ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (426)
Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 The Blow Out, directed by Tex Avery.
Author Thomas Pynchon refers to the cartoon involving "Porky Pig and the anarchist" several times in his novels The Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity's Rainbow.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to watch CGP Grey video, (we haven't posted one of his in awhile.)
Not really sure if the penny is finally kaput but he makes an interesting argument.
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 docudrama F for Fake ( AKA Vérités et Mensonges), directed by Orson Welles, and starring Orson Welles, François Reichenbach, Oja Kodar, and Gary Graver. F for Fake is the last major film completed by Orson Welles, who directed, co-wrote, and starred in the film. The movie focuses on Elmyr de Hory's recounting of his career as a professional art forger. De Hory's story serves as the backdrop for a fast-paced, meandering investigation into the nature of authorship and authenticity, as well as the basis for the value of art. Loosely structured as a documentary, the film operates in several different genres and has been described as a kind of film essay. Welles also filmed a trailer that lasted nine minutes and featured several shots of a topless Oja Kodar. The trailer was rejected by the US distributors. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching F for Fake.
An excerpt of Orson Welles' legendary 1938 War of the Worlds' broadcast was re-created for this film; however, none of the dialogue heard in the movie actually matches what was heard on the original radio broadcast.
