  • Summary

  • Early in his career, Orson Welles was a master of storytelling, after the wild successes of Citizen Kane and War of the Worlds, Welles fell out of favor with Hollywood. After a handful of actor-for-hire jobs and independently released flops, Welles scrambled to hit it big with another hit film. And sometime during the meandering production of The Other Side of the Wind, Welles completed his pseudo-documentary about hoaxes, F for Fake. Dan and Jon celebrate the film's weirdness while celebrating Welles' freak flag which he proudly flew and give their 2 cents about how the film could be brought back for a modern audience.
