Better Than Citizen Kane? - An Aud Brothers Podcast

by The Aud Brothers
Season 3
Van Helsing (2004)
This week, Max and Parker welcome back another guest - the Aud Brother himself, Wil Cowser! This time, rather than bringing a film he loves to go head-to-head with the likes of Charles Foster Kane, Wil has been subjected to Parker's sadistic annual watch of Stephen Sommers' horrifically horny, monster-mash action-adventure; 2004's Van Helsing. Will Gabriel and Anna drive a stake through Kane's claim to the top? Or will Charlie reduce their chances to ash in a blaze of light? Let's find out! Often considered to be the "greatest film of all time", 1941's Citizen Kane is a benchmark of the cinematic art form. However, hosts Max Bennion and Parker Rawlins have chosen to put that claim to the test. By examining films both past and present, the pair hold each up and ask the ultimate question - "Better Than Citizen Kane?"
