Matt & His Dad Visit Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum

In the quiet town of Jupiter, Florida there once was a museum created by the legendary Burt Reynolds. It contained his personal memorabilia from his life in movies and welcomed visitors from around the world. But in 2012 this magical place was demolished to make way for a parking lot. Fortunately, my Dad and I were able to sneak a camera into the museum and document this amazing cultural oddity for future generations.

Rest in peace, Bandit.

FILM REVIEW: Here Come The Videofreex (4/22/2017)
