This week we look at Scott Scurlock AKA the 'Hollywood Bandit', a bank robber named after his use of elaborate disguises. Prosthetics, fake chins, moustaches, hats, wigs and glasses... he eluded authorities for years. Recorded live at The Ritz Cinema in Sydney.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 04:23 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
