With the upcoming release of “A Complete Unknown,” in theaters on December 25th from Searchlight Pictures, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and I went back to 2005 to review and discuss James Mangold’s Johnny Cash music biopic, “Walk The Line,” starring Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Ginnifer Goodwin & Robert Patrick. Often cited as the template by which other music biopics are unfavorably compared to and quite famously parodied in “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” is Mangold’s film worth the criticism it has accumulated over the years? Tune in as we discuss the writing, performances, craftsmanship, music, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review of the Man in Black. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy!
