Fanacek
Fanacek explores all things film and television. We start with a theme and plunge down the IMDB rabbit hole of acting credits, far out locations, crazy posters, interesting guest stars, and obscure and often absurd taglines. Forget about six degrees of Kevin Bacon. There’s six degrees of everything! Joined by a guest each week, we’ll learn, poke fun, try to teach, and ultimately honor the people who have graced our screens over the years. So, stay tuned for another exciting episode of...Fanacek!

What can I say about George Maharis that hasn't been said before? Well, a lot apparently. Actor, Playgirl model, and friend of Perfecto Telles...George was a multi talented fellow. We explore his career, The Sopranos, football movies, Shaft, Sex Bomb, and bloody Drew Barrymore shower scenes. Trust me, it will all make sense.

So...the story goes that Rick Dalton almost got the Steve McQueen part in The Great Escape. He never had a meeting, never had an audition, but...the rumor is that for a little while he was on a short list with the three Georges. Peppard, Maharis, and Chakiris. Let's explore these guys and see what makes them so damn special.
Part is is a deep dive on George Peppard...or at least it starts that way. We end up talking about Better Call Saul and menstruation, booze, Lena Dunham, Hulk Hogan, swingers, why I love "One Day At A Time, and cool movie posters. But trust me, it all ties in with our Season One theme "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
