#284 Deaner Lives: Behind the Mulleted Mayhem of Deaner '89 with Director Sam McGlynn”
Manage episode 485882606 series 3003408
This week on The Reel Debaters Podcast, we’re cracking a two-four of cinematic nostalgia with director Sam McGlynn, the director behind Deaner '89 — the Canadian Screen Award-nominated film that brings FUBAR legend Deaner (Paul Spence) back for one more righteous ride.
Filmed right here in Manitoba, Deaner'89 is more than just a throwback — it’s a love letter to late '80s mullet culture, prairie punk rock, and shotgunning beers. Sam takes us deep behind the scenes to chat about:
The origins of Deaner '89 and how the film went from cult idea to award-nominated classic
Shooting in Manitoba
Working with a Canadian comedy icon — how Paul Spence is still givin’er
What does it mean to get nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for his first feature?
If you grew your first stache to a Tragically Hip song, or just love hearing how indie filmmakers keep the Canadian comedy spirit alive, this one’s for you.
So grab a cold one, toss on your denim tuxedo, and join us for a heavy dose of hoser hilarity and heartfelt hustle.
