[@matthewbuzzell8601]

Dylan needs to start a Ringo Starr KZbin channel! Really passionate and knowledgeable about Ringo and great storyteller too!

Fantastic episode! In my top 5 TMT ‘s of all time. Dylan is an amazing story teller and Ed was full of great info on Broad Street. Thanks to all for an absorbing discussion.

I saw this in the theatre when it came out along with Rupert the Bear. I knew I would enjoy it because like Ken said, to have Paul and Ringo on the big screen it had to be great. I heard a funny comment from a moviegoer leaving the theatre who said he liked the cartoon better than the movie, meaning he didn't like the movie very much.

Thanks for a fanFABulous show! Setting the scene, october 1984, me 21 yrs old in theater with other beatles fanatics eagerly awaiting 2 of our heroes to be onscreen together, producing a magical ......sigh Tough film to sit through. So much too mention, keeping it brief hahaha Silly love songs redux visually = flock of seagulls meets Klaus nomi + michael Jackson ...btw loudest groans of displeasure in theater during this scene. If the script followed the band around, from rehearsal to gig to recording....would have made a more interesting dream lol Ringo chemistry? Ringo chemicals more like it...supposedly drunk and cocained out of his brain during these years. The new songs are really 🔥 no values, not such a bad boy, no more lonely nights, no more lonely nights play out version...all rock. I have no idea why Paul has never played these live. They all deserve a place in his set list. Thanks again guys...and Ed, I am so glad you became a beatles fanatic due to this very film. I just wish wings over the world 1979 tv show or wings rock show 1980 movie was what grabbed you. J/k

Subtly has a purple filter to reflect Prince,maybe? Enjoyed all the musical sequences especially the warehouse because of the rawness no nonsense playing with great musicians. Youmight notice during Yesterday @ the beginning he almost sings "Now I need a place to hideaway..... I worked @ The Bank of New York in NYC located within The CBS building & acquired an advance copy of the album & went to the priemier @ a cinema in Manhattan. The crowd was massive & when he arrived I & my wife were literally thrust & airborne. Beatlemania was alive & well to another level that night. These are my regards not regrets...!

49":00 - With Billy Swan, does anyone remember the Ringo sound-alike single he put out called "I Can Help" - which Ringo ironically badly covered on the Drunk Album?

I saw it in the theater, first run, no Rupert, I was in high-school and I saw it on back to back weekends, I would have seen it a 3rd time but it was gone out of my local theater very quickly. I liked it alot but at that point I had seen HDN or HELP so In my mind it is almost as good, now not so much. The music parts gold up very well, although I think Eleanor's Dream is a bit long.❤

No mention of Paul`s current tour where he is singing better than in years? As far as Ringo goes. I love him as the drummer of the Beatles, but i have no need for his new releases, all though some of them are quite good. I loved his version of "Rock around the clock" which sounded amazing. As far as Paul and "Give my regards to broad street" i always thought it was a better movie than people gave it credit for. It`s not a great movie, but it has got a plot, and it was interesting.

Paul could have made a purely musical film with no plot, have live duets with Jackson, Wonder, Carl Perkins etc interspersed with experimental videos of maccas music and songs

Kitt my regards to Broad Street!
