We kick off 2024 with a super-sized episode, featuring what many have called The Greatest Film of All Time - Orson Welles' 1941 directorial debut, Citizen Kane. How's that for some Film Canon!
Joining us to dive into all things C.F.K., is a great friend, actor, intimacy coordinator, and major cineaste Richard McIver. Nathaniel, Phoebe, and Richard talk through the film's accomplishments and complexities, its legacy, whether it suffers from 'Beatles Syndrome' and more. It's one of the most-discussed pieces of work ever, but there's something for both seasoned film-heads and those brand-new to Welles! So listen in!
Wishing everyone a happy new year - well, everyone who subscribes to Initial Thoughts, that is! Enjoy.
