...and a Happy New Year! Late to the Movies kicks off 2023 with a new theme for the new month - we'll be picking a few films from the Top 10 of the latest decennial Sight and Sound Critics' Poll!

Up first is the longest reigning #1 in the poll's history, down to #3 this time: 1941's "Citizen Kane"! Ben, Anthony, and Kay are on hand to discuss the life and times of Charles Foster Kane, Orson Welles, and the (unfortunately) evergreen relevance of this revolutionary movie. MANK FEVER IS BACK!

Directed by and starring Orson Welles, who co-wrote the screenplay with Herman J. Mankiewicz. Featuring Joseph Cotten and Dorothy Comingore.
