Stand By Me

from GenXGrownUp Podcast · host Evergreen Podcasts

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.
