In this week’s Cinema Callback, Andy and Michael rewind to Albert Brooks’ sharp and strange 1979 mockumentary Real Life. As Brooks inserts himself into a suburban household in the name of science (and spectacle), the guys untangle the film’s hilarious send-up of documentary ethics, performative behavior, and the weird need to be watched. One of the great meta comedies, decades ahead of its time.
