Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks & Giovanni Lago to review and discuss the latest film from director James Mangold, "A Complete Unknown," starring Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Scoot McNairy & Dan Fogler. A music biopic of one of the world's most renowned and enigmatic stars, Bob Dylan, the film covers the small but pivotal time in his life and career when he crashed on the folklore scene during the 1960s and made the controversial decision to switch from acoustic to electric in his overall sound. What did we think of Mangold's adaptation, especially compared to his other music biopic, "Walk The Line?" What did we think of his direction, the performances, the music, and craftsmanship? Tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
