Podcasts about Stand by Me

In this coming of age film from director Rob Reiner, and based on the work of Stephen King, a writer recounts a journey with his childhood friends to view the body of a boy who went missing in the woods.  Along the way they learn the meaning of friendship and much more as Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Cory Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell star in Stand By Me. We also discuss things we watched this past week, the latest pop culture news and more!  Next week it's Matt's birthday pick of Conan The Barbarian.

Stephen King has given us some of the greatest horror stories ever written and some of them even became great movies! This week on our Messed Up Movies Draft, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia go head-to-head to build the ultimate four-movie Stephen King lineup. There is, however, one problem: THE SHINING and CARRIE are BANNED. We've picked them too many times, so we are locking them in Room 237 until further notice. That leaves everything else on the board, from The Mist, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, Pet Sematary and Creepshow to IT, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Doctor Sleep, The Running Man, Children of the Corn and plenty of increasingly questionable decisions *cough SOPHIA cough* Along the way, we get into what actually makes a great Stephen King adaptation, why his stories have endured for generations, the movies that completely nailed his particular brand of American horror, and the adaptations that maybe should have stayed buried. YOU decide who drafted the best Stephen King movie lineup. Drop your winner in the comments or vote in our Instagram poll.

We're heading back 40 years to the summer of 1986 and one unforgettable journey along the railroad tracks. **Stand By Me** gave us four friends, a search for a missing boy, and a coming-of-age story filled with humor, danger, and the kind of friendships that seem like they'll last forever. So here on its 40th anniversary, we return to Castle Rock to see why this story of friendship and growing up still feels so painfully familiar.

Some classes that are no longer taught in school.Episode 258 brings the Gen-X nostalgia in time for going back to school.40 years ago this week, one of the seminal movies of 1980s kids' lives was released. Stand By Me was based on a Stephen King story and gave many kids of the time the desire to go hike the railroad tracks. We do a deep dive into the film, its importance, and the impact it had on kids at the time, like me.Also 40 years ago this week, one of the most popular and influential games for the original Nintendo was released. Metroid was heavily influenced by the film Alien but in turn also blazed a trail for future games. Perhaps the perfect game for Gen-X, it taught you to go explore and find your own way. Were you able to defeat Mother Brain? Did you know the main character was female?It's back to school time. This week's Top 5 ties in perfectly as we look at some classes that are no longer taught in school.

A song can disappear for decades, then come roaring back because a movie director picked the perfect closing credits. That's where we start, tracing how Ben E King's “Stand By Me” went from an early-'60s hit to a late-'80s revival, and why those second lives are one of the best parts of being a music fan. We also talk about John Lennon's take on the song and its connection to a 1987 U2 show.We also rewind to a truly old-school mashup experiment from 1981, built on vinyl and tape, answering The Who's “Who Are You” with rapid-fire Beatles titles long before anyone used the word “mashup.”The second half moves through the return of live music after the pandemic, with a Dead and Company night at Citi Field that turns into a reunion with friends, strangers, and the version of yourself that only shows up at a great show. We hit a run of rock touchstones along the way, including Sam the Sham's “Little Red Riding Hood,” and Phil Collins' “In the Air Tonight,” Then we go deep on the Rolling Stones “Tattoo You” album, the opening riff of "Start Me Up", Sonny Rollins' sax on “Waiting on a Friend,” Peter Gabriel's “So” and peak MTV video creativity, and Jimmy's spotlight on The Strokes' “Is This It”.Subscribe for more rock history, concert stories, and rediscovered favorites, and if this one brings back a memory, share it with a friend and leave us a review.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Recently, a dear friend asked me: "Do you and your husband actually get along all the time? Tell me the truth." So this week on Laugh Lines, we are pulling back the curtain on what it's actually like to be married, raise kids, AND work together every single day. We talk about the things we'll probably never agree on, why I have decision fatigue, and how sometimes it's okay to go to bed angry.We also get an update on Penn's Alzheimer's prevention journey. He recently overdid it at the gym and developed rhabdomyolysis, but what doctors learn from his bloodwork could have important implications for how new Alzheimer's blood tests are interpreted. Plus, we hear from you about the Gen X movies that hit VERY differently when you watch them with your kids. Clueless, Spaceballs, and Stand By Me. (Listen, it was a different time!)Finally, one thing we don't always agree on is what videos we make. So we also ask our Laugh Liners to let us know: Should we publish Penn's "Peeing In The Pool" parody? Buckle up for the world premiere right here on Laugh Lines. The decision is up to you! We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

