Slome Movies Freebie: Be Kind Rewind (w/Brendan Whelton)

Ep. 78
you have no idea how psyched bird was to snag this guest also this movie hit bird's emotional sap button again


Bird and Bugs are joined by filmmaker and manager of Bay Street Video in Toronto Brendan Whelton (@brenfilmto) to talk about 2008's Be Kind Rewind, amateur filmmaking, community organizing, and the return of the video store. Check out Brendan's films in the Slomecast Showcase he put together for us! The audio's a little wonky, but Bird did their best.


The episode's bumper is made from the instrumental of Pink Guy's "RICE BALLS"!


The show wouldn't be possible without the support of our Big Slomie patron Primm Slim, and our Verified Mutant patrons Aelian, ntwitch, The Robot, and candyalchemist (who is still the guest host until Fish's eventual return so he can stop paying us now.).
