So Deliver Me From Nowhere is about the making of his album Nebraska.

It's the early 80s.

He's just come off several hit records, a hit tour.

And as we all know now, he was driven to record and release this very stripped down, extremely lo-fi album without the E Street Band.

I saw this movie a couple months ago at the Telluride Film Festival.

Joe, you recently saw this movie.

What sort of expectations did you have going in?

What were you curious about?

The album Nebraska.

It is a, as I said, it's dark music.

It's lo-fi, pretty quiet, pretty interior, which the film sort of mirrors in its own way the vibe of that album.

A very quiet film.

Yeah.

I think we got that.

Lindsay, are you a Nebraska person?

Absolutely.

I mean, it is definitely a counterintuitive choice, and I'm very curious to see how fans receive it, to see how the general public receives it.

As an Oscar nerd, I'm certainly curious to see whether or not Jeremy Allen White's performance as Bruce Springsteen or Jeremy Strong's performance as John Landau, his manager, whether or not those get any nods from the Academy.

Joe, what did you think of Jeremy Allen White?

I mean, one of the things, again, I feel like with this one and the Bob Dylan movie from last year, A Complete Unknown, I remember talking to the director of that movie, James Mangold, and he was talking about how he was attempting to not make this your typical biopic.
