Episode 156 Defending Your Life
The question of what happens to us after we die is a foundational part of the human condition. In Defending Your Life (1991), Albert Brooks imagines an afterlife pitstop that resembles an office park, where recently deceased souls defend less-than-flattering moments from their lives in a courtroom/therapy setting. While romantic comedies aren’t our usual faire, this one stands out due to its strong concept, clever script, and an effortless performance from Meryl Streep. Join us (and our past selves) as we touch on the topics of dildo impalement, Rip Torn’s criminal record, and masks/Mask/The Mask, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
