I always thought that Malcolm McDowell's narrative style was a little too salacious. Some of it sounded quite tawdry.

I thought the interview with the KGB agent was a revelation! Lol. The fact that the Soviet Union would send a agent to see what the Beatles were up to ! Lol

I liked this one ! It’s probably a lot better than Midas man. That’s for sure ! Lol

It’s an interesting movie I liked it in spite of some historical inaccuracies. It was a good look at John Lennon as a teenager.

Worth it if only for the Billy Preston interview explaining how he came to contribute to the Get Back recording in 1969.

I suspect George Harrison showed the makers of the Rutles a rough cut of the unfinished documentary from 1970 “The Long and Winding Road”.

Not bad for a first attempt on trying to tell the Beatles story.

I liked this I thought the actors did a good job. At least the director knew John and Paul.

I thought the documentary was AMAZING, Just FAB! Mr Stickermania

Being a cancer survivor myself I was impressed by the way they depicted Linda’s cancer treatment.

Why was Pete best interviewed ?

I would recommend “Going underground Paul McCartney and the underground “. It goes into much more depth on this ear and is able to use a lot of the Beatles music.

Also I can’t help thinking John Lennon played out Stuart’s life by doing exactly what he did. Leaving the Beatles to run off with an artist like Yoko Ono. One was German one was Japanese representative of the defeated axis forces of World War Two. That in itself was a statement that we are leaving the past behind.

You could argue the road to Sgt Pepper begins in Hamburg with Stuart and Astrid and that whole artistic scene. There is a reason Stuart is on the cover of Sgt Pepper in 1967.

I suspect the nudity and sex was probably much more extreme in real life in Hamburg in 1960 - 1961. Don’t forget this was a defeated generation of young Germans trying to leave the past behind. So I’m not surprised this was on display. The 1960’s was the beginning of the sexual liberation of that generation. The Beatles by accident found themselves in that environment. And where shaped by it.

season 5??? what are you even talking about?

Where can i watch the movie guys? (Any website or streaming service)

Perhaps you're not aware of how important 1964 was in the Beatles' story here in the USA.

Reason for maiking Beatles '64? Apple re-released the U.S. Beatles albums from 1964 on vinyl recently. Even a box set. This documentary put those albums in context.

I think there's a good argument for Dick Lester to be considered the father of MTV. Not the Beatles so much. More credit should go to the Monkees and Mike Nesmith for the concept and the early style of MTV.

It could have been done better! Overall i did like it Picture quality and audio quality good but not enough live Beatles like Washington DC concert and Ed Sullivan show and Miami Beach TV show! And maybe better historian music people do some talking real Beatles and music experts it was lacking some real top notch production it needed more of Peter Jackson involvement Thanks

For starters the photo of the four bowing is a total fake

What could possibly live up to all this HYPE?

Let’s face it, it’s crap!

What a disappointment that Beatles '64 documentary ! It goes all over the place, and very little music and performances. The dvd The Beatles First US Visit is much better!

I have insight on the Elaine Kim situation .. yes it was a random find.. because my version was also gonna be used for a montage but only hers was used..

Very poor by the producers, not talking abt Scorsese at all. Sorry, Fab4.

seems like this was done years ago on the beatles complete video, that is now out of print. i have an old vhs, and its the most comprehensive doc i've seen. even better than ron howards, which is really good. some good film bits we've never seen, but its not a 2 hour flick.

On par with the Ron Howard doc. Didn’t meet my expectations. Too many talking heads. Sounded good. I feel like they could’ve done more with the footage.

