Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 108 - Real Life

For this week's episode of Say Hello to My Little Film Ray tries to fill a blind spot for Rob by recommending a feature from one of comedy's funniest voices, Albert Brooks. In his 1979 directorial debut Real Life, Albert Brooks crafts a biting send up of Cinema Verite or what we now commonly refer to as "reality TV". 

Join us as we dissect the prescient nature of Real Life and connect the dots to the modern obsession with the genre, in which we hope to answer the question, can you truly film real life? 

Will Rob's already established admiration for Albert Brooks find him loving this long-missed classic? Or will his deep held disdain for modern reality TV force him to throw Real Life onto the trash heap of history? Tune in to find out!
