Description

This guy personifies Cliff Booth.  He had the look, the stunt street cred, and a famous buddy, Burt Reynolds.  He's Hal Needham and boy did he like Smokey and the Bandit.  We dive into his career and along the way we explore my life as a video store clerk, Traci Lords, Tugboat Thomas, Singin' in the Rain, the forgotten sequels to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the 80's classic "Rad".  We also ponder the legitimacy of Talia Shire's career and why she tried to get Blossom to strip down.  And for your weirdos, I also do a deep dive on the I Spit On Your Grave franchise.  All that and more on...Fanacek!

Fanacek explores all things film and television. We start with a theme and plunge down the IMDB rabbit hole of acting credits, far out locations, crazy posters, interesting guest stars, and obscure and often absurd taglines. Forget about six degrees of Kevin Bacon. There’s six degrees of everything! Joined by a guest each week, we’ll learn, poke fun, try to teach, and ultimately honor the people who have graced our screens over the years. So, stay tuned for another exciting episode of...Fanacek!
