info_outlineAfter a series of postponements, our episode on The Other Side of the Wind has at long last arrived. Of course, our delays are nothing compared to the 30-plus year wait for this brand spankin' new Orson Welles movie. Today's guest, Joseph McBride, is not only one of the great Welles historians in academia, he also makes an appearance in the film. We're fortunate to have Joe on hand to both contextualize what's onscreen, as well as regale us with tales of being onset with one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.

They discuss how the editors and sound designers went about executing this challenge and speculate about whether or not Welles would be pleased with this final cut.
