Twenty-Two Films About Springfield: Citizen Kane

Summary: In 1941, Orson Welles released Citizen Kane into cinemas. With its innovative use of deep focus and its extraordinary commitment to detail, it, of course, flopped hard. Years later, The Simpsons would reference it a bunch. Some other stuff happened in-between. This week, on our season finale of Pods in the Key of Springfield, movie buff James forces Nick to watch Citizen Kane to see if it matches up with the image of the film he's gotten from The Simpsons and the rest of our cultural milieu. Can James talk Nick around on his general hatred of movies by showing him the, uh, Citizen Kane of movies? This episode is guaranteed to have more discussion about Irish comedian Jimeon and 90s Australian pop duo Bachelor Girl than any other podcast out there about Citizen Kane. That's our promise to you.Also, we've decided that we've earned a bit of a break - new episodes with resume from November 6. FacebookTwitteremail: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com
