Happy Christmas! Have a bonus episode about War Is Over, the animated short from Dave Mullins and Sean Ono Lennon. ♟️We discuss the animation techniques ♟️Then we bang on about Toy Story 3 for a bit ♟️The song! You already knew John ripped it off, right?

Maybe a little Christmas bonus episode tomorrow. If you want it.

This seems Christmassy, so encore presentation of Rupert and the Frog Song's "We All Stand Togther"/Paul McCartney bass and vocal by Cara youtu.be/aRFTRkN4jCc More Beatles tinyurl.com/cararickbeatles #christmas #frog #beatles #paulmccartney

Live NOW (and Then) for the last time this season, we're discussing The Beatles Anthology's new episode 9. 🫖What's the impact of having no new Paul and Ringo interviews? 🫖We could watch Paul and George figure out guitar parts all day 🫖Does this round off the story for new fans - or complicate it?

And the final one this season, coming on Monday, is all about the new episode number 9 (number 9...) of The Beatles Anthology. Turn up the fader on this week's, about episodes 1-8, in the meantime.

The Beatles biopic universe cannot stop expanding. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Appropriate for pigeon fanciers of all ages, premiere at 6pm UK time if you haven't seen it. youtu.be/W68-XaFepOg?...

Part 1 of yer season finale is LIVE and of course, it's the polished up Beatles Anthology. We'll cover episode 9 next week but for now: 🍏Episodes 1-8: what's new and what's gone? 🍏How will this be received by the intended audience? (ie people younger than us) 🍏AI faces and The Beatles Ontology

Witness History - Ravi and George - BBC Sounds www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

And our last episodes of this season will of course be a two-parter on the new remastered Beatles Anthology on Disney+. On Monday 1st we'll talk episodes 1-8: what's been removed, what's been added and why do their faces look weird? Then on Monday 8th: the new episode 9.

Just updating our Beatles Anthology episodes to say "(original version)" in the title. No reason.

Part 2 of our chat about Concert for George with @stevenc63.bsky.social is now LIVE, and there's lots to discuss! 🍏What are the standout performances? 🍏Paul treads VERY carefully. How much credit does he deserve for how he handles this? 🍏Was Joe Brown getting the closing number a surprise?

Disappointed Kevin Eldon was overlooked but this will certainly do. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Because we took a long, long, long time recording it, our episode on Concert for George, guest starring @stevenc63.bsky.social, is in two parts, and part 2 is out on Monday! We'll talk about the standout performances, and in particular Paul and Ringo's contributions.

Quality looks gear in this trailer. I'm going to say: of the 90s interview quotes, this deliberately contains almost none we've seen before? youtu.be/igo3WQsLZd4?...

Tonight on my Soho Radio show, it's a Beatles Anthology spesh in which I'll be joined by Oliver Murray, producer of the new #Beatles Anthology episode and assistant editor and archive producer Adrian Winter. I'll be on air from 6pm, with Ollie and Adrian joining us from 7pm.

Now LIVE on tape from London and Belfast, it's part 1 of our episode on Concert for George, featuring @stevenc63.bsky.social of Nothing Is Real. 🍏Steven talks about the reverent atmosphere in the room 🍏Why didn't Bob Dylan or John Cleese show up? 🍏George's death and the cruel onward march of time!

Stripped down - almost like something from the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album - John singing Girl with just his acoustic guitar accompaniment highlights one of his best vocal performances youtu.be/nSXU7Lr3ncE?...

Very happy to announce something special for Monday. We will be joined by @stevenc63.bsky.social of the Nothing Is Real podcast @beatlespod.bsky.social to discuss the Concert for George film! Steven was at the concert, though he is famously reluctant to talk about it, but we dragged it out of him.

Now live: we discuss 1974's Son of Dracula. Vampires! Merlin! Ringo! 🧛Ringo as actor and producer: did he bite off more than he could chew? (Sorry) 🧛Nilsson's contributions to cinema: maybe this wasn't the best of them, but he certainly made others 🧛70s horror and the choice to be funny or serious

Watching the Michael trailer and because it cuts so quickly I didn't recognise Miles Teller here and thought Wait, is someone playing Paul McCartney in this? No, he's playing Jackson's manager John Branca. youtu.be/AuYmKbtnmEA?...

