Ep. 15 - Viral fame; Randy Guthmiller on Dallas' zine scene; Jason Reimer on saving the Lakewood Theater and his Chitlin' Circuit project

Host Chris Vognar calls in from the Venice Film Festival and Dallas independent filmmaker Jason Reimer takes his spot in the studio. We consider the continued fallout from that promotional video for Alpha Phi at the University of Alabama. (You know, the one with the blond sorority sisters laughing, blowing glitter from their hands and prancing in bikinis.) Turns out, it was shot by a 20-year-old Coppell High School grad who is now dealing with the aftermath of viral fame. Next, “Wanna see some shapes?” Shapes is the title of the zine by Dallas artist Randy Guthmiller, who has built a mini zine publishing empire for local artists. Guthmiller talks about what it all means in advance of the inaugural Dallas Zine Party. Finally, we point our microphones back at guest-host Jason Reimer for a lightening round of topics. He’ll tell us about the book he just optioned for a TV series about the Chitlin' Circuit, we’ll discuss reports that his crew may (or may not) be negotiating to take over the historic Lakewood Theater, and we’ll get an update on Dallas actor Harry Goaz’s return to David Lynch’s strange world of Twin Peaks, courtesy of Showtime. Plus: Our weekly recommendations.
