My name is Ben Barrel and this is Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-depth look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by records.

And usually I want to start the podcast by looking at a little bit of Bob Dylan news.

I've just been reading about the upcoming biopic, which has been kind of like stalled and has been off and then has been on again for a long time now

um it looks like timothy shalamee's still going to play bob dillon some people well i've seen

quite a few people online saying they're not too happy with that it doesn't seem like a popular

choice within the bob dillan fan base i don't know i think he's fine isn't he he's been pretty good

and stuff i've seen um the latest news on this, is that it looks like he's going to sing in the film,

which may actually disprove my theory of him being fine.

We shall see on that.

Hopefully it's another Wacking Phoenix situation.

I don't know.

Anyway, we'll see on that.

That is coming, I don't know, I think next year, apparently.

It's going to go into production this summer.

That's what we're hearing.

We shall see on that.

Thank you for your messages on the last episode of this podcast.

Some people were saying that that Rebecca Black song Friday is actually not a Bob Dylan original.

And to you, I say, you're wrong.

And how dare you?

I have received some disappointed emails.

Hi to Luke, though, said this is the best episode
