Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles

We cover the new Paul McCartney documentary MAN ON THE RUN, out on Amazon Prime, which covers the Wings part of Paul's post Beatles era.  Among other things, we hear Paul's motivations behind founding Wings, the emotional struggles after the end of the Beatles, thoughts about John's angry statements about Paul, his marriage to and relationship with Linda, musical decisions of many of his best known songs, his reaction to John's death and more.
Overall it's a compassionate look that's surprisingly honest, given that Paul is an executive producer. The panel largely wanted more depth, but also enjoy what's here.
In our "I Read The News Today Oh Boy" segment, we discuss Peter Jackson's statement that there is footage of the White Album being recorded, and Paul's upcoming "intimate" concerts in Los Angeles.

The panel goes over the newest episode of the Beatles Anthology - Episode 9! Released last November (2025), this episode shows interviews of Paul George and Ringo at the time they were filming the Anthology in the mid-90s. We see their thoughts and feelings about looking back on the Beatles. We also get extended looks at the recording the John Lennon Demos "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love." We get a surprisingly happy George, Ringo warmly telling Paul to quit horsing around and a generally sunny time.
We also quickly discuss the upcoming Sam Mendes Beatles biopics, Ethan Hawke's Beatles take and a Mark Lewisohn ... er, power point presentation?

The panel goes over the recent documentary ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO. This is a look at John's only real solo concert, which he did at Madison Square Garden in 1972 to benefit a children's hospital. The doc also takes a lot of the news issues of the day which were influencing John and his struggles with immigration at the time. 
We're amazed at realizing how intense the nightly news was at this time, and it gave us new perspective on John's more politically minded songs and activism.
There's a lot of fun footage, including many phone calls John and Yoko were having with their staff and reporters.

The panel goes very deep on Anthology 4, the "new" volume of rare tracks released as a sequel to the 1994 documentary / music release Beatles Anthology.
I put "new" in quotes since many of these tracks were included on the re-mixes of Revolver, White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road.
It's a fun listen. We spend a lot of time going track by track to give our thoughts on it.
