Only The Best For Hayden Maxwell

This is the final episode of the podcast. We go long explaining why it's time to put this thing to rest and debate the title of the greatest movie of all time: Is it Citizen Kane or Vertigo? There has to be an answer and it has to be one of those two movies. This is it. And it's not going to be here forever so you should listen now.

The boys of my favorite film podcast Extended Clip come on for a talk about D.W. Griffith's century spanning epic INTOLERANCE: LOVE'S STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT THE AGES, amongst other things (it's a podcast so you know it's kind of a wandering conversation that goes off on tangents).
