Citizen Kane (1941)

This week Max and Parker start off the new year with a look back at the film that started it all - Orson Welles' titan of cinema and the eponymous film of this show, 1941's Citizen Kane. After a full year of comparing other films to the gold standard of Kane, it felt right to revisit it and give it another look with all that time in the rearview. Let's see how it holds up! Often considered to be the "greatest film of all time", 1941's Citizen Kane is a benchmark of the cinematic art form. However, hosts Max Bennion and Parker Rawlins have chosen to put that claim to the test. By examining films both past and present, the pair hold each up and ask the penultimate question - "Better Than Citizen Kane?"
