The Hurt Locker (2008)
Better Than Citizen Kane? - An Aud Brothers Podcast by The Aud Brothers
Episode notes
This week, Max and Parker tackle their first film of 21st century featured on the show by looking into a movie that received ample critical acclaim upon its release, as well as securing the very first Best Picture win for a female-directed film - 2008's The Hurt Locker. How will it stack up against a film more than 60 years its senior? 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 penultimate question - "Better Than Citizen Kane?"
