One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

You Lost the Nest Egg: The Films of Albert Brooks, Part II
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)
