Our continuing journey into the world of Orson Welles's Citizen Kane finds Antony beginning a scene-by-scene analysis, starting with the film's Gothic horror opening,possibly the best-known final word of a character in any film, and then the sudden and jarring segue into the newsreel obituary of the world-famous Charles Foster Kane. We try to make sense of the sometimes absurdly non-linear structure of the film while admiring the remarkable artistry contained in every scene. The young Kane isbrash, charismatic and successful in his professional and personal life, but his downfall will soon begin… Part 4 will be out next month We hope you enjoy the show! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.  Feedback tocontrafib2001@gmail.com  Facebook⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmgoldpod⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠https://twitter.com/FilmGold75⁠⁠ Antony's website (blog, music, podcasts) ⁠⁠https://www.antonyrotunno.com⁠⁠Antony's John Lennon/Beatles and Psychology/Alt.Media podcasts ⁠⁠https://glassoniononjohnlennon.comhttps://lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com/ Support Antony's podcast work (Film Gold, Glass Onion:On John Lennon and Life And Life Only) at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OR⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ episode linksCitizen Kane film pages⁠https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1⁠⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane⁠ Original trailer for the film⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dxh3lwdOFw⁠ The life of Charles Foster Kanehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Foster_Kane The Citizen Kane files (Wellesnet archive)⁠https://www.wellesnet.com/citizen-kane-resources/⁠ The electric opening to the filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSjHBVx-xk News On The March!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ6QnaEQ7sY The projection roomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZjkzM8N_oQ The full first half of the filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ol6mKC3aY The Union Forever- The White Stripes vs Citizen Kanehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X6PoXzpyz0 Renee Zellweger as Judy Garlandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_dizVjNTbg

Only a ninja can destroy a ninja, and only Justus and David can determine if Ninja III is the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Ninja III: The Domination (1984) is directed by Sam Firstenberg and stars Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, David Chung, and Dale Ishimoto.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

In return you'll get a whole extra Take 2 alongside Take 1 every week, with bonus reviews, more viewing recommendations from the Good Doctors and whole bonus episodes just for you. And if you're already a Vanguardista, we salute you. The 50th anniversary re-release of ‘Slade in Flame' is making Mark very happy this week, and he'll be reviewing this “Citizen Kane of rock movies” at the top of the show to celebrate. Starring the real-life Black Country glam rockers as the fictional band Flame, it follows their rapid rise and fall via record company clashes that reveal the darker side of the music industry. Plus, new (and new-ish) releases ‘Thunderbolts*', the Marvel anti-hero ensemble starring Florence Pugh, and ‘Sinners'—Ryan Coogler's 1930s southern gothic tale of two twin brothers coming face to face with evil when they return to their Mississippi hometown in search of a new start. It came out while we were on our holibobs, so we're catching up this week with a full review and some top takes from those of you who have seen it already. ‘Another Simple Favor' is out this week too—and we've got director Paul Feig, also known for ‘Bridesmaids', ‘Spy' and, yes, the all-female Ghostbusters remake—on the show to talk Simon through it. A follow-up to the 2018 hit ‘A Simple Favor', it sees Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their roles in a genre-mashing comedy-mystery-crime-thriller, this time on the isle of Capri. Feig talks power dressing, breaking his no-sequels rule, and how that Blue Origin all-female space flight could definitely be straight out of one of his movies. Mark reviews it too—and we also hear plenty from you wonderful wittertainees, including your takes on Mark's ‘Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' review. Enjoy!

Shopify Product Director Alex Danco returns for his NINTH appearance on the show — and he comes in hot. As you'll hear, I didn't even get a chance to introduce him before he launched into his take on what everyone gets wrong about Citizen Kane. We also unpack the performance art of parenting, why dinner parties are the new status signals, the difference between meme and slop culture and MUCH more. Unsurprisingly, this was a fun one.

We're celebrating our 1st anniversary with the turbo-charged, melodrama-soaked, gravity-defying classic that redefined what a Great Bad Movie truly is. Fast Five is the Citizen Kane of car-based heist movies. We saved this one for a special occasion, because Fast Five isn't just any movie — it's a beautifully chaotic mix of telenovela-level emotional showdowns, dialogue that sounds philosophical but means almost nothing, and incredible action sequences with things you've never seen before. Is it absurd? Absolutely. Is it brilliant? Unquestionably. Is it a little bad? Ummmmmm, all we can say is we love every second of it.Come celebrate with us as we toast to one year of great cinematic achievements, and honor the film that somehow made dragging a vault through Rio with two Dodge Chargers look cooler than it has any right to.Check out this episode's page on our websiteSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

After many years of putting films on trial, Citizen Kane is finally in the dock this week. Should it go on our shit list, next to Spiderman 3 or Home Sweet Home Alone? Or on our hit list, alongside such cinematic titans as Crossroads, Air Force One and Hocus Pocus? Alex defends and Dave prosecutes, with Gav having to decide whether this film deserves its place as one of the greatest films of all time, or if technical skill and movie mythology have blinded us to a boring and flawed film. All this with an impression of Orson Welles and a quiz about news in film. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/267

