Magical Mystery Tour (Part 2)
from The Beatles Films Podcast
To close out season two, welcome to part 2 of our conversation about The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film. Thrill as we dissect the choreography of the Your Mother Should Know sequence in frankly punishing detail. Gasp as we unpack the quasi-religious subtext of The Beatles playing a group of omnipotent wizards. And nod knowingly as we wonder whether George Harrison was all that into it in general or if he'd have really just preferred to be dropped off at the services.Thanks a lot to everyone who listened to episodes in 2022 and talked to us through our social channels. We'd appreciate if you could subscribe and leave us a positive review on whatever platform you use: it really helps new people find us.
