The trio discuss Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan film, Austin Butler's Elvis, a Graceland visit where Bobby got recognized more than Austin Butler, and stories of actors' careers suddenly flipping.

In this bit10 moments
  • A Complete Unknown is a great movie with a fantastic performance by the young lead actor playing Bob Dylan.
  • Monica Barbaro, who was on Splitting Up Together, went on to land a major role in Maverick and has become a huge star.
  • An actress who was barely featured as a waitress on a show Tim worked on has since exploded in popularity, appearing on Ginny & Georgia and becoming a major success story.
  • Lady Gaga's film career appears to be over, with Tim suggesting that being on set with him is a career death sentence.
  • Tim's take: A Complete Unknown star looks genuinely good on screen as Bob Dylan, delivering a performance that surpasses other recent music biopics like Ramy Malek's Queen film.
  • A tour guide at Graceland admitted she didn't recognize Tim or his crew, but noted that Austin Butler had also visited and was similarly unrecognized, making Tim feel good.
  • Seventeen blocks have been closed off around the venue for the Golden Globes, which Tim finds excessive and jokes is overkill for a secondary award show.
  • Hosting the Golden Globes is a notoriously tough and weird gig, as demonstrated by past comedians like Kimmel who struggled with it.
  • A buddy of Tim's overheard a casual conversation on the Chicago subway where someone explained their friend's death as simply a dispute, delivered with unsettling calm.
  • Joe Rogan will be hosting and roasting at the 2025 Golden Globes ceremony.
