“Citizen Kane” Sparks a Hollywood Feud (feat. Jack Black & John Lithgow) - Drunk History

Orson Welles’s classic film “Citizen Kane” was inspired by the life of powerful media baron William Randolph Hearst - but Hearst himself wasn’t very happy about its release.

Jack Black is an amazing silent actor 😂 hilarious

[@arkoisagoodboy]

John Lithgow is a treasure. One moment he's doing lowbrow comedy, another he's in award-winning drama. And then he's on Comedy Central outclassing their awfulness

That Jack Black and white is so good.

[@MrGamerTH]

great to see the underdog youtuber Jablinski winning movie awards

[@mrcaptaincarlin]

i actually applauded when they did the first transition in the style of citizen kane

[@billslocum9819]

I love how lost Lithgow looks when he's waiting for the drunk narrator to give him his next line. This is well-done.

The guide on a tour of Hearst Castle actually said that Orson Wells and Citizen Kane were and still are taboo subjects on the property.

[@Winteramen]

first learned of Orson Welles from The Simpsons, therefore never seen his real picture. i googled him and jesus, Jack Black looks just like him

Anybody here after watching “Mank” on Netflix???

[@acrophobe]

Can we dwell on how amazing the production value is in this segment though? The faux period footage of Hearst is superbly done, Lithgow and Jack Black are perfectly cast (and I would argue could have been cast in these roles in Mank), the cinematography is crisp as the dickens and the dynamic theatrical lighting for some of the scene transitions is an excellent imitation of the technique used in Citizen Kane.

"Kane would have seen it, Kane would have seen the film"

[@MissBlueEyeliner]

Oh my god!

[@april_collins]

The lipsynch is on point! Good job guys

[@lilly_s99432]

"the movie that no one will let you see" sounds like world's first clickbait, except without clicking

[@lucypeterson2231]

This new David Fincher film looks amazing

[@4.0.4error2]

Yall should get jack black back. He is so expressive it's amazing

[@kashiichan]

Jack Black is amazing, but so is John Lithgow. The part at

[@jakeinator722]

That black and white is so good. We need more of that in today's movies.

[@futilewilly]

Is it just me or does Jack Black look like a thick Leonardo DiCaprio in the thumbnail?
