2025 ended with a truly unthinkable tragedy that we are all still reeling from. Retro Ridoctopus could think of no better way to pay tribute to the great Rob Reiner, than by dedicating the first episode of season 8 to those films of his that have brought us so much joy for so many decades.
From tense courtrooms, to the Cliffs of Insanity and the thousand laughs and tears in between, we each picked two movies Rob directed and try our best to put into words what these true classics have meant to us over the years.