This movie, was suppose to be "meet the beatles", a TV documentary, sort of like a reality-promo show, to americans "follow on TV", the tour with the Beatles, at the end it didn´t work and they made the movie A Hard Days night, which was more ajust to the exact marketing image, the beatles team wanted to sell them, i´ve always thought that the "Dylan" marketing team thought on this documentary to make don´t look back, to sell Dylan to the world

Milyen az a szerelmi történet, amit egy HARMADIK EMBER DIKTÁL ELLENŐRIZ?????????(( YOKO ONO) Gusztustalan perverz historia

Jon black Stone I have to say that the riff is a early days riff and I will try to remember what it is but do you know

I just wanted to thank May for her ongoing truth

Love is!! 👍❤

They used a scene cut from the anthology on George´s documentary living in the material world, and George dropped a huge bomb on John, he said that John didn´t even knew that guitars had 6 strings, and Paul basically tought him how to tune his guitar, basically saying that John was all attitude but he was a total mess as a musician

George Martin´s reaction when he was noticed the beatles were number 1 in america was "fantastic" but with the most boring controlled, buttoned up emotional reaction ever captured on a footage, LMAO, he was so english and so well mannered he would never loose himself a bit infront of the cameras, lol

I think the anthology is great but is the same situation of the no direction home documentary about dylan, are mostly marketing tools, saddly the juicy stuff is not made into documentaries, people just can´t have love for the image and understand the reality at the same time, people only can handle polar images, either good or bad, it´s sad, but somehow the truth is out there,

We have one big problem with Midas Man: Eddie Izzard! He’s a complete knob and we can’t watch him anymore, so we won’t be watching the film I’m afraid. Such a shame.

ive enjoyed listening , i like hearing bits like paul not liking or fighting with stu, theses are real people you cant like everyone and at there young age its to do with finding your way and how you adjust has you grow

The discussion of "cultural appropriation" at least for someone who is not Anglo-Saxan sounds logically inconsistent. If Beatles was "culturally appriorating" black artists music when performing it, what about Jessye Norman who was then appropriating the most quintessential white, more specifically Italian and German, music, i.e. operas. Obviously there has been plenty of black singers and musicians performing classical European music - and even more Japanese and Chinese nowadays. Should we condemn all these great non-European artists for performing European music?

Great job chaps. A good listen. Easy to overlook from the perspective of 2024 is just how much anti Japanese sentiment existed back then. If Ono had been say European I think UK public sentiment would have been quite different towards them as a couple.

Great show lads! Ps time wounds all heals/heels is a Groucho Marx line

it seems quite telling that among Paul's other mis-remembrances, he incorrectly doubles the age difference between him and George, from 9 months to 1.5 years -- conveniently exaggerating their age difference to better excuse himself for talking down to George as if he was a much younger lad.

I think May works very hard to cement her place in Beatle history. Two books and a film would suggest that. Yoko controlled everything in this relationship. She used May till she was ready to take John back and she knew she could at anytime. Yoko made sure her presence was around even by phone. I’m not saying John didn’t care for May and she obviously was very much in love with him, but I believe John was just waiting for Yoko to give the high sign. Kudos to May for encouraging John to reestablish his relationship with Julian.

All the girls were heartbroken when learning of Linda in his life Even celibrities like Oprah Winfrey.

Yoko Ono is a genius!

I absolutely loved it ❤️

Thanks, love the pod.

Btw… the words on wall written by George is a phone number. BR9 3200. Here in states - I’m from New Jersey/close to NYC - At one time, our numbers started with exchanges. As a kid, my home number was GE 8 6328. Stood for GENEVA 8 6317. Or, 438-6328. Numbers 4 & 3 are G & E on phone key pad. This is how we would give people our phone number. With letters & numbers included. Phased out in early 1970’s. BR 9 3200 was probably B Ridge, or BRoad(way) which translates to 279-3200. Clearly fictional. Perhaps, the phone number of some girl George met? Hah. Also, phone number ending in something like 3200, or 4200, etc… was usually was a business.

You mentioned The Beatles being the first rock and roll act on the Royal Variety Performance but technically speaking the first to play would have been Cliff Richard and the Shadows, who played in 1959, 1960. 1962? Or Marty Wilde (1959)?
