Magical Mystery Tour (film) Watchalong

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 01:18:35

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!

Beatles '64 Documentary - Abridged

Tuesday, December 10, 2024 • Duration 16:00

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The panel discusses the new documentary Beatles '64, released November 2024 on Disney Plus. Using a lot of behind the scenes footage from the Beatles first U.S. visit, which includes their landmark appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Although this is not the landmark event that Peter Jackson's Get Back doc was, it's still really fun for Beatles fan.

A lot of the behind the scenes footage is from the journalists Albert and David Maysles. As Will points out, a lot of it was featured in a VHS tape called The First U.S. Visit. But the doc add a lot of interviews with Paul and Ringo, as well as journalists, musicians (Smokey Robinson) and some of the original Beatles fans captured on film at that time.

Will was a bit grouchy -- he'd seen a lot of this footage in an old VHS tape called The Beatles First U.S. Visit and wasn't into the talking heads interview. The other panelsts enjoyed it a lot!

Fantasy Next Beatles Album - Abridged

Monday, November 18, 2024 • Duration 16:16

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The panel guesses at what the next Beatles album might have been if they hadn't broken up. This is a common pasttime for Beatles fans, and is one of the most commonly suggested topics for an episode! Well, we try it!

We decided that the album could be 48 minutes maximum, and could include any song that was available for the Beatles to record by December 1970.

Will, Joel, Katie and Brett each had very different approaches to their albums. Listen to hear our picks, and then join our Discord (info at screwitpodcasts.com) to discuss what you would have done.

NOTE: We forgot to consider "It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr. We were thinking of it as a 1971 song but of course it was recorded in 1970 and should have been in consideration. I'm sure there's others but this is a big enough oversight that we wanted to flag it here.

The Concert for Bangladesh (film) - Abridged

Monday, October 28, 2024 • Duration 15:34

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The panel had never seen this 1972 concert film of George Harrison's seminal fundraising concert. We watched and it and, of course, loved it.

The Concert for Bangladesh was the first celebrity concert fundraiser, at least in the rock and roll space, and it's a great one. You've got incredible musicians on stage: George, Ringo, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Badfinger and more. You've got George doing live versions of While My Guitar Gently Weeps (trading solos with Clapton), Something and Here Comes the Sun. You've got Ringo doing "It Don't Come Easy" to raucous applause. Even the disorganized moments (so many guitars? George forgetting lyrics to Something?) and the notable absecnes (no Paul, no John) do not take away from the overall joy of this terrific concert.

We get into it!

Friday, October 4, 2024 • Duration 13:37

This is a short except from a bonus episode available in our subscriber feed. We discuss the FILM "One Hand Clapping!" To subscribe go to screwitpodcasts.com.

Here is the description from our bonus ep:

------------------

The panel discusses the recently re-released version of One Hand Clapping, the documentary! it's footage of Wings in the studio, originally filmed for the BBC. Now, it's a precious time capsule of young Paul McCartney executing the beginnings of his post-Beatles catalog.

We also get into: the director's intereste choices of extreme close ups, Geoff Britton's karate gis, whether or not the conductor of the orchestra looks like Geraldo Rivera, how cool Linda looks, and lots of other stuff!

One Hand Clapping - Abridged

Friday, September 20, 2024 • Duration 15:16

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The panels takes a look at what essentially is a live Paul McCartney solo album: One Hand Clapping. Done as part of a television special for the BBC in the 1970s, this album are some songs Paul recorded with a lineup of Wings shortly after he'd (they'd?) done their amazing album Band on the Run.

Although passed around as a bootleg for years, a well mixed and professionally mastered version was released this past June with some extra tracks.

We got a lot of live, loose, energetic Paul McCartney. Some of the versions of songs here, like Live and Let Die, surpass the studio versions. Some are just as good (Jet). And the ones that don't (Band on the Run) are still so fun to hear. Paul's confidence and joy come through in every track. There's also several unfinished songs that end up on future Paul projects (like I'll Give You A Ring).

We also listen to the "Backyard Sessions" which is a recording of an impromptu solo acoustic performance Paul did on lunch while the main album was being recorded. No lunch for the recoring engineer when Paul is around!

We love it!

Give My Regards To Broad Street - Post Film Discussion - Abridged

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 • Duration 15:06

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had planned on doing a "watch along" of Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984 Paul McCartney film), which we did. But then the next day we were texting so much about it, and we soon all realized we watned to record ANOTHER WHOLE EPISODE ON IT.

So this episode is that: a follow-up to our viewing of Broad Street. A one hour follow up. Maybe you only want to hear this discussion. Maybe you only want to watch the film along with us. Maybe you will do nothing but consume media about the film "Give My Regard To Broad Street" for the rest of your life!

The movie is truly interesting. Not so much the movie itself, but what it could have been. And what Paul's motivations might have been for doing it. There's lots of good ideas in it, and also lots of things that just don't work. As you can hear, we really enjoyed watching the film and talking about it.

Give My Regards To Broad Street - WATCHALONG - Abridged

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 15:24

(This is an abridged version - subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for the full version)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The panel does a "watchalong" of the 1984 Paul McCartney film "Give My Regards To Broad Street."

We are watching a version that is, as of this podcast release, on YouTube. "Give My Regards to Broad Street Full Movie Full HD." We start watching at 12:03.

This movie is a fictional day in the life (no pun) of Paul McCartney. There's also a plot in which a friend seems to have stolen the masters of an upcoming album, and Paul needs to find these masters and determine if his friend actually betrayed him. Along the way, there's several performances of Beatles tracks and McCartney solo tracks, including the lovely new song "No More Lonely Nights." Ringo makes an appearence, as does George Martin, and Linda and Jeff Porcaro (drummer from Toto) and John Paul Jones (bass player from Led Zeppelin) and... it's wild!

This movie is basically not well-regarded. It was a flop commercially and critically. But there's really interesting sequences. And as Beatles fans, it's interesting to try and guess why it appealed to Paul to do.

We were so fascinated by it that we got together the NEXT DAY and recorded another whole episode discussing it! That episode will appear next in this podcast feed, probably tomorrow.
