Oh Welles: Episode 2 - The Magnificent Ambersons
Mike (@mumbles3k) and Max (@JMaxHegel) are watching all of Orson Welles’ directorial efforts leading up to The Other Side of the Wind, the director’s new film set to be released over 30 years after his death. On this episode they discuss Welles’ follow-up to Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons. Already, on his sophomore film, Welles dealt with studio interference and a seemingly forever-lost alternate cut. How does the film hold up now, as is it as bad as Welles thinks it is?

We’re sorry this isn’t six hours long. It’s only five hours and 48 minutes long.
