Citizen Kane

Films on Trial

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.
