About 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!

   RFK & Mineo & Manson (Part 2)

   Ok, now that we're all caught up on RFK, Mineo, and Manson 101, we can now focus our energy on some fun stuff you likely didn't know about Chuck Manson.  Like it or not, Manson wormed his way into pop culture immortality.  This episode shines a light on his involvement with Grandpa Al Lewis, Scientology, The People's Court, The Beach Boys, Mama Cass, Nine Inch Nails, Guns N' Roses, and more.  It's a hoot.

   RFK & Mineo & Manson (Part 1)

   Let's peer into the dusty basement of pop culture and find some gems that don't get discussed enough...and let's do it while connecting RFK and Sal Mineo and Charles Manson!  Trust me, these 3 fellas have more in common than you might think, and I'm learning that all pop culture roads go through Charles Manson.  We'll discuss murders, conspiracies, and questionable arrests.   John Lennon.  David Cassidy.  Enjoy!
