Wholphin is the quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney's, 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.
Each issue of Wholphin contains a variety of extraordinary short films, animated and live-action, comedies, dramas and documentaries, re-scripted foreign sitcoms, scientific discoveries, instructional videos, and other cinema hybrids that deserve to be seen on very expensive televisions. Plus, a 40-page magazine with detailed interviews with the filmmakers.