Some movies don't just survive the passage of time—they become part of who we are. Released 40 years ago, Stand By Me captured something rare: the bittersweet moment when childhood gives way to adulthood. Based on Stephen King's novella The Body, the film transformed a simple search for a missing boy into one of the most heartfelt stories ever told about friendship, growing up and realizing that life only gets more complicated from there. In this classic episode of Stuck in the '80s, hosts Steve Spears and Brad Williams are joined by guest co-host Michelle Willits to celebrate one of the greatest films of the decade. Along the way, they compare Rob Reiner's film with King's original story, discuss what changed in the adaptation (and what stayed remarkably faithful), and tackle one of the movie's most emotional moments: that ending. Did it perfectly capture the spirit of the story? Could it have ended any other way? The hosts don't entirely agree. They also revisit the unforgettable performances from Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell, remember Kiefer Sutherland's menacing turn as Ace Merrill, and reflect on why Richard Dreyfuss' narration still packs such an emotional punch. Whether you first watched Stand By Me in a theater back in 1986 or discovered it years later, it's a movie that seems to hit a little differently with every viewing—and every stage of life.

In our last episode we looked at Grace Kelly, whose career was cut short by her own choice. She was given the option to be treated like a princess, or to go out and actually be an honest-to-god Princess. She chose both love and duty, since you can't really Princess and be a movie star at the same time. Fair. In today's episode, we look at a career that was cut short because the actor, who was otherwise very bright and talented, couldn't reel in his demons. River Phoenix died at the age of 23, of an overdose on Halloween night in 1993, collapsing outside a club he'd just left. The first film we'll be reviewing is the second film in his filmography, Stand By Me, directed by Rob Reiner. (Please note that Sean and I recorded this episode before Reiner's untimely death, which is why it's not addressed here.) Stand By Me is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella called The Body, and manages to improve on the original, possibly because King wasn't obviously writing for an eventual movie audience (a reason I mostly quit reading his stuff). The story follows four boys over a couple of days during the summer before they got to high school, on a journey to recover the body of someone who'd gone missing. They find the body, but they also find a lot of insights in each other. In Part 4 we'll look at Running on Empty, a film Phoenix made two years later.

Take 241: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 2The Peter Weir years. Jonathan and JP dig into the two-film stretch that makes the strongest case for Harrison Ford as a serious actor — and the one that proves audiences weren't ready to follow him there.First, Witness. The film every major studio passed on, that John Badham dismissed as "just another cop movie," that Sylvester Stallone turned down and later called one of the worst decisions of his career. The film that got Ford his only Oscar nomination, that Roger Ebert called a thriller Hitchcock would have been proud of, and that Peter Weir shot with the same cinematographer, composer, and editor he'd bring to the very next film. The barn-raising sequence. The dance to Wonderful World. The final porch scene with no dialogue at all. The big question: is this the best performance Ford ever gave?Then The Mosquito Coast. The film Weir had been trying to make since 1981, the one Jack Nicholson left over salary, the one Paul Schrader wrote, the one River Phoenix made at 15 years old before Stand By Me had even come out. Ford playing Allie Fox — brilliant, volatile, increasingly unhinged, dragging his family into the jungle on the conviction that America is finished and he can build something better from scratch. A character so far from Han Solo and John Book that audiences simply didn't show up. $14.3 million on a $25 million budget. Zero Oscar nominations. A genuine financial disaster.And underneath both films, the same question: Weir and Ford missed the Witness Oscar ceremony because they were already in Belize shooting Mosquito Coast. The film they skipped the ceremony for then flopped. Ford went back toward safer, more commercial roles. Indiana Jones. Patriot Games. The rest of the career we all know.Did the failure of Mosquito Coast close a door? And if audiences had embraced it — what kind of actor does Harrison Ford become?

Celluloid Heroes: Episode 19Film: Stand By Me (1986)In the 1980s the 50s were cool again, with Classic Rock, nostalgia-themed restaurants, and nostalgic movies leading the way. But the great Rob Reiner chose to commemorate the end of the 1950s in a different way, with a mournful and elegiac story about four friends embarking on a search for a dead teenager's body, and a search into themselves in the legendary Stand By Me. The movie that introduced Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Jerry O'Connell and Corey Feldman to the world at large, also introduced our host to the works of Stephen King as he settles into a new town, finds new friends, and reflects on the truth that you never have friends quite like the ones you have when you're twelve.

