John Hines is in for Jason DeRusha. We kick off the hour with a conversation with Laura Oakes about all the work that went into her deep dive piece on Bob Dylan in honor of the release of “A Complete Unknown” now in theaters. Both have seen the film and get into some of the creative liberties the film took and the acting performances.

The concept of consumption dominates much of the third hour discussion. Random throwaway gifts from Homegoods or maybe it's not about products at all. Lindsey subscribes to the underconsumption model that's in vogue again and how everything is a lot less shiny than what the glare suggests.

John wraps with some book recs.
