About this episode

The episode reviews the 2024 film 'A Complete Unknown' directed by James Mangold, exploring themes of celebrity and anonymity.

Today we will review a 2024 James Mangold directed movie called, A Complete Unknown, and honestly? Same. However, you may feel better about your anonymity when you learn that the cost of celebrity is being a two-timing, contrarian, standoffish jerk who looks (and acts) like Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones. Perhaps I’m being harsh. Many people enjoyed this movie charting the ascent of folk-music hero Bob Dylan, enough that it nabbed itself more than a few award nominations. Will it enjoy a similar reception from Magellans at the Movies, or is the film just blowin in the wind? Gather round listeners wherever you roam and listen to the Mr. Movie Men tell you all about it!