Actor and gentleman, Jerry O'Connell joins Jay and Bob for the first time to clear up any miscommunications. Jay mentions the lengthy messages that he sent Jerry, and the topic soon turns to Corey Feldman. Because they have been close since "Stand By Me," Jerry gives some insight into Corey's thinking and makes a fantastic promise to the Bonfire. | Big Jay was so nervous before Jerry entered, that he needed coaching from Bobby on how to act like a human being. | Guess who sends Jerry another message when he leaves... Jerry is currently in the movie "Summer's Last Resort" on Tubi right now! *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Lord, Stand By Me by Good News Baptist Church

In 1955, Kelly paired up with Alfred Hitchcock again, to make To Catch a Thief, co-starring Cary Grant. Grant plays a retired cat burglar who is suspected of committing a new series of robberies, so he sets up a big job as a kind of sting operation to nab the person who's making him look like he's returned to a life of crime. Grace Kelly plays one of his potential victims in this scheme, and there are all kinds of interesting twists that, when viewed through a modern lens, you may see coming, but then again you may not. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In our next episode we continue the series with a career cut short by tragedy. River Phoenix was an actor with a great deal of promise who unfortunately couldn't control his demons. We begin with Stand By Me from 1986 (which has a second tragedy attached to it by now, but we recorded this long before Rob Reiner's death), and then peek at one of his lesser-known—but of similar quality—films, Running On Empty, from 1988.

"All women have a garden, and a garden needs a big hose to water it... or a small hose... as long as it works." We watched "Now and Then" with a friend of the pod, Michael Valvo, and we'd like to speak to the spirit of Dear Johnny. This movie will forever be iconic and not just as the girl version of "Stand By Me." The comparisons are inevitable, but reductive - especially once you've actually watched the movie, Tamar.  The legacy and cultural impact of "Now and Then" are undeniable and thanks in no small part to the cast - millennials grew up with Christina Ricci, Gaby Hoffmann, Thora Birch, and Ashleigh Aston Moore (and Devon Sawa). These girls are best friend goals, and their summer together in 1970 is an adventure we're all still chasing. If we lived in the Gaslight Addition, we'd spend our entire summer bothering Wiladene, the waitress (Janeane Garofalo) at the diner, and her fortune-telling night job. Take us back to a time before MTV, Nintendo, and all the other modern distractions of 90's teenagers.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela 

Welcome back, WIFs!This week, Lauren and Michelle dive into the fascinating world of generational differences after a nostalgic night at Stand By Me sparked a conversation about Gen X, Millennials, and the experiences that shaped each generation.From drinking out of garden hoses and crafting the perfect AIM away message to navigating the transition from encyclopedias to smartphones, the sisters explore how childhood experiences influence the way we work, communicate, spend money, and view the world today.Inspired by a thought-provoking conversation between psychologist Jean Twenge and The Psychology Podcast, Lauren and Michelle discuss the cultural forces that have shaped different generations, including the impact of the pandemic, changing social norms, evolving technology, and the ways people often misunderstand one another across age groups.Press play, get cozy, and join the conversation about nostalgia, changing times, and finding appreciation for the generation you came from—and the ones that came before and after.Because no matter your generation, we're all just trying to figure it out as we go.Resources:A Cozy Night For ReadersFollow Us!Shop Our Seasonal CandlesCheck Out Our WebsiteThis episode is sponsored by Let It Be Us and Chicago Private Wealth Group.

Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood. In a world where one man has only seen 30 or so movies comes a desire to learn from a master. A master of film. A master of cinema. A master who has led such a sad life.  Logan seeks the knowledge and he turns to his own personal “Yoda”; Keithie. Join Logan & Keithie on a wild adventure to discover as we watch along with a new movie each episode in THE MOVIE EDUCATION OF LOGAN CROSLAND. This episode, Logan & Keithie are joined by Tim & Jenny as we watch a movie that Keithie, Tim & Jenny grew up with, Stand By Me.  We talk some Stephen King trivia along with what happens to the cast and we laugh and sigh at one of the most celebrated films from Rob Reiner. The original search for a dead body, count us in.  I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

This week we look back at the incredible career of one of Hollywood's most celebrated filmmakers. A guy who directed one of the greatest coming-of-age films ever made, one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made, one of the greatest mockumentaries ever made, one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever made, and one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made. And he never won an Academy Award. We are talking about Rob Reiner.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

