George Carlin's American Dream (2022)

Genre: Documentary / Author’s Favorites
Directed by: Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio
Starring: Kelly Carlin, Bill Burr, Kevin Smith
Number of episodes: 2

 


This 2-episode documentary covers the life and career of comedian George Carlin, taking a look in the process at the man’s vision of life in America. Through archive footage and interviews with people who knew him or admired him, we get such a global vision of the brilliant comedian that he was. And, in spite of his flaws, we end up loving him more. At least I did.

I was amazed at the amount of archive footage they had. They even had some very interesting interviews with his late wife Brenda. This is such a good documentary. I will probably have to watch it again soon to grasp the full measure of it all. Loved it!
