Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere Interview with Odessa Young
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel hits the road to The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey to sit down with friend of the show Odessa Young and discuss her new film SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. The film stars Jeremy Allen White and chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. The album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe. Odessa last joined us in April when we were in Australia for The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere releases in theatres October 24, 2025. Toy Story in Concert
