TYT's Connection To Netflix's 'MANK,' and Behind The Scenes Stories of Herman Mankiewicz

[@tph2010]

I hope there's a "Mank Cinematic Universe" so Ben gets his own movie.

[@JG-ld4rs]

One of the coolest families ever. I remember when I put two and two together being totally shocked

[@jojomakes]

Unrelated, but I really enjoy watching Ben on _TCM_ on the weekends.

[@archielundy3131]

The memory of a stricken Frank Mankiewicz announcing the passing of Bobby Kennedy is burned into my memory.

[@KCsFunHouse]

I never knew Ben’s grandfather wrote the screenplay for Citizen Kane. It all makes so much sense now, Ben’s work with TCM and the political sphere must have to do with his grandfathers time in Hollywood and his fathers time in political commentary.

[@wolfstar675]

I knew Ben had to be related to Herman J Mankiewicz. Imagine being the grandson of the guy who wrote Citizen Kane!

[@rollerdragon]

Wow, do i miss the old sets!!!

[@lowktrk5559]

my grandpa was able to skip the draft by 1 day. his birthday was one day off. im so thankful. he grew up in detroit and went on to be a college professor and literally his favorite thing to was helping me with my homework even though i hated it back then, i love those memories💕

[@RadioLaPrincess]

I haven't seen Mank yet but plan to. I've been interested since I found out it's about Citizen Kane, which I love. Pretty amazing to have a father and grandfather like them.

[@DrakeMagnum]

I really liked it.

[@apelletier1886]

I lost my sh*t years ago when I figured that Ben was related to Mank. I'm a huge mark for Citizen Kane.

[@wolfstar675]

I miss What The Flick.

[@heliopolister]

I do too.

[@kellih9053]

Miss What the Flick-❤️ Ben.

[@ezajurrahman9421]

Keep up the good work Cenk. Enjoy the breather.

[@dragonslayer616]

Ben has looks better over time.

[@robhyuuga6190]

Ben has always been one of my favorite contributors to TYT. Hope to see more of him.

[@Brandonguytodd]

Soldiers! RISE you know what to do.

[@ThousandSunAnger]

That was striking, I actually remember that episode with Frank.

[@zambranaml]

My father got drafted for Korea and he became a paratrooper for the extra $90/month.

[@Redorgreenful]

It’s so cool to have this connection to someone so accomplished.

[@marspanda2362]

I'm only 2 minutes early wow. Never been this early 😂

[@danielyoung2641]

Love Ben... Great story...

[@jacquelinelee9006]

Why does Ben look like Rachel Maddow in the thumbnail

[@MrKnightm]

I knew it.

[@tacticalgrace6456]

Only recently got round to this fascinating movie. Just been reading a little in the era & I think it was a sadly missed opportunity that Mank never worked with Mae West. They both hailed from the same neck of the woods, were theatre people, started at Paramount, brought the same kind of satirical/cynical wit to their work and they both ran afoul of American censorship & W.R Hearst at one time or another roughly around the same period, 20’s to 40’s. A collaborative effort between them would’ve been 🔥 as the kids say today, at least IMO.

[@Nikkyeshiva83]

I'm absolutely certain Frank did not tell his son to bet money on RG3...Loved Mank and didn't immediately make the connection to this guy.

[@adrianbarajas8338]

yess

[@WilliamJames48]

Very Cool. I wanted to know more about this. Ty TyT

[@Tedger]

Too bad not many is watching it in Netflix :(

[@carsonpeterson758]

Can he tolerate action movies like die hard, bad boys, the rock, con air, eraser, broken arrow, commando, and even Armageddon

[@Thevoidlezz]

the US Airforce must been just been paratroopers back then atleast for all that get drafted with no special skills

MANK isn't Fincher's best effort.

[@basquat76]

When online poker was at it's highest a few years back i use to play alot. Like all the time. I was pretty good at it and won more then i lost. I stopped because just lost interest in it. It just stopped being fun even though i won and i haven't played since.

After 3 minutes - I have no idea what the heck they're talking about... I'm out.

[@M0rganKane]

Ben is Cenk's sometimes funny, often annoying rich liberals friend. He does no work for TYT but somehow gets on the panels for the most important events to slick his hair and be condescending to working class people. One thing I can't accept is that he is sometimes included in the "started from the bottom" story of TYT when he's from one of the most privileged families in america. He got a job talking about movies for crying out loud. You got to have connections for that. As far as I know, he's never acknowledged how privileged he has been.

[@katra777]

He was the initial investor that got TYT started and he started in the newsroom at the bottom. He did not go straight to movie reviews. Get your facts straight. They talk about their pasts so much.

[@M0rganKane]

Edit: he at least said he benefited from it in this video. First time I've heard.

[@M0rganKane]

@@katra777 all my facts are straight. My points remain the same. He got to where he is much quicker and with less effort than a regular dude. That's just how the world is, no reason for you or him to get defensive about.

[@Tartersauce101]

TYT is pro working class. Also, as a movie fan, I liked Ben talking about movies.

[@M0rganKane]

@@Tartersauce101 yes TYT is mostly pro working class (but union busting is highly worthy of criticism) but my point is that if a host is going to say something from a rich person perspective, it's often Ben. Hey, i like him talking about movies, he should not stop, but you don't get a job talking about movies on TV without having a privileged network.

There's nothing better than watching "socialists" discuss their big money corporate deals.

[@sonofliberty1]

I'm sure they'd identify more as social democrats and gambling has nothing to do with corporate deals.

[@jeffgojail]

@@sonofliberty1 Yeah, you're either against giant corporations or you partner with them. There is no inbetween. Anyway, my intent was to point out the hypocrisy in a couple of rich capitalists casually throwing the word socialism around all the time and trashing capitalists. Also, let's not be ridiculous, Social Democrat vs Socialist is a mighty fine hair to split to the average American who just hears the evil S word and stops listening.

[@sonofliberty1]

Well, then it's revolution tomorrow and I'm in. What about the hypocrisy of you, using electronic devices made by corporations with slave labor to point out the hypocrisy. I guess you have to work within the system eh?
