Give My Regards To Broad Street - WATCHALONG

The panel does a "watchalong" of the 1984 Paul McCartney film "Give My Regards To Broad Street." 

We are watching a version that is, as of this podcast release,  on YouTube. "Give My Regards to Broad Street Full Movie Full HD." We start watching at 12:03. 

This movie is a fictional day in the life (no pun) of Paul McCartney. There's also a plot in which a friend seems to have stolen the masters of an upcoming album, and Paul needs to find these masters and determine if his friend actually betrayed him. Along the way, there's several performances of Beatles tracks and McCartney solo tracks, including the lovely new song "No More Lonely Nights." Ringo makes an appearence, as does George Martin, and Linda and Jeff Porcaro (drummer from Toto) and John Paul Jones (bass player from Led Zeppelin) and... it's wild!

This movie is basically not well-regarded. It was a flop commercially and critically. But there's really interesting sequences. And as Beatles fans, it's interesting to try and guess why it appealed to Paul to do.

We were so fascinated by it that we got together the NEXT DAY and recorded another whole episode discussing it! That episode will appear next in this podcast feed, probably tomorrow.
