Send us a textWe close out our “Past Lives” theme with Defending Your Life, starring Albert Brooks as a deceased man who must defend the choices he made in life in order for his spirit to move along on its journey. This also marks the first film we've discussed featuring the titular star of Karl's rating system, the always amazing Meryl Streep! We also discuss what NOT to do when suffering a traumatic brain injury, what makes a comedy a “dark comedy”, and we talk about our own experiences in a courtroom. What's the verdict? Tune in to find out! 

Nothing says romance like flowers, chocolates - and a masked serial killer terrorizing young couples. Welcome to "Heart Eyes," the latest horror-romantic comedy hybrid that slashes into theaters on February 7—just in time to make Valentine's Day a little bloodier. In this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo sits down with director Josh Ruben to talk about the challenge of blending rom-com sweetness with slasher-movie carnage, his deep love of horror, and why this story stands apart from others in the genre. Written by Christopher Landon, Phillip Murphy, and Michael Kennedy, "Heart Eyes" follows a masked killer who has made February 14 a date night to die for, quite literally. The film stars Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Devon Sawa, Jordana Brewster, and more. During the interview, Director Josh Ruben details the delicate balancing act of making “Heart Eyes” work on all fronts. “I didn't want it to be too funny—I wanted it to go darker, gorier,” Ruben admitted. But at the same time, the romance had to feel genuine. “If I could find two leads with real chemistry, I could pay loving homage to the rom-coms I grew up on—'Pretty Woman,' 'Defending Your Life,' 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' even 'Big.”

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 125 - Deborah Scott - Costume Designer Costume designer Deborah Scott (AVATAR, TITANIC, DEFENDING YOUR LIFE) joins us in this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. During our wide-ranging conversation, we learn how a childhood diet of drive-in theatre westerns developed her appetite for cinematic storytelling, and we discuss Deborah's long career outfitting characters representing extraterrestrial aliens, the denizens of the afterlife, and everyday people from our past, present, and potential futures. Deborah also reflects on her experience embodying the characters of E.T. THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL to develop the children's costumes for the film, and she details the level of rigor with which she preps before presenting a director with ideas after being brought aboard a project. Deborah also contrasts the difficulty inherent in the open-ended nature of designing for sci-fi films with the specificity inherent in period films, and she highlights the invaluable contributions from the entire costume department that facilitate the realization of all that clothing on screen. Plus, towards the end, Deborah shares how she juggles being a parent and being a filmmaker. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Motion design, animation, visual effects, live action production, typography, Erin Sarofsky and her team can do it all. Sarofsky designed titles for Guardians of the Galaxy, Werewolf by Night, and Echo, as well as James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, plus comedies Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community. Erin talks about the 1991 comedy Defending Your Life, written and directed by Albert Brooks who starred alongside Meryl Streep, Rip Torn, and Lee Grant. Brooks plays Daniel, who dies and winds up in Judgment City, where recently deceased have access to all the food they want, plus other luxuries, but face an examination that feels like a courtroom trial. -Defending Your Life (1991)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101698/https://www.criterion.com/films/29634-defending-your-life-Albert Brookshttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt20274588/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/albert-brooks-movies-defending-my-life/678213/ -Erin Sarofskyhttps://www.sarofsky.com/ https://www.sarofsky.com/work/community/https://www.sarofsky.com/work/brooklyn-nine-nine/ https://www.sarofsky.com/work/werewolf-by-night/https://www.instagram.com/sarofsky_design/-Other movies discussedhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099316/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095188/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16533296/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078346/

He has compiled extensive research and gives numerous examples from many reputable physicists that turn the reigning scientific paradigm upside down and he indicates what this implies for our everyday lives.

I'm thrilled to have Adrienne LaFrance of The Atlantic on the show this week to discuss her profile of Albert Brooks and more generally celebrate his greatness. From movies like Broadcast News and Defending Your Life, to voicework on The Simpsons and Finding Nemo, to his under-appreciated villainy in Drive, Brooks's talents have wowed multiple generations of moviegoers and TV watchers. 

It's time to celebrate Mother's Day with a very special episode this week! Vee and John went to the source and asked their mothers to pick the movies for this episode, and they did not disappoint. This is: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, and Defending Your Life

Albert Brooks: Interviews (UP of Mississippi, 2024) brings together fourteen profiles of and conversations with Brooks (b. 1947), in which he contemplates, expounds upon, and hilariously jokes about the connections between his show business upbringing, an ambivalence about the film industry, the nature of fame and success, and the meaning and purpose of comedy. Throughout all these encounters, Brooks expresses an unwavering commitment to his own artistic expression as a filmmaker and a rejection of mainstream conventions. With his questioning and critical disposition, nothing seems certain for Albert Brooks except for the integrity of art and the necessity for a wry skepticism about the incongruities of everyday life in corporate America. Brooks is neither a Hollywood insider nor an outsider. He's somewhere in-between. Since the early 1970s, this inimitable actor-writer-director has incisively satirized the mass media system from within. After initial work as an inventive comedian, both live and on network television, Brooks contributed six shorts to the first season of Saturday Night Live, which earned him a cult following for their avant-garde form and sensibility. These were followed by his feature debut, Real Life, the first of only seven films—including Modern Romance, Lost in America, and Defending Your Life—that Brooks has directed to date. His limited output reflects not only the difficulty in financing idiosyncratic films, but equally the exacting seriousness which Brooks has in making audiences laugh and think at the same time. Alexander Greenhough teaches in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K.

The 1991 romantic comedy-fantasy film Defending Your Life, one of my favorite movies, was written, directed and starred Albert Brooks.There was a lot of talent in that family. Charles Einstein wrote several novels including, The Bloody Spur, on which the 1956 film While The City Sleeps, directed by Fritz Lang of Metropolis fame, was based. Charles wrote 5 short fiction stories in the late 1950s and early 60s. Look for his first short fiction story Tunnel 1971, written in 1957 in a future episode. Discover the third of Einstein's 5 stories on page 77 of If Worlds of Science Fiction in August 1958, Short Snorter by Charles Einstein…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we'll hear a story written by a teenage descendant of Simon Bolivar, What lasts forever? Does love? Does death?... Nothing lasts forever.... Not even forever Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo

This week, Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler team up with Mike Noyes and Charlie Peterson from the 'Random Acts of Cinema' podcast for a deep dive into the cinematic world of 1979. And opinions are SPLIT. Brad's choice the group is Albert Brooks' directorial debut "Real Life," an under-the-radar satire that presciently critiques the rise of reality television. On the flip side, Jake recommends "Moonraker," a James Bond adventure that takes the franchise to outer space, a place some wish it would have stayed. Luckily, Charlie is a Bond maniac and has plenty to say in the movie's defense. Listen to Random Acts of Cinema.

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.
