Description

Yep.  More Fanacek and more Mr. Devane.  We're gonna pick up where we left off in 1978 and take a good hard look at why he never became a bona fide feature film star.  I'll focus mostly on his Knots Landings years (83-93).  While we learn about William Devane's roles, I thought we'd also learn about Tobe Hooper being replaced by the director who once threatened Charles Manson, John "Bud" Carlos.  We can also learn about the real Johnny Fontane, the crappy production company that employed my friend, tricked folks at the videos stores, and ultimately created Sharknado, Danny Pintauro's connection with Ryan White, my grandmother and I obsessively watching A Current Affair, and the lengths I went to to see Shannen Doherty topless.  Happy Holidays!

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!
