Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction

Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction (2009) is Robin Williams' fifth HBO stand-up special — watch it online on iFILM. Shot live at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the show arrives at a specific moment in American history: the wreckage of the Bush years, two wars still running, the economy cratering.

Williams takes it all apart piece by piece, then turns the same gaze on himself — a heart surgery, sobriety, getting older. Compared to the manic speed of his 2002 Broadway show, this one runs colder and more political. Stream Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction (2009) online on iFILM.
