Rob Reiner was born Mar. 6, 1947 as part of This Week in TV History.

One of the biggest news stories of the year was the tragic passing of Rob Reiner. The man had an extremely prolific career in Hollywood, cranking out several films that today are considered modern classics. That includes arguably the greatest 6 film run to start a career in the history of film. One of the films in that run was 1990''s Misery. The film was Reiner's second adaptation of a Stephen King film and not only showed his talent for pulling great work out of actors, but also his versatility as a director.

What is the cost of speaking out against Christian nationalism? In 2024, Rob Reiner came on the podcast to talk about a film he produced, called "God & Country." In this episode from our archives, Amanda Tyler talks with Reiner and Dan Partland, the director of the film. "God & Country" discusses the dangers of Christian nationalism to the country, to the faith, and to pluralism. This program originally aired January 18, 2024 SHOW NOTES Segment 1 (starting at 02:22): Rob Reiner and Dan Partland on Christian nationalism Released in February 2024, "God & Country" is available to watch on several streaming platforms. You can learn more at GodAndCountryTheMovie.com. About the guests: Dan Partland, the director of the movie, is a veteran documentary producer and director for film and television. His work includes several landmark nonfiction features and series over the past three decades, and he's a two-time Emmy winner for best nonfiction series. Rob Reiner was a producer of the film. He first came to fame as a two-time Emmy award winning actor in the landmark television series "All in the Family." He went on to become an acclaimed director of some of the most popular and influential motion pictures in American film history, and he remained a dedicated political activist until his death in 2025. The exact phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the U.S. Constitution, but the concept is laid out several times, including Article VI's prohibition on any religious test for office, the First Amendment's prohibition of a government establishment of religion, and the First Amendment's guarantee of the free exercise of religion. Read more in Brent Walker's "Top 5 Myths of the Separation of Church and State." Learn more about the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign – a project BJC began in 2019 – by visiting ChristiansAgainstChristianNationalism.org. Segment 2 (starting at 20:56): Post-screening Q&A with Partland and Reiner BJC and the Freedom From Religion Foundation released a comprehensive report on the role of Christian nationalism in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. You can access it here. Dan Partland mentioned The Power Worshippers, a book by Katherine Stewart on the rise of religious nationalism. It serves as a basis for the movie. Segment 3 (starting at 40:39): Closing Michelle Boorstein covered the screening for The Washington Post in this article: 'God & Country' film spotlights Christian nationalism's threat to democracy Respecting Religion is made possible by BJC's generous donors. You can support these conversations with a gift to BJC.
Several actors will honor Rob Reiner at the Oscars.
Pack for a long hike but inexplicably don't bring any water as we trek off to see Rob Reiner's Stand By Me. Did anyone else mentally block out the blueberry pie scene? Does thinking of this movie as Wesley Crusher on a holodeck adventure make it better? And we know parental oversight was negligible in the 80s, but were kids in the 60s just completely feral? No time to answer, we've got to outrun this train!
Movie number 2 this week is the 1987 film The Princess Bride. Directed by Rob Reiner it tells the story of a swashbuckling farmhand named Westley who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck. It stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, André the Giant, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, Peter Falk, Fred Savage, Billy Crystal and Carol Kane. Come join us!!

Second Chance Cinema returns with a timely deep dive into Rob Reiner's political drama Shock and Awe—a film we originally revisited to honor Reiner after his recent passing… only to discover that its warnings feel eerily aligned with this weekend's news cycle. MC and Spro take listeners back to their shared dorm at Ohio University on 9/11, when the world changed in real time outside their window. MC brings firsthand experience from his time as a "journo" (what it means in the boring world of chasing down facts), while Spro breaks down how easy it was for average Americans to trust the Bush administration's narrative after the towers fell (and why it made him feel at his worst). We didn't plan for the world to make Rob Reiner's 2017 film about 2003 feel relevant again… but here we are. This is an episode about journalism, memory, fear, and the stories we choose to believe when everything is on fire.

