  • Episode 144: Stand By Me (1986) // Coming-of-age Classic!
    Nov 5 2024

    This week we revisit Stand By Me, Rob Reiner’s 1986 classic that captures the bittersweet magic of childhood friendships and coming-of-age in small-town America. Based on Stephen King’s novella The Body, Stand By Me tells the story of four boys on a journey to find a missing boy’s body, and in the process, they discover more about themselves and each other than they could have ever imagined.

    We discuss the film’s standout performances, from Wil Wheaton and River Phoenix to Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell, and how each character’s vulnerabilities and strengths make the story so timeless. We also explore the film’s deeper themes of friendship, loss, and the struggles of growing up, sharing personal memories and the impact the movie had on them over the years.

    Is Stand By Me one of the greatest coming-of-age films ever made? Does it still resonate with today’s audiences the way it did in the ‘80s?
