In this episode, the 'Buds focus on the touching short film, "The Last Repair Shop". Dori & Kristopher chat with one of the directors about the value of this business in L.A., the impact on the children and the stories of four of the employees.

"Once commonplace in the United States, today Los Angeles is by far the largest and one of the last American cities to provide free and freely repaired musical instruments to its public schoolchildren, a continuous service since 1959. From Academy Award®-nominated directing duo Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers, The Last Repair Shop grants an all access pass to the nondescript downtown warehouse where a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople keep over 80,000 student instruments in good repair."

In this Cinebuds Replay from July 2022, Kristopher Pollard was on the hunt for a new Cinebud co-host. This week, he sat down with Radio Milwaukee's Kyle Heller to talk about video game films.
