Zach welcomes back podcaster, historian, & film lover Jack Hanley (Blindspotting: A Film Discovery Podcast) to the show where the two will journey to South America in search of the many truths captured  by Orson Welles & his camera in 1942 as they unpack his incompleted 1942 film IT’S ALL TRUE and the 1993 documentary/re-assembly of the found footage… named… IT’S ALL TRUE.

Settle in for a unique chat as the duo unpack the context surrounding Welles’ reasons for being in South America, learn more about the Brazillian government during the 40’s and how it’s filmic desires were subverted by Welles and his teams decision to capture inequalities over stylistic travelogue, trace the journey of the footage from historic dustbin to resurrection, and finally settle upon the ways this lost masterpiece works as both lost art and political statement by Orson.

PLUS: Was Orson the inspiration for Ian Fleming’s James Bond? No, but its fun to think he was.
