Mike makes Allyson watch the 1991 afterlife romantic comedy Defending Your Life. When Mike was a teenager, he found this to be a profoundly moving piece of cinema. Now that he's closer to the icy cold hand of the grim reaper readying his scythe to usher Mike to the other side, will this still be as gripping as it once was? What will Allyson think of this existential film that largely flew under the radar?

Defending Your Life was written, directed and acted by Albert Brooks. It costars Meryl Streep, Rip Torn and Lee Grant. There's so much trivia about this, Mike doesn't even have time to mention that silent film star Maxine Elliott Hicks in a small role.
