Real Life

A very relevant satire (and accurate prediction) of reality shows from comedian Albert Brooks. Made in the late 70’s, a large part of the comedy comes from the cameramen interfering with the “reality” and how the documentarians will ultimately “script” everything that you eventually see. Preemptively pokes fun at all the trashy “Duck Dynasty”, bickering family shows. Not ha-ha funny as much as pointed satire, but so astute.
