I have objective views and I am a jerk. I am catholic and I am conservative, but this is not a faith based or political podcast. I am a "normal" person that likes to discuss many topics and although I view things through a catholic/conservative lens, my time in the Army has also left me with an a*****e complex. I am not an expert nor am I perfect, but I am Objective and I am a Jerk, so join the Objective Jerk as my Catholic conscience battles with my veteran outlook.

    LAPD PRESS BRIEFING ABOUT NOTHING: The investigation into the murder of Rob Reiner is a FARCE

    DIRECTOR OF THE PRINCESS BRIDE WAS MURDERED. What does President Trump think?

    Send us a text A packed church, a short fuse, and a promise to stop rambling set the tone for a raw dive into movies, politics, and the pressure cooker of social media. I start with a simple fix—bullet points to keep thoughts straight—then trace how unpredictability grinds at patience, especially if you’ve learned to brace for surprise. From there, the conversation zooms in on Rob Reiner’s legacy: not just the headlines, but the films that shaped a generation—This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men, The Bucket List. The heart of the episode wrestles with a loaded question: can you love the work when the creator’s politics wear you out? Actors are hard to ignore on screen; directors can fade behind the story. But in a culture fueled by hot takes, the line between creator and creation gets thinner every day. We read Donald Trump’s viral post about Reiner word for word and break down the choices behind it—timing, tone, and whether blunt honesty is strategy or just fatigue talking. The answer isn’t tidy, and that’s the point: accuracy can still be ill-timed, and style can be substance when the whole game rewards escalation. We also talk about social media’s outrage loop—how rage bait works, why it’s so profitable, and what it costs your focus. The reported details around Reiner’s case bring up tougher themes: addiction, family conflict, and public grief that never gets the privacy it deserves. No gloating, no victory laps—just a reminder to hold the facts, skip the dopamine rush, and keep your humanity when the feed won’t. If you’re tired of noise but still love great films, this one’s for you. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves movies, and leave a quick review to tell us where you stand on separating art from the artist. Your take might shape the next episode. Support the show Again, thanks for hanging out with me! Please feel free to comment or send an email to theobjectivejerk@gmail.com

    WHAT A NETFLIX–WARNER DEAL MEANS FOR FILM: Theaters and physical media.

    Send us a text We weigh the Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, why theaters won’t die but will shrink, and why physical media still matters when streaming purges the forgettable and the future cult classics.