Breaking today: Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner.He appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom with a shaved head and brown jail jumpsuit, sitting behind glass as his public defender Kimberly Greene entered the plea on his behalf. He spoke only once—saying "yes" when asked if he would waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing.But what does a not guilty plea actually mean in a case where the defendant was arrested the same day his parents were found dead?It means the defense is preserving options. In California, insanity defenses require dual pleas and trigger bifurcated trials. Guilt is determined first, sanity second. Today's plea was procedural—a placeholder while psychiatric evaluations continue and strategy solidifies.The options: full insanity under M'Naghten, requiring proof Nick didn't understand his actions or know they were wrong. Diminished actuality, using his schizoaffective disorder to argue he couldn't form premeditation, potentially reducing charges. Or incompetence to stand trial, arguing he can't understand current proceedings.Former judge Halim Dhanidina said he doesn't see a full insanity defense here—but mental illness could reduce murder to manslaughter. That's likely the real play.DA Nathan Hochman hasn't decided on the death penalty. The preliminary hearing is April 29th. The case is just beginning.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Two words in a Los Angeles courtroom today. Not guilty. Entered by Nick Reiner's public defender as he sat slumped behind glass, charged with stabbing both of his parents to death.Rob Reiner. Michele Singer Reiner. Found in their bedroom with multiple stab wounds on the first night of Hanukkah. Their 32-year-old son arrested the same day, now facing two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances.Today's plea triggered the expected outrage. But here's what most people don't understand: that plea wasn't a defense. It was a door. The real strategy hasn't been revealed yet.California's system requires defendants pursuing insanity defenses to enter dual pleas, triggering bifurcated trials where guilt and sanity are determined separately. Today was procedural. The psychiatric evaluations are ongoing. The defense is still deciding which path to take.Three options remain open. Full insanity under M'Naghten—proving Nick didn't know what he was doing or that it was wrong. Diminished actuality—using his documented schizoaffective disorder to challenge the premeditation required for first-degree murder. Or incompetence to stand trial—arguing he can't participate in his own defense right now.Legal experts are skeptical about full insanity. Nick was at a Christmas party hours before the killings, arguing with his father in front of witnesses. If you can argue, you're not legally insane.The more likely play? Reduced charges. Second-degree murder. Manslaughter. A different name for what happened, and different consequences.April 29th. Preliminary hearing. The real fight begins.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textWhy does everyone forget that this is their favorite movie? The boys get sentimental this week by revisiting this 1986 Rob Reiner masterpiece. Recent events notwithstanding, this one reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place. A billion dollar CGI Marvel movie is good and all, but these types of movies carry their own magic when they're done right, and this is no exception. Dont let the sappy tone fool you though, your hosts spend most of the time laughing at the realistic absurdity of little boy talk, proving that they've never fully matured either.

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports on Nick Reiner's court appearance in Los Angeles.
Everyone close to the Reiners knew. Rob said it out loud. And it still happened. This episode is for anyone who's ever watched someone they love walk toward a disaster they identified years earlier — and carries the guilt of not stopping it. Knowing doesn't protect you. It just means you suffer twice. Your foresight was not consent. Your inability to change someone was not failure. The Reiners stayed, saw everything, and couldn't alter the ending.

