This week, David guides Justus through the wild and wonderful world of Wakaliwood, a Ugandan film studio based in the slums of the country’s capital, Kampala. They’re discussing the studio’s breakout international hit, Who Killed Captain Alex?. Filmed for a shockingly low budget of less than $200, this wholly unique action comedy has amassed an internet following and brought the Wakaliwood team onto the world stage. What the heck is a “video joker?” Is this the best usage of Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” in film history? Does everybody in Uganda know kung fu? It’s time to “expect the unexpectable” on this episode of the Greatest Movie Ever Made!
Who Killed Captain Alex? (2010) is directed by Nabwana I.G.G. and stars Kakule William, Sserunya Ernest, G. Puffs, Bukenya Charles, and VJ Emmie.
