Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles

The panel lists the songs they feel strong personal connections to. What songs do YOU feel the strongest connection to? Why has "Mr. Moonlight" become a treasured personal memory for the podcast?

The panel watches the 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. Originally a television special for the BBC on Boxing Day (day after Christmas, Americans) it is now seen as the Beatles third movie. A largely improvised film led by Paul, the film is seen as.... a mixed bag! A lot of the sequences are kinda, how do I put this, boring? But we also have a great music video for I Am The Walrus and some comedy(ish) sequences that are fun!

Watch along with us!

We go over the 1974 John Lennon album Walls and Bridges! This was John's 4th solo album, and the final one he recorded before going on a nearly 5 year hiatus from recording. It's got the hits "#9 Dream" and "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" but of course has a lot of great songs besides. The panel gets into it!

What would you put on your Beatles best-of if you couldn't use any of their hits? That's the challenge the panel does in this episode.

We each complied a "deep cut" Beatles best-of. These were our rules:

• Nothing that was on the "red" (1962-1966) or "blue" (1967-1970) albums, including the 2023 expanded versions.
• Nothing that was on the Beatles "1" compilation.
• Nothing that was on the "Past Masters" collections.

We limited ourselves to 78:30 -- the length of the "1" CD.

It was a fun challenge! Listen to what made the lists!
