- One of the most prolific and notorious directors in film history, Alan Smithee has directed dozens of movies and TV shows since the late 1960s. Almost all of them are unmitigated disasters, born of behind-the-scenes conflicts, studio interference, and the occasional industry-wide scandal. But who the hell is Alan Smithee? Sean Fennessey narrates this episode of 'Ringer PhD,' written by Alan Siegel.

Maybe the real Allan Smithee was the friends we made along the way
I love that :)
Imagine if Alan Smithee directed American History X… Talk about a career high for the fella
Lol 😆
This is why I use my suffix with my films. Still, ‘Allen Smithee, Jr.’ draws a lot of attention! 😂
I've seen Alan Smithee get credited for some music videos, such as Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". That song is still one of the Top 10 Highest-Selling Singles of All Time, and I wonder why the director didn't want credit for that video.
Because a Jewish man directed it
hold up, did sean just use a rotten tomatoes score as his data point?
Allen Smithee going be my fantasy football name.
Well done Fennessey. I became aware of this name after looking up _Morgan Stewart's Coming Home_ when imdb had forums

But he lives on in a way, (Alan Smithee does youtube
The director's guild retired the name when a terrible comedy film about the practice was made.
@@supernintendo182 yeah but at the same time, John K was still able to use Raymond Spunk (or something like that), so I feel like you still could if you really wanted to
Then Alan Smithee was resurrected in 2015 for the trashy horror movie, Old 37 starring Brandi Cyrus, older sister of the legendary Miley Cyrus!!! The director brought Smithee back from the dead and it’s the last movie so far that has the name!!!
Came here from Ace Combat 7
