In this episode of WorkTape, we break down two very different music biopics: Complete Unknown (Bob Dylan) and Better Man (Robbie Williams). We explore how Timothée Chalamet brought Dylan’s folk era to life, compare it to other biopic performances, and reflect on Dylan’s influence and contradictions. We also discuss the bizarre choice to portray Robbie Williams as a CGI chimp, Coldplay’s lovable blandness, and why some international superstars never manage to crack the U.S. market. Come along as we dive into music history, cinematic experiments, and global fame.
