Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan, Tom Salinsky and special guest Tish Potter Episode 60.5: Citizen Kane (1941) Released 13 May 2020 For this episode, we watched Citizen Kane, written by Herman J Mankiewicz and Orson Welles, directed by Welles and starring Welles, Joseph Cotton, Dorothy Comingore, Everett Sloane, Ray Collins, George Coulouris, Agnes Moorehead. It did not win Best Picture (the only Academy Award it won was for its screenplay) but how could we overlook it? We’re joined by friend of the pod Tish Potter who hasn’t seen it before. https://www.tishpotter.co.uk The War of the Worlds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/war-worlds https://slate.com/culture/2013/10/orson-welles-war-of-the-worlds-panic-myth-the-infamous-radio-broadcast-did-not-cause-a-nationwide-hysteria.html Pterosaurs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QyRksgacik Next time we will be discussing The Deer Hunter.
