    470 A FEW GOOD MEN Part 1 - The Season of Rob Reiner

    On this week's episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their Season of Rob Reiner with part 1 of their deep dive and exploration of 1992's A FEW GOOD MEN. An American legal drama film, produced and directed by Rob Reiner and written by Aaron Sorkin, who adapted his 1989 play. It stars an ensemble cast including Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, J. T. Walsh, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Kiefer Sutherland. The plot follows the court-martial of two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of a fellow Marine and the tribulations of their lawyers as they prepare a case. It grossed $243 million on a budget of $40 million. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Jack Nicholson, Best Film Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

    Bonus Short: Wonder Man

    John and Steve dive into a spoiler-filled review of Wonder Man—and they don’t hold back. Joined by John’s Geek Buddies partner, actor Shannon McClung, the conversation zeroes in on what makes the series so unexpectedly special: its deeply felt, painfully honest portrayal of the life of a working actor. From auditions and ego to insecurity, ambition, and the strange alchemy of performance, the trio explores why Wonder Man might be one of the most authentic depictions of an actor’s passion they’ve ever seen. At the center of it all is the relationship between Simon and Trevor—a genuine bromance built on rivalry, loyalty, resentment, and love. It’s a conversation about art, friendship, identity, and the cost of chasing the spotlight—and why this show surprised them in all the right ways.

    469 When Harry Met Sally Part 3 - SEASON OF ROB REINER

    On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their Season of Rob Reiner celebrating the films of Rob Reiner by wrapping up their deep dive and exploration of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY with Part 3 of their discussion on it. Considered by many to be the greatest rom com ever made, it stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as Harry and Sally along with the late Bruno Kirby and the late Carrie Fisher with a script from Nora Ephron who was nominated for an Oscar for her work. The film follows the title characters from the time they meet in Chicago and share a drive to New York City through twelve years of chance encounters in New York, and addresses the question "Can men and women ever just be friends?" It also features an excellent soundtrack full of standards and new interpretations of classic songs from Harry Connick Jr. and his trio. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene and break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, themes, message, philosophical debates and more.

    Bonus Short: Catherine O'Hara

    John and Steve take a wide-ranging look at the career of Catherine O’Hara, one of the great comic performers of the last fifty years. From her foundational work on SCTV, through iconic turns in Home Alone, the Christopher Guest ensemble films, and her voice work in The Nightmare Before Christmas. They also explore her remarkable late-career renaissance—from Schitt’s Creek to The Studio and The Last of Us—and why her work feels both effortlessly funny and deeply human, no matter the medium.

    Bonus Short: New Shows

    There are two new series starting up that are both right in John and Steve’s wheelhouse. As lifelong Star Trek fans, they couldn’t wait to check out Starfleet Academy and, of course, they weren’t going to miss the latest entry into the world of Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Both shows expand beloved, long-running universes with devoted fan bases and enormous expectations, but they approach the task in very different ways. John and Steve think one of them knocks it out of the park, while the other is still searching for its footing.

    Bonus Short: The Casting Oscar

    For the first time ever, the Academy Awards are adding a category for Casting—and it’s long overdue. In this short, John Rocha and Steve Morris talk about why casting isn’t just an administrative task, but one of the most creative and consequential decisions made on any film. They discuss famous casting choices that defined iconic movies, the often-invisible work of casting directors, and how many legendary performances only exist because someone saw possibility where others didn’t. Casting shapes tone, chemistry, story, and even the kinds of films that get made. This new Oscar isn’t symbolic—it recognizes work that has always mattered, even when it went unrecognized. If you love movies, you’ve been shaped by great casting—whether you realized it or not.
