Xanadu's Landlord

About this episode

The episode explores how revisiting the film 'Citizen Kane' at different life stages alters one's perspective and evokes memories.

When you watch the same movie at various stages of your life, you see the story from very different perspectives. I recently watched “Citizen Kane” again for the first time since I was seventeen. It brought back a lot of memories. It also brought up some questions that would never have entered my mind when I was a teenager.
