Wholphin Subscription
Beginning with No. 4

Edited by Brent Hoff

Wholphin is a new quarterly DVD magazine lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it. TThe fourth issue of Wholphin will feature Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard lying to one another; the FBI mistaking an artist for a bioterrorist; Scottish 9-year-olds singing “Satan Rocks” at their country fair; an episode of the Russian “Married... with Children” re-scripted; an Academy Award nominated short; nuns; retired chimpanzees; plaster casters; and films from France, Morocco, New Zealand and the U.K. This issue will also include a bonus disc featuring the final installment of Adam Curtis’s The Power of Nightmares. Part Three: “The Shadows in the Cave.”
