Episode 389: 'A Complete Unknown' with Enrique Chi

It's the latest star turn for former Ify Nwadiwe co-star Timothée Chalamet! We're joined by musician and educator Enrique Chi (instagram.com/enriquejavierchi) (of the appropriately-named band Making Movies (instagram.com/mkngmvs)) with us to share notes on the Bob Dylan origin story that isn't really an origin story at all. Then we'll have fun pitching our own ideas for musical biopics.
