I'm a casual fan, mostly of the era focused on in the movie. But a handful of later tracks are ok. Now, I have a buddy who collects everything by him and goes to see his awful concerts and I'm like, but why?! ๐ญ
But what I am interested in is the Greenwich Village folk scene in general and that is where Mangold really fucked things up. Dave Van Ronk barely featured and Phil Ochs not featured at all? Come on now! Plus the whole Johnny Cash subplot could have (and should have) been dropped since it only invited comparisons to the same director's much better film Walk the Line and Joaquin Phoenix's much better performance. Boyd Holbrook - who I typically like - plays him as if it's an SNL sketch.
No clue how it was nominated for Best Picture, although it was better than Emilia Pรฉrez, which is the height of cringe.

Great sock show!
