About this episode
Zach welcomes back Film Historian and Podcaster Jack Hanley (‘Blindspotting: A Film Discovery Podcast’, ‘They Did It’, and ‘The Superlatives’) to tackle a grand cinematic titan as they take a grand epic look at Orson Welles’ 1941 classic, CITIZEN KANE!
Get ready for a MEGA SIZED discussion as the boys marvel at the Boy Genius and his arrival to Hollywood, look in awe at the films plot and the many allusions it draws to the current state of affairs, gaze upon the brilliant performances from Cotten to Commingore, get giddy over the many cinematic magic tricks used to create such a compelling spectacle, become somber over the films immediate and current day reception, and finally settle into the many ways the film has influenced the films we see today and how it’s legacy reveals many lessons in the current film appreciation sphere.
