Classic Movies Live, Episode 15: Citizen Kane
December 30, 2020
Here on Classic Movies Live, we consider ourselves serious movie critics. However, any serious movie critic must eventually review Citizen Kane, and this week, our hosts have decided to do this.
Based, in part, on the life and times of William Randolph Hearst, Citizen Kane shows the life of Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper magnate whose influence over the politics and culture of the United States cannot be understated.
Many critics consider Citizen Kane to be the greatest movie ever made, but do our hosts agree? How does such an influential film compare to the things it influenced?
On that note, how the heck is Mank, David Fincher’s recent movie about the making of Citizen Kane? All these answers and more can be found on this week’s episode of Classic Movies Live!
