Taking It Down

Bob Dylan, Vampires, and Popes: 'A Complete Unknown,' 'Nosferatu,' and 'Conclave'


Listen Later

The TV and streaming podcast for The Alabama Take returns from its winter break, which means it's time for movies. It's a set of three films, and every episode begins with some broad and non-spoiler thoughts to begin, and in this case, it's the Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' (0:59). The crew then answers if 'Nosferatu' is worth the theater experience (7:34). Then they end the non-spoiler section with high praise for the streaming movie 'Conclave' on Peacock (15:34).

In the spoiler section, it's politics and identity with 'A Complete Unknown,' as well as some of what's fact and fiction from the film (21:59). They then tackle the eerie reimagining of 'Nosferatu,' where the gothic horror evokes a certain vibe (44:37). Lastly in spoilers, 'Conclave' really is a must-see movie as it offers a new and gripping story in the secretive world of papal elections where the guys discuss even more identity and politics (54:54).

This week's episode ends with a short vote on what other Dylan eras are worthy of film (1:21:53).

Check out a lot more from this podcast and the podcast family on The Alabama Take.
