Spoiler Alert! A Complete Unknown Press Screening Reactions (With Michael Glover Smith)
On Tuesday, December 3. Michael Smith and I flew down to Orlando, FL from Chicago, IL for a press and guild screening of the new James Mangold film about Bob Dylan. It was an amazing experience. Immediately after the film, Michael and I went to the AMC theatre bar and talked for almost 2 hours about the film. Unfortunately I only hit record about halfway through our conversation, so you will be joining us mid-convo. First you’ll hear the 45 second spoiler free reaction and then we’ll transition to the full conversation. Please be aware this is a FULL SPOILER REVIEW. If you haven’t seen the film yet, I highly recommend you turn this off now, and wait until after you see it. You have been warned! Enjoy!
