Part 2 broadcast this morning. Likewise available for 1 week only, online (same address as above). Bogdanovich discusses his own work in the context of Hollywood and television post-1961. Comments on 'The Last Picture Show' and 'What's Up Doc'. Plus some discussion on film directors moving into TV, and extended discussion of 'The Sopranos'. Nothing Welles-related, apart from a brief mention of 'Kane', but well worth a listen.
