Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere

So...

And, of course, if you've seen the movie or read the book Deliver Me From Nowhere, you know that Bruce is exercising a lot of demons in the production of that.

And it ends...

The movie ends with Bruce going to therapy and kind of, like, sobbing.

Sam, I feel really bad about this.

I have not had a chance to watch Deliver Me From Nowhere yet because I want to be able to give it like my full attention, which, as you know, as a parent is hard these days.

But given what you know about Bruce and what you saw in the film, is it true that for Nebraska, Bruce pretty much exclusively used that old J200 or was he using the Takamine

at that point? No, Nebraska's all J-200.

I didn't have slap back echo on it, but it has that sort of sound.

It's a great sound.

But then when Deliver Me From Nowhere was made, they kept talking to us actually a little bit too about like, we need a like red guild guitar, like a Starfire six string red guild.

And it's like...

He goes to Los Angeles and gets into some therapy.

This is all depicted in the movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, even though Stephen does not have a speaking part in that movie, which Jesse even mentioned.

That seems like maybe not great.

What a

Yeah.

And so and it has been widely argued that without the tension between Bruce and Steven, neither of these songs would end up on the record.

And and Chuck Plotkin, who was also one of the other producers credited on the album, played by Marc Maron in the movie.

Yes.

In the eyes of many, Jeremy Allen White has given one of the best recent performances on television in The Bear, and I would agree with them.

I believe he's been good in movies, he's good in The Rental, The Iron Claw, and Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere, but he has yet to give a definitively great performance.

I like him in The Social Reckoning as journalist Jeff Horowitz.

I just don't think he does the thing that I think he does best on screen, which is playing angry.

One of the most talked about aspects of The Social Reckoning is Jeremy Strong playing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and not Jesse Eisenberg, who was Oscar nominated for The Social Network.

Strong is a polarizing actor in that he's become the face of modern method acting.

Though it's hard to argue with the results, he gave an all-time performance in Succession, and his film career includes The Big Short, The Gentleman, Armageddon Time, The Apprentice, and Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere.

He received his first Oscar nom for The Apprentice.

rocket man biopic totally hunk of crap turned it off and for her number six she said elvis they made up a lot of stuff and i pretty much thought this movie was horrible too and the movie

was springsteen deliver me from nowhere

i'm talking about the bob dylan biopic of a year and a half ago

yep starting jeremy allen jeremy uh alan white

it's another movie we're not thinking of something man movie

called springsteen deliver me from nowhere This one? No.

No.

In fact, it got nice reviews a year and a half ago.

You, you try to get all three as close as you can together with overlap.

Um, it's funny, I, I, I spoke to, uh, Jeremy Strong and I spoke a lot in doing Deliver Me From Nowhere, both playing r- real people, uh, again in that film.

And, and i- in a lot of ways we were so lucky to have Bruce and Jon around as much as they were.

But of course, yeah, the pressure, um ...

Um, you, you're kinda hired for your, your perspective on this, but you also have a responsibility to, to tell the story as truthfully as possible.

So, so yeah, it's a bit of a, it's a bit of a balancing act.

But I remember getting together with Sorkin to talk about doing this film, and I had just wrapped Deliver Me From Nowhere, and, uh, yeah, I was a nervous wreck after finishing that film.

The film was about to come out a- a- you know.

in two years.

Both those movies, I feel, I feel, I feel the same about both those movies except Springsteen has a little more sauce visually than this movie.

This movie had no sauce visually.

I must say a little more sauce visually? It had a lot more sauce visually.
