The world may be at war but the movies bravely carry on! This week we're joined by film programmer Ambriehl Turrentine to discuss the Citizen Kane of the cartoon canon, Alfred Hitchcock's favorite of his own films, and a groundbreaking musical comedy! Plus, we get into some WW2 propaganda cartoons, avant-garde mirror faces, extreme Britishness, Judo throws, and the original Dark Universe!
