In light of the recent release of the James Mangold film A Complete Unknown, Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Dylan superfan Al discuss the man, the myth, and the music.

The film clearly aimed to make the music, environment, and political activity of the ’60s come alive today, but does the simplification required to make a coherent film undermine that goal? We also touch on his Chronicles, plus I’m Not There and other Dylan-related films.

Listen to Al’s Bob Dylan playlist. Hear young Mark cover Dylan’s longest tune.

Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @ixisnox, @MarkLinsenmayer.

What is Pretty Much Pop?

Pretty Much Pop brings together philosophers, artists, comedians, and other smart folks to talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.
