The Super Bob Einstein Movie (2021) - When the Barenaked Ladies posted on Instagram that they'd written the song for the end title credits, there was no question we'd be tuning in on drop day. The Super Dave show was an absolute staple in our house in the 80's. Bob Einstein played the title character, Super Dave Osborne, an accomplished stuntman who never seems to successfully perform a stunt. The failure of these stunts was always catastrophic and hysterical. Einstein played Super Dave to perfection. Recently Einstein is probably best known for his role as Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm. He's also brother to Albert Brooks.
Bob Einstein passed away in January of 2019 and this documentary is really a celebration of what a comedic genius he was. This doc has great interviews with Einstein's younger brother Albert Brooks, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Letterman, Larry David and the rest of the Curb cast. It goes over all the great Super Dave bits and the Marty Funkhouser highlights. Einstein was obviously well loved and respected and as these interviews can attest. I really enjoyed hearing the breakdown of how Bob Einstein made his characters so funny. If you're a Super Dave or a Marty Funkhouser fan, this feel good doc is for you.
We watched this on Crave.
