short films, music videos, investigative-science segments, guest lectures, sketches, unfinished films, or other films that deserve to be seen but may not have been seen elsewhere.
Wholphin is a new 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.
Available immediately by subscription and distributed quarterly in the same places you'll find McSweeney's and The Believer, each issue of Wholphin will contain a variety of extraordinary short films, docs, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms, and other cinema hybrids that deserve to be seen on very expensive televisions.

A brilliant collection of absolutely fascinating material! Terrific menu screens! Wonderfully produced package, too! A friend loaned me #2 and #3, next week I'm subscribing! Have you considered any Australian material yet? Talk to you soon, and congratulations again on a fantastic DVD collection. Garfield Barnard.
This DVD quarterly in particular made me feel like or understand that genitals I mean like vagina or penis don't determine gender so much as states of mind; this is to say tinier rock bands -- indie rock bands -- with thoughts of snide mucus "snidesnot" -- inside of a conception OF GENITALS is not a scary or kid-inappropriate thing to tell you about on MySpace's Wholphin page -- it's totally OK -- and it's all thanks to WHOLPHIN -- italicized only because it's a periodical, postage-paid, quarterly and fine, thanks so much, gender is determined by outlook and sustainability, so THANKS!
