Finn & Uther watch two very different Orson Welles films: Touch of Evil (1958) is one of Welle’s finest moments as an actor and director, a stylish and captivating noir, and, Casino Royale (1967) is the nadir of British, Swinging Sixties madcap comedies, a movie with 10 writers and five directors, and no well written or directed scenes.

We talk a whole lot about Orson Welles, whether or not Touch of Evil is racist, and why he’s never in the same shot as his co-stars in Casino Royale. Uther attempts to kill all of the world's crocodiles, and Finn spirals into madness.