Across this episode and the next, Justin and Bec are taking an extensive look at Elvis' home recordings made during his time in the US Army while serving in Germany. Though none of them surfaced until after his death, as we learned from "The Colonel & The King" last year, Elvis was explicitly encouraged by his manager to record material at home in secret. Excerpts from the tapes have appeared on such releases as A Legendary Performer Vol. 4, A Golden Celebration, Home Recordings, and Memphis Recording Services' "Made in Germany" - and by sheer coincidence, on the day we recorded the episode, the official Elvis collector's label Follow That Dream announced an upcoming 2026 box set "Elvis - Soldier Boy" that will feature two books and new restorations of these home recordings. What we hear on the tapes is a a fly on the wall glimpse of a deeply private celebrity during a period of intense homesick and loneliness, coping with the grief of having lost his mother and being away from everything he's come to know as a successful musician and film star... but also a determined, fully invested artist developing his skills. Plainly evident is Elvis exploring concepts and styles with friends, family and creative collaborators like Red West and Charlie Hodge, for his return to his career upon the end of his military service.  Songs like "Like A Baby" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight" foreshadow Elvis' singles and secular "Elvis is Back" album from 1960, while his love of gospel continues to be evident as "He Knows Just What I Need" and "His Hand in Mine" similarly nod toward the coming gospel album. Yet there on these tapes that Elvis never again touched (on known recordings, anyway): Hank Williams' "I Can't Help It If I Still In Love With You," Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa," and Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me," and many more! Was he just fooling around with songs he'd heard, or was he seriously considering these for his upcoming albums? And with material like "Are You Sincere," "Stand By Me" and "Danny Boy" popping up here, too: how do these home recordings fit into the larger puzzle of Elvis' musical journey from pre-Sun Records all the way to the Jungle Room? We ponder all that and more. A technical note: Aside from clips from the above box sets/compilations where specifically mentioned, most of the audio from the home recordings you'll hear is audio that has been "re-balanced" on a per-track basis for the purposes of education, analysis and historical interest. While the new FTD set is not available yet, and MRS's release was a decently faithful restoration of the tape, other releases have featured excessive noise removal, so much of what you hear in this episode are careful adjustments that aim to retain full content and quality while making the vocal nuances a bit clearer as though the tape recorder had been a bit closer to Elvis & the other vocalists' mouths rather than closer to the instruments. Hopefully you may hear little inflections or details you hadn't ever heard before!

Now that The Dark Tower is out of the way, it's time to dive into perhaps author Stephen King's most well regarded book of stories -or novellas- Different Seasons. But before we get to Apt Pupil and Stand By Me, we review the adaptation of the first story in the volume, a little film called The Shawshank Redemption. With Rob Reiner (eventually) giving first time feature director Frank Darabont the chance to adapt the story (called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption in the book), the film came out…and hit with a thud. That is, until that year's Oscar nominations and Ted Turner's network TNT got into the act. Suddenly, Shawshank was being played multiple times a year, exposing the film to dads everywhere, and eventually becoming the number one rated film on IMDB. Now, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast puts the Morgan Freeman/Tim Robbins film to the test! Will everyone, including noted King pessimist Adam, agree with the IMDB score?

If you're of a certain age, you may not know the name Andy Lindberg. But you definitely know his most famous role. Andy played Lard Ass Hogan in the legendary Rob Reiner film "Stand By Me," one of the most beloved coming-of-age movies ever made. His scene, the unforgettable "barf-o-rama" at the pie-eating contest, remains one of the most memorable movie moments of the 1980s. It was gross. It was hilarious. It was impossible to forget. Andy was 14 years old when he filmed the scene in Oregon, a local kid doing local theater who suddenly found himself working on a major motion picture based on a Stephen King story and directed by a man who would go on to become one of the great filmmakers of his generation. And then life kept going. In this episode, Andy shares what it was like to be cast as Lard Ass, how he felt about the role as a teenager, what it was like to return to high school after the movie came out, and why he has had to rethink the shame he carried for years about being "the right fat kid in the right place at the right time." He also shares some wonderful behind-the-scenes stories from the set, including working with Rob Reiner, watching Kiefer Sutherland hold the boom mic, and putting his face into what he estimates were more than 250 pies over the course of filming. To this day, blueberry pie is not exactly his favorite dessert. But Andy's story doesn't end with "Stand By Me." Not even close. After years of acting, including a move to New York and stage work around the country, Andy eventually returned home to Oregon. Today, he is the executive director of Westwind, a remarkable camp and natural area on the Oregon coast that helps kids unplug, connect with nature, and experience something increasingly rare: being fully present in a beautiful place. For Andy, running a summer camp is not as different from theater as it might seem. Both involve creating a temporary world; both have a beginning, middle, and end; both can change people in ways they may not understand until years later. In this episode, Andy shares his journey from childhood movie fame to steward of nature, from the stage to the forest, and from one unforgettable movie scene to a life built around helping kids find wonder in the real world. As Andy says, life is long. You can change course entirely. And it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be. To learn more about Andy's work, visit Westwind.org. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here. We may read your review on a future episode!

Obsession rules. It's the latest horror sensation to take over the box office and has the genre community abuzz with how good it is. So naturally we had to get two of the stars on the show to talk about their cool ass movie and their favorite Stephen King things.So, we're joined by Michael Johnston and Cooper Tomlinson and topics include their Stephen King origin stories, which King movie adaptations have influenced their work, and so much more. You will get talk about Stand By Me, The Shining, 11/22/63, Mike Flanagan, Pennywise, and even a little more Revival peer pressure from the Kingcast boys.Obsession is out now in a theater near you!
