‘Mank’ You Very Much with ‘The Thrilling Adventure Hour’ Co-Creator Ben Acker

‘Mank’ You Very Much with ‘The Thrilling Adventure Hour’ Co-Creator Ben Acker

By MaximumFun.org, Casey O'Brien

This week we discuss the movie that has the audacity to claim that Gary Oldman is 43 years old – Mank. And joining us to discuss it is one of the co-creators of ‘The Thrilling Adventure Hour,’ Ben Acker. Alonso takes the reins as host this week. And as a result we get some insight into his relationship with Citizen Kane, what Herman Mankiewicz’s grandson, Ben, has to say about the movie, and the famous Pauline Kael essay that started it all. Plus, we have another edition of ‘The Christmas Zaddy Christmas Movie Minute.’ And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

In news, Warner Brothers will debut its 2021 movie slate on HBO Max, Letitia Wright promotes a dangerous video, and many more Kingsman movies are promised. .
