Episode 64, ‘Furious Kane’, on Citizen Kane vs. Furious 7
This week, Dave and Steve invite special guest Dominik Buconjic to join them for a discussion about the alpha and the omega of cinema, Citizen Kane and Furious 7. You would think that these two films cannot be compared. You might be right, but your hosts do their darnedest to make it work. Do they succeed? You be the judge.
- Intro Clip: Furious 7.
- There can never be enough apologies for the intro to this episode.
- Special guest Dom (as opposed to Vin Diesel Dom) has to put up with a lot of nonsense from Dave and Steve this week.