Rob Reiner told friends he was afraid his son could hurt him — then brought Nick to a Christmas party because he was afraid to leave him alone. That contradiction is the trap millions of people live inside every day. This episode is about the psychology of staying — the guilt weaponization, the sunk cost, the belief that walking away means you failed. The Reiners did everything right by every measure we're taught. They never gave up. And it cost them their lives. If you've ever stayed with someone dangerous because leaving felt like abandonment, this is the conversation no one has with you.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #TrueCrime #Enabling #AddictionFamily #LovingSomeoneDangerous #Boundaries #SurvivorGuilt #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
There's a version of your child that no longer exists. You have the photos. You remember exactly who they were before. That person is gone — and you're not allowed to grieve them because they're still breathing. Psychologists call it ambiguous loss. When someone is physically present but psychologically absent. No funeral. No closure. Just an infinite middle where hope and despair take turns destroying you. Rob and Michele Reiner lived inside that for seventeen years. The Nick who existed before the drugs, before manipulation became his entire operating system, vanished long before December 14th. They made a movie with him in 2015 about recovery. Press tours about healing. Nick later admitted he wasn't sober during any of it. The redemption was a performance. Rob and Michele were in the audience believing it was real — grieving a loss they thought had ended, only to have it reopen when the truth surfaced. That's how the cycle works. Every glimmer of the person you remember makes their absence sharper when it disappears again. Hope becomes torture because it won't let you settle into the loss. And the lies you tell yourself aren't stupidity — they're survival. "This time is different." "Nobody understands them like I do." "They didn't mean it." "If I stop trying, I'm the bad one." These are frameworks your brain builds to keep functioning when reality becomes unsurvivable. Rob said at a Christmas party that he was petrified of his son. That's not full denial. That's a man who sees the truth and is trying to survive it anyway. Knowing and accepting are different things. You can see exactly where the story ends and still not act — because acting means releasing the last hope that holds your world together. This episode is for anyone who's ever grieved someone who's still alive. That grief is real. And you weren't foolish for believing the lies. You were surviving.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #TrueCrime #AmbiguousLoss #GrievingTheLiving #AddictionFamily #Denial #LovingSomeoneDangerous #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He directed films for forty years. He understood how stories telegraph their endings. And he told friends at a Christmas party he was petrified of his own son. He saw it. He just couldn't act on it — because acting meant releasing the last hope holding his world together. That's not stupidity. That's how the brain survives unbearable truth. The Reiners spent seventeen years watching Nick vanish — the person he was before the drugs replaced by someone they couldn't reach and eventually feared. Psychologists call it ambiguous loss. No funeral. No closure. No permission to grieve. Just an infinite middle suspended between hope and despair. They built survival frameworks. Trusted professionals. Then rejected the professionals. Made a recovery movie together in 2015. Nick later admitted he wasn't sober during any of it. Every redemption was a performance. Every relapse reopened a wound the Reiners thought had finally closed. The lies followed patterns millions of families recognize. "This time is different." "Nobody understands them like I do." "If I stop, I'm the one who failed." These aren't delusions — they're the only stories your mind can construct when reality becomes unsurvivable. And through all of it, you're expected to answer "How's your son?" with something that sounds like hope. This episode is about the grief nobody validates and the denial nobody should be ashamed of. If you've ever mourned someone who's still alive — if you've ever known the truth and stayed anyway because the alternative was worse — this is for you. That grief is real. Those lies were survival. Forgive them. Forgive yourself.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #TrueCrime #AmbiguousLoss #Denial #AddictionFamily #GrievingTheLiving #SurvivalMechanisms #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week the boys sit down and discuss the Chargers, Sofi Stadium, Stranger Things, Long Beach Baseball Club, Rob Reiner, When Harry Met Sally, and much much more!
You're waiting for an ending that isn't coming.The apology. The acknowledgment. The trial that delivers justice. The moment where everything finally makes sense. You've built years around the hope that someday there would be resolution.There won't be.Jake and Romy Reiner will spend years in courtrooms. Motions. Hearings. Their brother's face while lawyers argue his mental state. And at the end — whatever the verdict — their parents are still gone. The brother they grew up with is either a murderer or something even more tragic. The trial gives an outcome. It doesn't give peace.Justice doesn't equal peace. Families who've been through this describe the anticipation of "guilty" — the belief that the word will finally shift something inside them. Then it comes. And they feel emptiness. Because the verdict addressed what was done. It didn't undo what it cost.Apologies don't rewrite history. Even when they come, the damage stays. And most of the time, with people like Nick, the apology never arrives. Or it arrives wrapped in conditions and deflection.Understanding doesn't mean acceptance. You can have every clinical detail — the illness, the trauma, the disorder — and still not be okay with what they destroyed. Knowing why someone hurt you doesn't obligate you to forgive them.Time doesn't heal. It just passes. Healing is something you build. Actively. Painfully. With or without resolution. With or without justice. With or without the ending you deserved.The shift: closure isn't something that happens to you. It's something you construct. Peace isn't waiting for external validation. It's deciding that their chaos doesn't get to determine your future anymore.The survivors who find peace aren't the ones who got answers. They're the ones who stopped waiting for them.Your next chapter is yours.

