Today we kick off a week full of extended chats with different people doing things. First up, in a new edition of Spike Spends Saturday With…, VBS’s creative director Spike Jonze drops by the studio to catch up with Kanye West as he puts the finishing touches on his latest video. On the first of two new episodes of VBS Meets… starting today, VBS correspondent Derrick Beckles hangs out with Canadian director Guy Maddin as he prepares the premiere of his new silent opus. And on the second, we sit down for a little talk with 50 Cent. Yes, as in that rap-guy who got shot. We’ve also got a new edition of Practice Space  from Tel Aviv with Monkey Son of a Donkey.
