Episode description

Werner Herzog has directed more than 70 films, but Family Romance LLC is the first he's directed in Japanese, a language he doesn't speak.


The film is about a real-life Japanese company, Family Romance LLC, that rents out fathers and other loved ones to families in need.


Herzog himself was fatherless from a very young age, but he says that isn't what attracted him to Family Romance LLC. In fact, he says, he and his brother appreciated not having a father.


He also tells fathers how to talk with their children, tells moms how to get their sons to get rid of their motorcycles, and endorses this viral video.


If you like this one, share it with someone in your family, real or imaginary.
