainted furniture kingpin Nathan Arizona's wife gives birth to quintuplets, HI and Ed kidnap one of the babies, leading to a chaotic and life-changing, one might say life-affirming, series of events. Are these the greatest comedies of all time?Find out!

Impertinent, ouvertement sexuel, sans vulgarité, le film est surtout connu pour ses répliques bien ficelées et pour la scène dʹextase et dʹorgasme de Meg Ryan dans un diners new-yorkais, face à un Billy Crystal embarrassé par cette jouissance impromptue, improvisée et bruyante. Campé sur des personnages touchants et attachants, par ailleurs, très inspirés de la vie du réalisateur Rob Reiner et des histoires personnelles de la scénariste, le film rencontre un succès considérable et lance la carrière de Meg Ryan qui devient la nouvelle coqueluche dʹHollywood tandis que tous les journaux et les magazines sʹinterrogent : Les hommes peuvent-ils être amis avec les femmes, sans arrière-pensée dʹordre sexuel ? Et quʹen est-il de lʹorgasme féminin ? Ca fait les gros titres et la matière des pages psychologie des magazines. Dans Travelling cʹest lʹhistoire dʹHarry et de Sally que nous vous racontons grâce à des anecdotes, des archives, des extraits.

Welcome back to the Constant reader Podcast, and thanks for bearing with us during our long hiatus. We have gathered up quite a few of our favorite repeat guests for 2025 though, so i am sure you will forgive us. We have lined up Kim C from the year of underrated Stephen King podcast with another step towards the Dark Tower. The gentlemen from King Con will be giving a report on how their convention on Stephen King, the first of its type, went back in October, and what you might expect from them in the future. Plus Andy Stanton will be back to help me sort out the End of the World As We Know It, the upcoming short story collection based in the world of King's The Stand. Plus we have some new guests, including some big names I can't reveal just yet. Today's guest is one those old friends, James Michels. James was on the show a couple of years ago to talk about The Shawshank Redemption, his own work in the prison industry, and his career as crime writer. We discussed a series of short stories, Life's Dark Corners, that i urge you to seek out. Today however, he is here to discuss The Melody of Shattered Glass, an ambitious epic novel that depicts the fates of the Oro crime family, one of the last bastions of a mafia that is struggling to identify exactly what it is, and what it stands for in the 21st century. But first, James wanted to talk about Stand by Me, Rob Reiner's adaptation of King's novella The Body. It features an incredible cast, a killer soundtrack, a sharp script and has meant a lot of things to a lot of people.I refer to his new book as The Melody of Shattered Glass, when it is, in fact The Melody of Shattered Gold. A thousand apologies to James for misnaming this book, which has an incredible ending and unforgettable characters.....

Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) dive into one of the most intense psychological thrillers ever—Rob Reiner's Misery, based on the legendary Stephen King novel! This chilling classic follows Paul Sheldon (James Caan, The Godfather, Elf), a best-selling author who finds himself at the mercy of his number-one fan, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates, Titanic, American Horror Story), after a brutal car crash leaves him stranded in her remote home. As Annie's obsession spirals into madness, Paul must fight for his survival in a game of manipulation and terror. The film also stars Richard Farnsworth (The Straight Story, The Grey Fox) as Sheriff Buster and Frances Sternhagen (The Mist, Sex and the City) as his wife, Virginia.

Katherine Stewart has been covering religious nationalism and the assault on American democracy for over 15 years. Her latest book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, was awarded first place for Excellence in Nonfiction Books by the Religion News Association as well as a Morris D. Forkosch award. Her previous book, The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children covered the religious right's efforts to infiltrate and undermine public education. Stewart writes for The New York Times opinion, New Republic and many others, and has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, and NPR. In 2020 The Power Worshippers was acquired by producers Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner, who subsequently based their documentary feature film, God & Country, on the book. Stewart's latest book Money Lies and God is available for preorder today! Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy In 2020, just months before the presidential election, acclaimed journalist Katherine Stewart released The Power Worshippers, a brilliantly reported book that acted as a wake-up call to readers: Christian nationalism must be taken seriously as a significant threat to the American republic and our democratic freedoms. The Power Worshippers cemented Stewart as a go-to authority on Christian nationalism and the current threats to American democracy, and inspired the recent documentary God & Country, produced by Rob Reiner. Stewart's explosive follow-up, MONEY, LIES, AND GOD: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy (February 18, 2025) exposes the inner workings of the “engine of unreason” roiling American culture and politics, but aims at a bigger and more challenging target: how did we get to the point where there is an organized political movement within the United States that is working to destroy American Democracy? Furthermore, why have so many Americans turned against democracy? In this deeply researched book, Katherine Stewart takes readers to conferences of conspiracy-mongers, backroom strategy gatherings, and services at extremist houses of worship, and profiles the people who want to tear it all down. She introduces us to reactionary Catholic activists, atheist billionaires, pseudo-Platonist intellectuals, self-appointed apostles of Jesus, disciples of Ayn Rand, women-hating opponents of “the gynocracy,” pronatalists preoccupied with the dearth of white babies, Covid truthers, militia members masquerading as “concerned moms” and battalions of spirit warriors who appear to be inventing a new style of religion even as they set about attacking democracy at its foundations. Along the way, she provides a compelling analysis of the authoritarian reaction in the United States. She demonstrates that the movement relies on several distinct constituencies, with very different and often conflicting agendas. Stewart's reporting and comprehensive political analysis helps reframe the conversation about the moral collapse of conservatism in America and points the way forward toward a democratic future.

Valerie and I take a scalpel to some well loved movies this season. First there was the Nightmare Before Christmas and now Sleepless in Seattle. I'm not a believer in ‘magic love' so I find the premise of the movie silly, but there are some good examples of tension. However, under the microscope of Valerie's 4 Story Questions, this movie is lacking in some fundamental storytelling scaffolding. Without clear wants there isn't anything meaningful at stake.

I've selected four films for the staff picks wall, highlighting my favorite best buds and friendships forged in fire. I also answer the age-old question, “Can men and women really be friends?” Let's dig in. Stand by Me (1986)First up is Rob Reiner's 1986 coming-of-age classic, Stand by Me. Starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and Keifer Sutherland, Stand by Me is a classic focusing on the friendship between four boys growing up in the summer of 1959. Do you still have friends like you did when you were twelve? I hope so. Gather your besties on the couch for this one. Now and Then (1995)Next is the 1995 film Now and Then. I return to my twelve-year-old self whenever I watch this film, not just because I relate to the young leads of the film, but because of the deep and sincere friendship that is the film's through-line. Starring Christina Ricci, Rosie O'Donnell, Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith, Gaby Hoffman, Demi Moore, Ashleigh Aston Moore, and Rita Wilson, these ladies deliver a powerful dramatic, and comedic performance. Get your best gals together for a great film with a great soundtrack. When Harry Met Sally… (1989)Yes, I know what you're thinking: a rom-com in a movie about friendship? You read that right. When Harry Met Sally… addresses the age-old question, “Can men and women be friends?” Well, I've got thoughts on the matter and you'll have to listen to this week's show to find out why I've selected this one for a podcast on film friendship. Thelma & Louise (1991)Closing out our staff picks wall this week is the 1991 drama/comedy/road movie Thelma & Louise. Starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, this Oscar-winning film about two best friends on the run from the law deals deeply with ideas of freedom, friendship, and letting go of others' expectations.
