Yellow Submarine (Part 2)

In part two we close out our third season with some good old-fashioned British magic realism. Is Yellow Submarine a magic realist piece, and if so are the submarine or the Beatles themselves the conduit for the magic?Plus! We discuss its eastern European influences, and talk about the failed Robert Zemeckis remake, how far it got, and the technological and industrial reasons why it didn't go any further.Thanks very much for listening to us again this season. If you could give us a five-star rating in your podcast app, tweet about us, tell a friend or graffiti our name on a bus stop we'd greatly appreciate it. See you for season four!Here's the pinball animation from Sesame Street: https://youtu.be/JZshZp-cxKgSome footage from the abandoned Zemeckis remake: https://archive.org/details/the-beatles-yellow-submarine-3d-unseen-found-footageMeet the Beatles Films PodcastThe Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
