Re the poll question: from the sounds of things, you made need to add Sleuth to your turkey list (and from the clips I've seen, I can see why)
This episode was the first podcast episode that I have listened to in my car. Thanks for making a long drive bearable.
Loved your review of I'm Not There, but I have one thing to say about the Christian Bale storyline. You say that it's obvious, but I think that was the point. It's hilarious to see Bale playing the stereotypical Dylan that most mainstream audiences remember him for. The nasally vocal, the protest songs, etc. etc. It was played the most straight and Moore was great as Baez. I also really loved the link Haynes made between the "Times They Are A-Changin' phase" and Dylan's Christian phase. Both were sort of periods where he went so so black and white with his music; it seemed really natural. Plus Bale in an afro and snake boots was hilarious.
Again great job, this was the first podcast I've listened to, but I'm sure to listen to more.
