  • Summary

  • Jay and Ryan cover the Albert Brooks afterlife comedy, Defending Your Life, which also stars Meryl Streep and Rip Torn.

    For those of you unfamiliar with this awesome film, here's a quick synopsis: Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) isn't having a good week. For starters, he died after he got hit by a bus. Then he discovers that in the afterlife he must defend his actions on Earth in order to ascend to a higher plane of existence. While awaiting judgment, he falls in love with Julia (Meryl Streep), whose near-perfect life on Earth seemingly makes her a shoe-in for ascension. However, Daniel's actions in his lifetime might not be enough for him to move on.

    Our recommendations discussed in this episode include the John Candy classic, "Summer Rental" and another Albert Brooks gem, "Lost in America."
