Season 8 Episode 12: The Beatles in Movies 2
Chris and Steph attempt to discuss The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine and A Hard Day’s Night, but naturally end up debating football, British accents, Jesus, Ringo’s facial hair, wrestling, cultural appropriation, and whether “Dick Boob” is a real person.
Somewhere in the chaos, they make actual points: Yellow Submarine is a psychedelic animated fever dream packed with pop-culture references, while A Hard Day’s Night is a sharper, scrappier comedy that helped shape the mockumentary. They also investigate the Beatles’ strangest characters, questionable voice-acting choices, Blue Meanies, Jeremy Hillary Boob, and why Ringo may secretly be the funniest Beatle.
