That'll Be The Day

from The Beatles Films Podcast

It's 1973: The Beatles are no more, but don't worry, David Essex has 100% filled the void. Here he stars as Jim MacLaine, a wayward youngster trying to make it after leaving home. His best work friend is played by none other than Ringo Starr, and neither of them is all that nice. How shocking is it to see Ringo playing a womaniser? Do we see his bum, or is it a stunt bum? (This gets more discussion than it arguably merits.)NOTE: Matt might sound a bit tinny in this episode, because of his laptop wiping his recording, so what you hear is all recorded through Ed's mic. We hope it doesn't spoil anything for you. Where's Peter Jackson's AI audio capture software when you need it?Meet the Beatles Films PodcastThe Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
