135: Make/Remake Citizen Kane and Mank

Normally Make/Remake examines how two films that share the same story. Not to say what film was better or worse, but how they are similar and different while following the same arcs. But this time we are looking at the 1941 classic Citizen Kane directed by Orson Welles, and the recent David Fincher release Mank, that looks at the writing of the movie. Joining the show is Sam Blakeley and Hugh Dempsey, hosts of Please Watch This.

No Film School chronicles the controversy of Pauline Kael's original Raising Kane essay and tries to find the truth about who wrote Citizen Kane.