And normal service will resume on Monday when we talk about Son of Dracula, in which Harry Nilsson plays the title character and Ringo Starr plays (*checks notes*) Merlin? Yes, yes, Merlin. Yes, the wizard.

Now LIVE: our bonus episode in which Paul is Dead AGAIN in a British short film from 2018. 🍏 Even MORE detail on it, and our own theory on why 9 November 1966 was chosen as the day he supposedly died. 🍏 The Beatles' characters in this film and how the choices let it tell a full story in 12 minutes.

BONUS EPISODE tomorrow: why cover one film called Paul is Dead when you can cover two? We've got a short episode in the morning about this British short film from 2018 in which John, George and Ringo wake up to find Paul is, well, dead, and set about persuading a shepherd to replace him.

Now LIVE: our episode on Paul Is Dead, a German drama in which a boy in 1980 becomes fixated on the idea that Paul McCartney died in 1966. 🍏We dig into the conspiracy theory 🍏Teen obsession as a reaction to family upheaval in film 🍏A clip of the worst George Harrison impression you've ever heard

Am Monntag ist unsere episode uber "Paul is Dead", einen Deutches film von Hendrik Handloegten. In 2000 gemacht, es ist uber ein Junge Tobias, das glaubet dass Paul McCartney wurde in 1966 in Autounfall getotet.

Lovely stuff!

Now live: our episode on the documentary Good Ol' Freda. ⌨️ It's got the rights to use four Beatles songs! How did that happen? ⌨️ Friend of the family director Ryan White and the Netflix documentaries he's made since that you've probably seen ⌨️ Would Beatlemania have happened without Freda?

On Monday it'll be Good Ol' Freda, Ryan White's documentary about Beatles fan club president and secretary Freda Kelly. If her dad had let her move to London, would she have ended up running Apple?

If you haven't seen Jim Hosking's Ebony and Ivory we encourage you to, but you might not thank us for it. Our episode about it is out now. 🎹Provocative surrealism or waste of your time? 🎹Do we afford "rock myths" too much importance? 🎹Are things funnier when they're repeated? How about 20 times?

On Monday, strap yourself in for our take on Jim Hosking's Ebony and Ivory. It's deliberately provocative! And frustrating! Paul and Stevie (no surnames; plausible deniability) dress up as sheep and baa at each other for minutes at a time. Enter at your own risk.

Now live: we discuss the documentary Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade, released this year. 👓Its use of AI animation: does it work and does it suggest a coming trend in indie documentaries? 👓What sort of view of John is likely to result from such an overwhelmingly male collection of contributors?

Episode 3 on Monday is on Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade, which came out earlier this year. Lots to discuss! It's currently available on Prime Video without paying extra.

deadline.com/2025/10/mia-... Rumoured for a while, now seems confirmed

variety.com/2025/film/ne... Yes please

Now live, our episode on Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. 🍏What does the scene in which Dewey meets the Beatles in Rishikesh tell us about popular views of their personalities? 🍏Is it a laugh? 🍏What are the common hack tropes of the music biopic and has Sam Mendes seen this film? We hope so.

Some lovely George chat in here. And he doesn't even do the cinema ticket joke. www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/82d...

Monday! We'll be talking Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and THAT Rishikesh scene. It's a surprisingly long episode considering the Beatles are in the film for about three minutes. But plenty of things to discuss about music biopics and their common tropes.

Harris Dickinson on BBC Front Row with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social: they're still rehearsing, they start shooting in November, and yes he's finalised John's accent and no you can't hear it. I remain hugely reassured by the track record and approach of all four actors. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Season 7 is officially GO. First things first: George Harrison and John Lennon went on David Frost's show in 1967 to talk about their newfound practice of transcendental meditation, then came back next week and debated it with academics.
