Real Life

“Real Life, Albert Brooks. When I was 17 I met Ben Stiller. We had a mutual friend and I went to have Thanksgiving at that friend's House and he told me about this movie because I was talking about how much I love Spinal Tap and he said, 'Well if you like Spinal Tap there's a great movie called Real Life.' And it's just hilarious.”

“This is a very, very, very underrated Albert Brooks, Real Life. His first film, and… so still ahead of its time. So meta. He’s playing himself, this, like, blowhard Hollywood guy who goes into this town. The way it ends in spectacle. I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s just… it’s kind of a self-destructive moment that ends in artifice in a way that will always be relevant. It’s just really funny. Also he… is really hot in this.”

“Real Life, the mockumentary, which… I mean, honestly, I want to do lines from it. Nothing is a greater gift.”
