Citizen Kane / Kristen Lopez

Kristen Lopez confesses her dirty little secret
to the world. She was a film writer and pop culture commentator
that had not seen Citizen Kane. She joins
James to confess and correct her shame. In
this 90-minute conversation Kristen and James exorcise some
demons and confront Citizen Kane's place in film history, film
criticism and popular culture. Is it possible to truly appreciate
Citizen Kane without a proper cinematic education?
