    Its a Tragedy ( Details of the killing of Rob Reiner)

    In this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren breaks down the latest developments in the shocking case involving Nick Reiner, who has been charged in connection with the brutal killings of his parents, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner. Loren walks listeners through what we know so far—from Nick Reiner’s first court appearance and his high-profile defense attorney, Alan Jackson, to new reports alleging long-standing mental health struggles, substance abuse, and a schizophrenia diagnosis. As new legal details emerge, the central question becomes clear: will Nick Reiner plead not guilty by reason of insanity? This episode explores what that defense actually means, the legal burden required to prove it, and how medical records, psychiatric treatment, and expert testimony could shape the outcome. Lauren also discusses the emotional impact on the surviving family, the public scrutiny surrounding the case, and whether an insanity defense is fair—or appropriate—in a crime of this magnitude.

    Things Are Getting Streaming

    Today on the show Loren LoRosa breaks down what might be the clearest sign yet that traditional television is officially on its way out. From the Oscars announcing a historic move from ABC to YouTube beginning in 2029, to The Breakfast Club and other major podcasts partnering with Netflix, the entertainment industry is undergoing a massive streaming-first shift. Lauren unpacks what these deals really mean for Hollywood, legacy studios, creators, and audiences—why old-school media can no longer fight the digital wave, and how streaming platforms are redefining power, access, and storytelling. She also explores how this evolution opens the door for a new generation of creators, especially those who understand internet culture, audience engagement, and doing more with less. Is this the end of cable as we knew it? What happens when prestige institutions finally embrace platforms built for the internet? And how can creators position themselves to win in this new era?
