Episode 500: Citizen Kane (1941)

Jan 30, 2026

The life of a media mogul is analyzed in an attempt to learn the meaning of his last word: Rosebud.

It’s our 500th episode, and we’re talking about the Streisand effect, a feature that’s not in the Chase app, and a painful COVID flashback. Then we see if Citizen Kane stands the Test of Time.

(Heads up: we start with some celebrating before diving into Citizen Kane at 27:23.)
