This American Life "Reruns"

If you listen to "This American Life" on public radio (I don't know if it is technically NPR or PRI, and I don't know if those are really two separate things or two sides of the same coin), you may have heard the show on Sunday about reruns.

It started off with a segment by a woman who loves to watch reruns on TV, and then she tells the story of "The Beaver Trilogy," which is a sort of cinema experience in which a TV news cameraman records this weird kid outside his station. He then goes on to "remake" the exchange with the kid using unknown actors like Sean Penn and Crispin Glover.

At the time it was made they were unknown, anyway.

So I heard all about this movie and now I want to see it, but at the end, Ira Glass, the narrator of the radio show, says that you can't get "The Beaver Trilogy" anywhere. Not on VHS, DVD -- nothing. It isn't available.

I guess it was shown at Sundance and that was it.

For the past few days, all I've been wanting to do is watch "The Beaver Trilogy," but I can't.
