Comedy person Deanna Ortiz ("Crushes") joins Andy & Steph to talk Dylan (and Chalamet) in 2024's Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown!

Comedy person Adam Burke ("Wait Wait Don't Tell Me") joins Andy & Steph to talk about one of the more unconventional choices for the podcast: D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 documentary, "Original Cast Album: Company." As a bonus, the gang ends up talking a LOT about the the "Documentary Now" episode "Original Cast Album: Co-Op." Adam talks about how "Co-Op" led him to "Company." Andy is mostly mad that we're covering this movie. And Steph talks about how "Company" made her ready to risk it all.

Andy and Steph hit record immediately after seeing Francis Ford Coppola's massive not-NOT-a-musical, Megalopolis. What makes it bad? Is there anything good about it?? Is ANYONE getting out of this unscathed?? Then, there's more thoughts on Joker: Folie a Deux and what the response to that movie has been like (heard any good jokes lately?), making this episode a certified Megalop-a-Deux! We'll be back with more full musical talk for our next episode, The Muppet Movie (1979).
