#7 F For Fake

Better Than Speed

If you’ll permit us a bit of verse, the Devil whispered behind the leaves: "It's pretty, but is it better than Speed?” Special guest Morgan Hanner-Morfesis throws down on tricksters, hoaxes and forgeries in the extravagant Orson Welles swan song F For Fake.

Wanna watch along before listening? You can find F For Fake streaming on FilmStruck, where they offer a 14-day free trial of their Criterion Collection and arthouse film library.

On our next episode we’re gonna tackle Jean Renoir’s seminal escape caper, Grand Illusion. One of the greatest films ever made? Or yet another tally on the growing list of films ranked worse than Speed? Rent it on Vudu, Google Play, or Amazon Video to find out.

Interested in winning that vintage vinyl copy of the War of the Worlds broadcast we discussed? Leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts, and you’re automatically entered to win. We’ll announce the lucky recipient on our Grand Illusion episode.

And finally we’d be remiss to not mention our mention of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. We did it for the clicks.
