By Watch the Hilarious & Profound Philosophies of Detroit Larry

Detroit Larry: The Bitter Truth
Eric elaborates on Detroit Larry:
“My uncle (Albert Hughes) and I recently finished a documentary on Detroit as a part of a larger film series called ‘We The Economy’.
Since we finished the documentary, my uncle and I have been putting together a small web series based on one of our hilarious, yet profound interview subjects. Using outtakes that we’re ‘too colorful’ for the larger documentary, our web series consists of 17 episodes, each under a minute, where “Detroit” Larry gives us his bitter take on the world. He’s like a real life version of Fred Sanford and George Jefferson. He’s a bitter pill that can be both ignorant and profound within the same sentence.“