You saw the patterns. You recognized the cycle. Somewhere underneath all the hoping — you knew.And you stayed anyway. Not because you were blind. Because the truth was unsurvivable.Rob and Michele Reiner weren't naive people. Rob directed films for forty years. He knew how stories telegraph their endings. And yet he and Michele built frameworks that kept them tethered to a son who was destroying them.Trust the professionals. Then: the professionals are wrong. Then: redemption through art. Then: he just needs more support.Each framework had its own logic. Each one evolved when the last one failed. And each one kept them in the room.The lies we tell ourselves follow patterns. "This time is different" — resetting after every relapse. "Nobody understands them like I do" — making yourself essential. "They didn't mean it" — reframing every cruelty as symptom. "If I stop, I'm the bad one" — turning your limits into betrayal.Nick destroyed their guesthouse. Admitted to gaming rehab. Convinced his father to make a movie where Rob was the villain for trying to help. And the narrative held: he's sick, not bad.These lies aren't weakness. They're survival. Stories the brain constructs when reality becomes unbearable.Rob said at that party he was petrified of his son. That's not denial. That's a man who sees the truth and is trying to survive it. Knowing and accepting are different things. You can know something in your bones and still not act — because acting means letting go.The question isn't "how could I be so blind?" It's "what was I protecting myself from seeing?"The answer: that you were powerless to save someone who wasn't interested in being saved.Forgive yourself for the lies. They were the only tools you had.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrimeToday #TrueCrime #Denial #AddictionFamily #Codependency #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You remember who they were. You have photos. You can describe exactly the person they used to be — before the addiction, before the diagnosis, before they became someone unrecognizable wearing a familiar face.That person is gone. And the world won't let you grieve them. Because they're still alive.Rob and Michele Reiner lived with this grief for seventeen years. The Nick who existed before the drugs, before the manipulation became his entire personality — that person disappeared slowly, piece by piece, while his body remained. There was no funeral. No acknowledgment. Just a guesthouse on their property occupied by a stranger who knew their names.Psychologists call this ambiguous loss. Physical presence, psychological absence. It's one of the hardest forms of grief because there's no ending. No closure. Just an infinite middle where hope and despair take turns destroying you.The Reiners made a movie with Nick in 2015. Did press tours about healing. Talked publicly about their bond. But Nick admitted later he wasn't actually sober during any of it. The redemption was performance. And every time they thought their son had come back, they had to grieve him all over again when the truth surfaced.That's the cruelty of this loss. Every glimmer of the old them reopens the wound. Every flash of recognition makes the absence sharper when it disappears. You attend the same funeral over and over without ever being allowed to bury the body.There's no support group for this. No bereavement leave. No cards or casseroles. Just silence and the expectation that you'll keep showing up while bleeding from a wound nobody acknowledges.You're allowed to grieve someone who's still breathing. The person you loved was real. Their absence is real. And you don't need anyone's permission to mourn them.But if you need permission anyway — here it is.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrimeToday #TrueCrime #AmbiguousLoss #AddictionFamily #GrievingTheLiving #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't give up on me."Rob and Michele Reiner heard some version of that for seventeen years. And they stayed. Eighteen rehab programs. Tens of thousands a month in treatment. A guesthouse so Nick could live close. A film about recovery made together. Every door stayed open. Every line in the sand got erased.They never walked away. And now they're gone.This isn't about assigning blame for what happened — that responsibility belongs to one person. This is about the trap that keeps people standing in fires that are consuming them. The belief that presence equals protection. That love equals proximity. That walking away makes you the villain.It doesn't.Nick reportedly told his parents that refusing their suggested programs meant homelessness. That was the consequence. It never materialized. Every ultimatum softened. And some people will never hit bottom because someone's always there to prevent the fall. Your love becomes the cushion that keeps them from the crash that might actually wake them up.Three things keep you trapped. Guilt weaponization: "If you leave, I'll spiral" — making your departure the cause of their destruction. Sunk cost: you've given too much to quit now. And the fantasy of the final save: what if this was finally the moment they were ready, and you missed it?Rob brought Nick to a Christmas party because leaving him home alone felt too dangerous. A seventy-seven-year-old man couldn't go to a gathering without his adult son. That's not caregiving. That's captivity dressed as love.You're allowed to stop. You're allowed to set limits. You're allowed to survive.The Reiners stayed until there was nowhere left to stand.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Eighteen rehab stints. Millions of dollars. A guesthouse on the property. A movie made together about healing. Rob and Michele Reiner gave Nick everything for seventeen years.They never walked away. And they're dead.This episode isn't about blame — what happened is the responsibility of one person alone. But it's about a question that haunts everyone who's ever loved someone dangerous: when does staying become its own form of destruction?We're taught that love means presence. That walking away is abandonment. That good people don't give up. But "unconditional love" got twisted somewhere into "unconditional proximity." They're not the same thing. You can love someone from a distance. You can love someone you'll never see again. You can love someone and still refuse to let them take you down with them.Nick reportedly told his parents that refusing their treatment plans meant homelessness. That was the line. But it never held. Every consequence dissolved. Every ultimatum evaporated. Some people never hit bottom because someone's always there to catch them — and your outstretched hands become the floor preventing the fall that might actually save them.The trap has three parts. Guilt weaponization: your departure becomes the cause of their destruction. Sunk cost: you've invested too much to walk away now. The final save fantasy: what if you leave right when they were finally ready?Rob Reiner brought Nick to a Christmas party because he was reportedly afraid to leave him home alone. A seventy-seven-year-old man couldn't attend a holiday event without his thirty-two-year-old son in tow. That's not supervision. That's hostage behavior.You're allowed to stop. Walking away isn't betrayal — it's the recognition that your presence isn't saving anyone. The Reiners stayed until there was nowhere left to stand.You don't have to.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerMurders #TrueCrime #Enabling #WalkingAway #AddictionFamily #Codependency #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
