1991, Ep. 6

Albert Brooks writes, directs, and stars in this movie about what happens after you die.  Spoiler alert: you have to defend your life to a room of super-smart afterlife lawyers, who decide if you passed. 

The food is amazing, though, and you get to hang out with young, hot, and very chill Meryl Streep!
