We’re back with an exciting new episode about screening the Bob Dylan biopic, entitled A Complete Unknown. First, I’m delighted to welcome my guest co-host, for this episode, Barbara Mitchellhill. Barbara is a committee member of the cinema group and many of our listeners will have had their tickets checked by her. She has written for BBC children's television and is an award winning author of many children's books. Welcome Barbara!

Today we'll look at the upcoming Dylan biopic, and talk about how last month's film, The Penguin Lessons (Peter Cattaneo, 2024) was received by the audience.

Barabara also lists the other biopics she'd love to see, and of course we ask where is Keith.

The Eccleshall Community Cinema podcast discusses the upcoming screening of The Penguin Lessons, including a dive into the film’s political-historical background, and more generally, films featuring wild animals.

We briefly welcome Keith back from his travels and ask him where he has been, and then we reflect on the success of September's screening of September 5 by Tim Fehlbaum.
