Wanna go see a dead body? The boys invite one of their friends, Tyler, on for the second guest review episode. A few options are thrown out but they finally decide on 1986's Stand By Me. This movie was adapted from Stephen King's book, The Body, and has an absolutely stacked cast. We get into both of those things and many more along the way. 

This movie was directed by Rob Reiner.

After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance, Vern Tessio, Chris Chambers, and Teddy Duchamp encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
