Winnebago Man
Former pitchman Jack Rebney is a cult figure well known for his explicit tirades and seeming meltdown on a shoot for a Winnebago infomercial. Footage of him reaching his breaking point has been circulated for decades. In the Internet age of streaming video he is more viewed than ever. Who is Jack Rebney? What's the story behind that fateful infomercial shoot? Does he realize that he is "famous"? Does he care? This resulting documentary is solid, though unspectacular. We learn more of Rebney's back story and get to know him in older age. He's mellowed. Or has he?
