The movie
Show notes
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Michael Chau discuss legendary American comedian Albert Brooks (as an actor and a director): his debut satirical feature REAL LIFE (1979) that darkly, prophetically satirized reality TV ethics and sociopathy before it was anywhere near as popular as it is now + his attempt to tone down the post-modern cynicism and deliver a warmer, more gentle (yet still existential and witty) romantic comedy with DEFENDING YOUR LIFE (1991) co-starring Meryl Streep. Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on WHOEVER SLEW AUNTIE ROO?
