Manage episode 501373689 series 2816920
You heard that right. Strap in for an amusing yet to-the-point tribute to the ultimate name you don't want your film to be credited with: Alan Smithee.

All that and the amusing way in which this practice was ultimately discontinued by the Director's Guild!
Special Thanks to Not a Bomb Podcast for sharing some of this key trivia.
