Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to talk about A Hard Day’s Night for its 60th anniversary. A Hard Day’s Night is a musical comedy film directed by Richard Lester. It shares the name of the song and album by The Beatles. It opened in theaters in the United Kingdom on July 10, 1964. It debuted in the United States on August 12.  In the film, Paul, John, George, and Ringo fool off when they should be rehearsing for a television performance. Accompanying them in London is Paul’s mischievous grandfather (Wilfrid Brambell). Chaperoning the Fab Four are their managers Norm (Norman Rossington) and Shake (John Junkin). A Hard Day’s Night released during the beginning of Beatlemania in the U.S. It was nominated at the Oscars for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Score. Today, it is considered one of the greatest British films over all time.

They also discuss The Beatles’ legacy and director Sam Mendes’ upcoming movie series based on the band.
