The film celebrates the life & legacy of the late actor, writer and comedy producer Bob Einstein. Written, produced, and directed by Danny Gold and produced by George Shapiro & Aimee Hyatt, the documentary film features some of Einstein's greatest comedic contributions, including his iconic alter-ego Super Dave Osborne, his work both behind and in front of the camera on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," and his defining role as the unforgettable Marty Funkhouser on HBO’s "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The film also explores Einstein's unlikely discovery and enduring entertainment career, sharing the many evolving layers of his comedy from the people that knew him best.

This looks like such a great documentary. I loved watching Super Dave as a kid, and have loved watching Bob Einstein on Curb Your Enthusiasm. He passed away in 2019, and is sorely missed, but this will be a fun way to remember him. HBO will debut The Super Bob Einstein Movie streaming on HBO Max starting on December 28th, 2021. Check out the trailer and poster below, and enjoy.
