  • The Treat: Jason Isaacs
    Dec 27 2025

    Actor Jason Isaacs has had a long, pigeon-hole proof career with meaty roles from the villainous Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films to Colonel Tavington in The Patriot. Isaacs’ role as a tormented father in season three of the HBO series The White Lotus earned him a Golden Globe nomination and a primetime Emmy nomination earlier this year. However, it’s an early role on stage that he cites as a highlight of his career and a very tough act to follow.

  • Final reflections from Rob Reiner on his father's legacy
    Dec 20 2025

    The late director Rob Reiner’s prolific talents spanned medium and genre. Reiner started out as an actor on Norman Lear’s classic sitcom All In the Family. He then made the transition to behind the camera with ease, directing comedic gems including This is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, and The Princess Bride. He proved equally adept at drama with Stand by Me and Misery. For The Treat, Reiner paid tribute to a multi-talented inspiration whose influence stayed with him his whole life — his father, Carl.

    This reflection was recorded in September and is being released for the first time.
