Episode 19 - Citizen Kane

"Citizen Kane", the debut feature from the legendary Orson Welles, is considered by many to be the finest motion picture ever made, and its pioneering use of deep focus camera shots and really sweet kickflips and ollies has entranced fans of both the cinema and skateboarding since its initial release in 1941. Kevin and Mike go deep and discuss the film's impact on both the world of cinema and the world of skateboarding. There have been many famous cinematic images of skateboards, but none as iconic as Charles Foster Kane's beloved Rosebud.
