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.
There's a great Bob Einstein episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee which goes into more detail on their father's death.
This was great, thanks. Albert Brooks is the best. Great interview
My favorite 'scientific' fact comes from Brooks's "Real Life"--
"You know you spend eighty percent of your life looking at walls!"
