The New Year is right around the corner and this becomes a time of celebration, reflection and in the case of cinephiles around the world, a time of appreciation for the storytellers who we lost along the way. Amongst the many we've lost this year who brought cinephiles joy is the late great Rob Reiner. Join this edition of On Film with guest host Carlos de la Torre and special guest, Tower Production's Viceprecident of Production and TowerCast Network co-host, Michael De La O, to discuss Reiner's career and impact in film.

Charles Horak didn't sleep much as a child, preferring instead to watch movies on late night TV. Not much has changed since then, except that he now shares his life-long passion for movies with others. Horak's association with On Film began in the summer of 2002 when he was interviewed by the show's originator, Cynthia Haines. In the summer of 2005, Horak took over for Haines as host of the show.
