Now that we've gotten past the 1980s, it's time to go back in time, specifically 1979. Yes, we're finally discussing the PBS reality show parody "Real Life" and then the entire filmography of its director: comedian and micro-observant satirist Albert Brooks! We're getting paranoid with "Modern Romance" and we'll lose ourselves in "Lost in America".

It’s a tale that involves PBS parodies, unhealthy relationships, Stanley Kubrick, and a heaping helping of Julie Hagerty.
