Mank

Adam and Brent take a trip back to season 6 and talk David Fincher's great new movie 'Mank'!

Show Notes

Adam and Brent revisit David Fincher and talk his new movie 'Mank'! They get into the origins of the screenplay written by Fincher's dad, the history of Citizen Kane and fraught process of writing the movie, as well as the dense themes in Mank! It's one of Brent's favorite movies from 2020 and he gets into a few reasons why that is (aside from the obvious 'he loves every movie about Hollywood' thing). They also get into why Fincher had a 6 year gap in between movies! It's another quick bonus ep in between Lean/Kurosawa episodes but we'll be back with them soon so enjoy the episode!

What is Director Showdown?

Director Showdown is an idea that came about after months of intense arguments between Brent Carroll and Adam Daufen about which famous director was better: Spielberg or Kubrick? From those arguments, season one was created. Each new season pits two new directors against each other, and every other week Adam and Brent get together to make their case - sometimes with help from guests.
