Albert Brooks makes the afterlife one fun place to visit.

Defending Your Life is the funnyman's 1991 classic, which wasn't quite a box office success, but is easily one of his best films. Co-starring Meryl Streep and Rip Torn, it follows a man who dies, and then must justify his life if he hopes to move on.

Otherwise, he'll get sent back to Earth to try all over again.

Frank Posillico and Michael Sheridan discuss the film, its humor, and life after death.
