Stand By Me
About this episode
The episode revisits the film 'Stand By Me' on its 40th anniversary, exploring themes of friendship and growing up.
We’re heading back 40 years to the summer of 1986 and one unforgettable journey along the railroad tracks. **Stand By Me** gave us four friends, a search for a missing boy, and a coming-of-age story filled with humor, danger, and the kind of friendships that seem like they’ll last forever. So here on its 40th anniversary, we return to Castle Rock to see why this story of friendship and growing up still feels so painfully familiar.
