Episode 2, “The Golden Run: 1984–1995,” chronicles Rob Reiner’s extraordinary ascent from sitcom star to one of Hollywood’s most versatile and successful directors. Spanning an eight-year creative streak rarely matched in modern cinema, the episode explores how Reiner reinvented comedy with This Is Spinal Tap, captured childhood and mortality in Stand By Me, created a cult classic with The Princess Bride, redefined romance in When Harry Met Sally…, and delivered unforgettable intensity with Misery and A Few Good Men. Alongside professional triumphs, the episode examines Reiner’s marriage to Michele Singer, his growing family, and the first quiet signs of trouble beneath the surface—setting the stage for the personal reckoning to come.
