This week we are deviating from our normal subject matter slightly in covering Albert Brooks's wonderful 1991 film Defending Your Life as a way of introducing the miniseries we'll be running for the next month. The afterlife seems like a natural corollary to the show's typical focus on the end of the world, and Brooks's film felt like a good way in, as it explores a secular vision of the world to come, one ruled by a bureaucracy focused entirely assessing the extent to which you have succeeded in overcoming fear. It's a great movie and we had fun talking about it.
This episode contains spoilers for Defending Your Life.
Theme music for this episode is from "After Life" by No Sky God.
