Magical Mystery Tour

It's sort of in

that zone between you've got Magical Mystery Tour a few years before this.

I've got a lot of smiley smile in the background of this, you know, with the vegetables and things like that.

I also

don't like Magical Mystery Tour, so I just don't.

I just think it's...

It's got better songs.

And he said, well, I've got an idea for you.

I said, what's that? He said, Magical Mystery Tour, the movie.

It's never been to the United States.

Only played in England.

Okay.

Come on, Magical Mystery Tour.

Right.

What? It is magical.

totally

joking.

what are the last three songs heard at the end of magical mystery tour

the movie

You know, let's just say that the Beatles weren't really that into it.

I think if you compare it to the Magical Mystery Tour, they were much more on the ball making help than they were making that film.

It's so funny.

Scott, your story of how you came to the movie literally could have been word for word mine.

John Bluthall is Buddha.

Patrick Cargill is the superintendent.

Victor Spinetti is Foot, and that, of course, is the TV director in A Hard Day's Night, and he also appeared in Magical Mystery Tour.

George Harrison said that Victor Spinetti had to be in all of their films because George Harrison's mom fancied him, and she would not go see any of their movies unless he was in it.

Last episode, we spoke about the demise and fall of Apple, or the triumphs and tribulations of Apple would be fairer.

And Martin Smith, who's a longtime friend of the podcast, and a longtime friend of me personally too, pointed out that we'd been a wee bit unfair on the legacy of Magical Mystery Tour, and he would like us to reassess that.

And so that's just what we did this time round.

Uh, we did try and film this, by the way.

We had a lovely chat in my front room after having watched the movie together, but for some reason the video failed, so you've got to put up with just an audio broadcast this time, which I know some of you prefer anyway.

So anyway, here you go.

Here is our appraisal, 60 years after the fact, of The Beatles' first public misstep, arguably, and that's Magical Mystery Tour.

Roll up.
