#584 - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Acting)

With a biopic about Bob Dylan about to reach screens, we examined the last time that the Voice Of His Generation attempted to translate his songwriting style to cinema. MASKED AND ANONYMOUS (2003) finds Dylan working through his ambivalent feelings about politics, while also struggling to keep up with a hilariously overqualified cast.

PREVIEW - #581 - The Attitude Era

We all know that WWE founder and ex-CEO Vince McMahon shared a long friendship with Donald Trump, and would you believe that the two men share some stuff in common?

My favorite podcast so far….. from my mother to anyone I know nobody cared that he was killed and felt how everyone else did about his murder and what this country is about with healthcare, and it was very satisfying to see the great equalizer of people coming together of this disgusting system I have to live in

Who is this for? I already knew everything they were going to say before they said it. I hate when ignorant stupid people are encouraged to talk. I guess they don’t bully losers enough in Canada
Love it

The best film podcast, despite (because?) they actually talk a lot more about Jerry Lewis than Michael Moore. And recently, Aaron Sorkin. Canada’s best boys. Be sure to check out the legendary Star Wars IX review.
