It’s time for another Listener’s Choice episode! For this round, listener Jeremy Wickett was chosen and gave us Albert Brooks’ 1991 film “Defending Your Life” to discuss. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we talk about Brooks’ movie. We talk with Wickett about why he likes the movie and what made him pick this film as the one he wanted to hear us cover on the show. We discuss our own opinions about the film, look at some of the problems it has, and, even though neither of us ended up loving it like Wickett does, look at what works. We chat about Brooks, the actor, and what he brings to the role, as well as a bit about his background in comedy and, more specifically, with SNL. And we look at the rest of the cast, including the brilliant Meryl Streep, Rip Torn, Buck Henry, Lee Grant and even Shirley MacLaine. It’s an interesting concept of a film that never completely worked for us, but one we have a great time discussing. Tune in! * * * Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we’re doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it’s just a nice thing to do.
