Last week, we started a deep dive into the filmography of micro-observant comedian and satirist Albert Brooks. This week, we bring it all home with his last four feature films: "Defending Your Life", "Mother", "The Muse" and "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World".

It’s a tale that involves trials in the afterlife, post-9/11 socially-minded comedies, and overly critical parental units.

So board your tram to the hereafter, kiss your Mom goodbye, and join your wonky yet affable host!

This Week's Recommendation(s): “Claudine" (1974)
