Legendary Maverick: Orson Welles

For our final episode, the boys take turns telling each other of the different eras of the life of the artist in his many mediums. Through the War of the Worlds, his brief childhood, Citizen Kane, his marriages and loves, political advocacy, exile, struggles to continue to create and neuroses, we find a funny, sensitive, adventurous and immeasurably talented fellow. We bid you adieu with this lengthy episode and encourage you to follow us on our Patreon for more content in the future. We have loved this time spent together.
