There is a man. A certain man. A man whose grace and handsome face are known across the land. You know his name. It\\u2019s Orson Welles! This week we\\u2019re talking about Citizen Kane, AKA the greatest movie ever made (before Paddington 2). It\\u2019s a quintessentially American story of a hollow billionaire running a media empire. Sort of like Succession but with Dutch angles. Tara and Jacob discuss Welles\\u2019 incredible debut feature, noted big twat William Randolph Hearst and the perils of the auteur theory. Plus, you know we\\u2019ve got to shout out our boy Mank.