Based in Los Angeles, California, F. Ron Miller has designed numerous movie posters and title sequences, as well as an impressive number of covers for The Criterion Collection, who releases important classic and contemporary films. Ron's always been a big fan of The Bad and the Beautiful, starring Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, and Elaine Stewart. It tells the story of a ruthless producer played by Kirk Douglas, who works tirelessly to reach the top of the Hollywood system with no care for how others get left in the dust. We also talk about movies that are about making movies, David Lynch, Citizen Kane, as well as imposter syndrome, how designers work, design magazines, design culture, and design history.-F. Ron Miller received his bachelor's degree from California Institute of the Arts, where he was a student of Lou Danziger, and his master's degree from London's Royal College of Art. His work has appeared in Communication Arts, The Paris Review, and The Design Observer.

Borges called CITIZEN KANE a "labyrinth with no center" but it was the center of the labyrinth that was Orson Welles, and our final destination in the second half of this tour of the magician's career, after we pass through TOUCH OF EVIL (1958), THE TRIAL (1962), THE IMMORTAL STORY (1968), F FOR FAKE (1975), and THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND (2018)... and realize that in his flaws, if not his greatness, Orson Welles was a lot like us.   With Darius Csiky of 8pl8s podcast   For the full 2 hour episode, and twice as many overall, subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian -- you'll also get regular "smoke break" reports on topics of the day and exclusive access to our coveted live events.    Follow us on X/insta @filthyarmenian

Hailed as the Citizen Kane of bad movies, The Room (Tommy Wiseau, 2003) has transcended its origins as an enigmatic vanity project to become a bona fide cult phenomenon. But how did it achieve such status, and what, beneath its layers of unintentional surrealism, is it really about? Hosts Laura Gommans and Tom Ooms unravel the film's bizarre legacy, offering an essential guide to its chaotic production, the rituals of its legendary interactive screenings, and its place in the pantheon of so-bad-it's-good cinema.Get tickets to The Room @ LAB111Get tickets to CC Film Club: Old Boy @ LAB111Get tickets to Straight to Video @ LAB111Get tickets to Go Short Film Festival

Zoomer Orson Welles protege joins me for a Citizen Kane-like adventure through the entire career of the man who believed in magic perhaps too much -- or, perhaps, too little. We look at almost every film he made, we lean in for his radio, we applaud his theater, we gasp at his tricks and read his biography ("Rosebud" by David Thomson). Maybe we can find out what this giant boy was missing... With Darius Csiky host of 8pl8s podcast Part 1 of 2.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3's star final girl, Lauren LaVera, has a new fright flick, The Fetus, coming out on March 7th that'll combine comedy and body horror! And it'll also feature horror icon Bill Moseley, know for his roles as the brutal killer Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects and the demented Choptop in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, in a deliciously macabre role as a blind veteran with psychotic side. As you can probably surmise from the title, the movie will tackle pregnancy horror and creature feature thrills vis-à-vis a demonic baby. If you're a fan of 80s horrors like John Carpenter's The Thing or Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be glad to know that the movie relies heavily on practical creature effects. It also promises to be a timely fright flick in light of the debates the rage on in American culture over abortion. Joining us to discuss the movie is the film's director, Joe Lam. We'll talk about the experience of working with Lauren LaVera and Bill Moseley, the long process of writing the movie, the influence of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane on Joe, the film's use of practical effects and the award-winning work of Alex Rojas on the creature effects, the decision to release The Fetus unrated and increasing obsolescence of the MPAA ratings system in the age of streaming, thoughts on Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he made a call for defending independent film and movie theaters in an age where both are under threat, balancing comedy/humor and horror, the importance of story and character development in Joe Lam's approach to horror, and much, much more!

Description Returning guest John Darowski joins Joe to discuss one of the most iconic films ever made, Citizen Kane. We discuss Orson Welles’ career, the quality of the film itself, and the impact its had on the movie industry. Support … Continue reading →

There are 35 chambers at Shaolin Temple. This is a well-established fact. So what could the 36th chamber be? What a mystery! Well, if you watch the movie, it's really not a mystery, or even about that chamber, or any of the chambers, or any of the events of the plot. It's really about watching dubbed-over kung fu men doing bizarre kung fu stuff until the movie stops. Let's see Citizen Kane do that!

We're tearing it apart, Lisa! Our second Birthday Girl's choice is the 21st century's answer to Citizen Kane, “The Room”! Tommy Wiseau's Johnny may be a beloved local figure and frequent favorite customer who is also up for a promotion at the bank, but his fiancé Lisa finds him boring and prefers his bearded best friend Mark. She's also not concerned at all about her mother Claudette's breast cancer diagnosis, and is totally fine with Mike and Michelle using their apartment to hookup. Denny might even stop by to borrow the ingredients for a small pound cake, when he's not dealing drugs for Best Supporting Chris-R.

