WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS flips into a reality TV show (with Matt Bruneau-Richardson)
Description
What We Do in the Shadows: "Go Flip Yourself"
Bad news?! Matt Bruneau-Richardson (from Tiny Siren Animation) joins to discuss the reality TV spin of of the mockumentary style show What We Do in the Shadows. We celebrate this series' queerness, alongside its horror and comedy while also talking about the history of home renovation programs, what they've become, and how watching them might be really bad for our brains.
Check out Matt's upcoming feature, Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid on Kickstarter.
