Reddit AMA Recap: Brendon Small
Recently, Brendon Small took part in a Reddit AMA session, and in it, he got bombarded with a TON of questions.
And yes, while we did get some notes about Metalocalypse like how the show was derived from Brendon’s hatred of reality TV, his favorite episode being Doomstar, and that we will never see the conclusion of the Dethklok story, the best answers were about Brendon’s earlier collaboration with Loren Bouchard, Home Movies.
For those that don’t know, Home Movies featured a kid named Brendon Small who loves to make movies with his family’s video camera. At the same time, he must put up with the adults in his life: his unintelligent soccer coach, and his divorced mother, Paula. Along with a group of friends, he acts out his fantasies in front of the camera.
How much of Home Movies was HIS upbringing (by the way, don’t expect Walter & Perry in Bob’s Burgers)