It's February, the month of love, and we're celebrating it in style, first by talking about one of our most beloved (and oft-referenced) movies, Orson Welles' 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane, and then by having Sean count down the Top 10 Weirdest Anime ‘Ships he could think of, complete with original fan-fic excerpts for each and every one. We also pay tribute to David Lynch, a filmmaker both Sean and Jonathan loved dearly, after his passing at the age of 78 in January; talk about Nintendo's first unveiling of the Switch 2 console; the rapidly approaching death of the Xbox brand with news of more key franchises going multiplatform; and give first impressions of Dynasty Warriors Origins on the PS5, which is absolutely incredible. Enjoy!  Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:04:25News: 0:04:25 – 0:51:58Show n' Tell: 0:51:58 – 1:34:39Topic (Citizen Kane): 1:34:39 – 2:52:47The Monthly Ten: 2:52:47 – 3:25:18Outro: 3:25:18 – 3:26:05  Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://japanimationstation.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels!

Today, we look at watershed movies: movies that changed the culture. That became juggernauts. Where cinema was clearly changed/different AFTER the movies. These movies aren't always enjoyable still to watch. OR. . .they were so big, it's hard to enjoy them as movies. They have become markers on the road of cinema. Yet some still offer up endless joys. While others have not aged well at all. We look at everything from 1915's Birth of a Nation to Citizen Kane, Rashomon, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Barbie,and many in between. Founder.programmer Craig Hammill riffs across these movies trying to figure out what it means to be a watershed movie. And if such movies can ever be made again in today's fractured, niche, scattered entertainment landscape. 

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the greatest achievements from one of cinema's true geniuses. Brandon welcomes Robert Bellissimo to celebrate Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. Robert is the host of his own video podcast called "Robert Bellissimo At the Movies". Brandon and Robert discuss how the film how this truncated masterpiece remains one of Welles' greatest films. This follow-up to Citizen Kane features stellar performances from Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt, Anne Baxter and especially Agnes Moorehead. 

This episode kicks off with Trump's historic press conference, where he suggests the Gulf of Mexico will soon become the Gulf of America, threatens the Middle East to get hostages back, touches on acquiring Greenland and Canada, and more. Producer Andrew steps in for Charlie while he visits Greenland alongside Donald Trump Jr. Citizen Kane stops by and Raheem Kassam talks about the dramatic rollback of Facebook’s censorship apparatus.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 78: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: How did this not generate more headlines? It's just a proposed maneuver out of the legal morass Judge Juan Merchan has helped Trump create. But New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg has suggested that one way to solve this sentencing/but he's president/but we can't dismiss the conviction is to treat Trump - in a legal sense - the way you treat a convicted defendant who DIES before he appeals or is sentence. In short: just pretend Trump is dead. SPEAKING OF A BROKEN LEGAL SYSTEM: I'm not advocating for that, nor for guys assassinating CEO's five blocks from my home. But our legal system is broken and it would behoove commentators, columnists, writers, those who suck up to the moneyed class, and conservatives to stop being so surprised at the idea that maybe a majority of Americans is not as outraged as the wealthy are at the actions of Luigi McDreamy. Maybe you need to wonder more about why they perceive the legal system to be broken and the corporations to be legal excuses for nobody being responsible for innocent people dying and being injured. CHRIS WRAY OBEYS IN ADVANCE: He'll quit as FBI director before the inauguration. Maybe he can make a comeback as Trump's second pick for DNI because Tulsi Gabbard is being attacked from the left, the middle, and now from The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. Also Hegseth's been caught in another lie, about something he had said in public 48 hours earlier. B-Block (23:46) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The World Cup goes to Saudi Arabia because everything is for sale. And an announcement of a candidacy for New York City Council suddenly made me realize that Bill DeBlasio and Eric Adams both became mayor here in part because between us one of my exes and I screwed around with the 2013 campaign. OOPS. (30:22) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Yes she sneaked a gold-plated gun into Australia but how else was she supposed to protect herself at clown school? Speaking of: Newsweek beats the L.A. Times to a "Fairness Meter" for its articles. And Elon Musk insists there's no homelessness because now is exactly the right time for a CEO to assert that. C-Block (39:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My favorite Holiday story. The day, on my way to interview Mickey Mantle, I ran into somebody I mistook for just another fan - albeit a well-dressed man. Oops. Turned out he was one of the stars of the greatest movie ever made.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While America is rapidly on its way to being great again, in Canada the country is as left-wing — and increasingly authoritarian — as ever. Ezra Levant of Rebel News joins to talk about being arrested for trying to report on a pro-Hamas demonstration. Charlie asks whether it's time for America to use its economic muscle to protect freedom of speech in Canada and Britain. Then, Citizen Kane joins to discuss the early triumphs of the Trump transition period.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After two days of hysterical meltdowns, many liberals are coming to a realization conservatives told them years ago: They're too left-wing to win. Charlie, Andrew, Blake, Pastor Sam Rodriguez, Citizen Kane, Josh Hammer, and Matt Towery check the Democratic post-mortems, analyze shifts in the electorate, and wonder if Democrats have it in them to salvage their own party.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
