Summary

For this week's main review, I am joined by Nicole Ackman, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Ryan C. Showers. This week we're discussing the newest film from director David Fincher and one of the year's biggest Oscar contenders: "Mank." Starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Charles Dance, Arliss Howard & Lily Collins, the film depicts the inspiration for the greatest film of all time, "Citizen Kane." Shot in black and white, with a mono soundscape and immaculate period recreation, the film is a technical showcase but what do we think of the story, the characters and its themes?
