What do you do when you've directed a movie... but you don't want your name on it?
This week, Michael explores one of Hollywood's strangest traditions: Alan Smithee, the fictional film director created by the Directors Guild of America for filmmakers who had lost creative control of their projects. Along the way, you'll hear how one Western accidentally created a decades-long Hollywood secret, why critics unknowingly praised a man who didn't exist, and how a movie about Alan Smithee ultimately brought the entire system to an end. Then we chat with Emmy-Winning Writer and Educator, Joe Janes!
