You're not walking, man.

You're not walking, man. You're not walking, man. I'm gonna get you in the next one. I'm gonna go to Bobby's, so you may make a movie. Yeah, that's the hell's going on. Burn Hollywood burn, I smell the ride.

Go and know I'm first the guilty. Now that you're on, yeah, I'll check out a movie. But then take a black one, then move me. Hello everybody and welcome to another patron episode. Bonus episode, Patreon Call It What You Will. Grateful as a swan, am I? How was that?

Uh, delightful, like a pirouette.

I am graceful like a gazelle why don't why don't you tell our listeners what we're gonna be talking about this month it's a very interesting filmmaker wink it is and it's it is and it is something that was not exclusive to the 80s but obviously the 80s was a decade which this guy worked a fair. And the gentleman we're talking about is Alan Smithy, who is of course no gentleman at all. What is unique about Alan Smithy, Drew? Alan Smithy was a name that was created by the director's Guild of America because there was a dispute over a movie in which two filmmakers, both very good filmmakers, each wanted no credit on a movie. Neither one of them felt like it was their vision of the film, neither one of them felt like their name deserved to be on it.

And the both very good filmmakers. Each wanted no credit on a movie. Neither one of them felt like it was their vision of the film.

Neither one of them felt like their name deserved to be on it.

And the directors could have never encountered that before.

So they looked for a pseudonym, something they could put on it.

Originally it was Al Smith, but there was an Al Smith working.

And so Smithy is not a common, I'm not even sure it's a last name,
