Genuinely don’t understand how people hate this movie. The cinematography alone makes it a standout
Mr Kornfeld would beg to differ
i'm the first to say i don't usually agree with Kelsey but I've NEVER agreed more to anyone in the world than Kelsey with this movie. I would DIE for this movie.
Now I need to know how Zach and Kelsey feel about the movie "Yesterday"
Yeah when Zack said he just wanted a simple love story lol... I really loved Yesterday!
saw this ep just to watch garrick struggle to not fully dissociate from his body for an hour lmaoo
Zach’s snobbery is showing in this one 😂 He was definitely one of those kids who didn’t want to like things other people liked growing up. This movie is good and the soundtrack is amazing. Maybe not the best movie ever or not made for fancy critics like Zach but it is good
We need Barbie princess and the pauper.
It would make the best episode
barbie nutcraker i need to know if kelsey thinks the nutcracker is hot too
-The second Zach said "He's the only person to ever cover the Beatles better than the Beatles" is when I gave up trying to understand his opinion in this episode lmao.
-My dad used to sing I Want To Hold Your Hand to me when we crossed streets when I was little. It holds a special place in my heart.... The slow sapphic version in this movie gave the song a whole second life for me.
-I've just seen a face (the movie version) gets stuck in my head for weeks at a time regularly and I'm so okay with that.
-Kelsey wins this episode.
I GASPED at the title. I truly did not think I’d see the day. TEARS IF JOY IN MY EYES FOR YOU GUYS COVERING THIS
I screamed. This has been my comfort movie for a decade lmao never thought I’d see the day either !
Red white and royal blue next 🙌
It's a musical, Zach. Couldn't roll my eyes harder at his reactions.
2:30 two minutes in and I just have to say Zach you are wrong about everything and I will stand with Kelsey to defend this movie till the end of time
Oh no Kelsey doesn’t know Love in Vegas is closing. In the next few weeks.
That version of I wanna hold your hand is perfection, how dare you.
My Beatles hot take is that the Across the Universe/Jim Sturgess version of "I've Just Seen a Face" is better than The Beatles version
I couldn’t agree more!
Yes. It's the only version I listen to.
"Across the Universe and over my head" -Garrick
Kelsey you are so right queen and im only a few seconds into this video but ur so right.
PLEASE watch Zathura, the most underrated movie on this planet (off this planet) directed by the king himself, Jon Favreau starring Josh Hutchinson, Kristen Stewart and Dax Shepard.
I was 21 in 2007 and a snob Silverlake (LA) hipster and I LOVED this movie. I couldn't get enough.
This movie had such an impact on my family. I don’t care how loose the plot is it’s a great movie.
garrick still keeps being the one I relate to the most. across the universe and over my head fr. finally someone understands what it feels like when a hollywood movie (usually comedies) depends too much on references. I wanna be in on the joke too man!
I know the strike is over but we need a D’angelo episode, I NEED to see everyone panic at “Untitled”.
I feel like they talked about d'angelo at length during the usher episode, no?
The I Want You/Heavy is so iconic
*Red, White & Royal Blue*
Nothing guilty about it. This film is always a pleasure.
zach's new hair???? slay
I don’t get how Zach’s entire position for hating this movie is that he’s a Beatles snob but he doesn’t know what Hey Jude was written by McCartney for Lennon’s son??
One of these days y’all are going to let Garrick finish a sentence lol
Zach complaining about how the characters are doing the literal things they’re singing about - does he know what a musical is…?
the way i listen to this soundtrack regularly and watch the movie at least once a year, but ill never put on a beatles record til the day i die. this movie is MAGIC. thank you kelsey!!!!!!
So if you are someone who likes this movie, you will LOVE Pirate Radio, it’s so so so much more fun
oh yeah I second this Pirate Radio was so much fun!
Zach has officially completed his full transformation into Jack Antnoff haha
The amount of times I love to sing SO LOUD this soundtrack ughhhh. Also wish the first song was longer. The beetles would be proud ❤
just so you know my fav episodes are ones where y'all fight each other (but especially zach)
I need to know the reason for the giant pepper grinder on the table next to Zach.
Also, love how I had a moment of connection with Kelsey about bonding with our dads over the Beatles.
Final note- started listening to this on my drive to Trader Joe’s and there was a car in front of me with a license plate that said, “B3ETL3S”
(I noticed the pepper shaker after I got home- don’t phone and drive!)
I hated this movie but still loved listening to you guys dissecting it
😂 same. Great episode. I love episodes where they’re gushing over how brilliant a movie is… but i like episodes like this where theyre true to the form of the podcast
I got the Beatles 1 album gifted to me for my 3rd birthday (I’m 29 now) and used to be so obsessed with Come Together I would beg my mother to play “the typewriter song”. I called it that because of the clicking in the beginning. Across The Universe is the best jukebox musical of all time. I said it.
KELSEY I RIDE WITH YOU AT DAWN FOR DEFENDING THE BEST MOVIE MUSICAL
YES YES YES more people need to know and appreciate the Beatles! And their less than 10 year long, revolutionary career as a band (their individual careers are a whole other beast lol)
I am still waiting for them to review Master of Disguise. A classic movie from my childhood, that would be hilarious to see them review
My favorite movie of all time! Followed closely by "Amélie" (2001).
I'm not even a HUGE fan of the Beatles; I like the classics, enough. If I wanna listen to the Beatles, I pop in this soundtrack.
These are my two faves too! 🥹🤓
FYI Bealtes Love ends on July 6th so get going!
They need to get out here to Vegas, quick because the LOVE show is at the Mirage and that casino is closing sometime in July. The show is on it's last few runs! Kelsey! CATCH IT ONE LAST TIME!
I turned 13 two days before Across the Universe came out and saw it in theaters TWICE. I think this movie actually altered my brain chemistry.
I can't believe how wrong Zach is.
This is giving me flashbacks to Moulin Rouge. Zachs' opinions and feelings are real and valid- they're just wrong. He did love Cats tho 🙃 soooo idk if his opinions on holds much weight on these types of films. These movies are actually good. ATU is an acid trip but I loved how it showed what was happening in the world at that time. There was war overseas and within the country. College students protesting about it and cops/ military trying to stop them. It was an extremely turbulent time. And reflecting on it now, it's crazy how history repeats itself
Im so happy yall are covering this. Its one of my late friends favorite.
So, I loved this movie when it came out (and I was 15 years old). I haven't watched the movie all that much but I was real into the soundtrack. I enjoyed the reimagined beatles songs. Now I'm kind of over it, whatever. But I have 2 thoughts:
1. I remember Evan Rachel Wood saying in some interview that a lot of the songs were performed live on set. When Tom Hooper's Les Mis came out and they were like oh we sang the songs on set no one's ever done that. And I was like well, no.
2. The Gilmore Girls revival used an Across the Universe version of a song in an episode, and I will never be over how wild of a choice that was. I'm sure it was cheaper, but still, huh?
the main characters are named Jude and Lucy lol as if that doesnt tell you everything you need to know about the film
Definitely going to side with Kelsey on this one. The cinematography and interpretation and how it represented a key revolutionary moments in American history is what made this movie for me. I also grew up loving the Beatles and that era of classic rock. Though my favorite band of all time is Queen (they definitely have better harmonies) Beatles still has a high place in music history and its well deserved.
I’m fully convinced anyone who hates this movie just hates joy!
No in my life has ever cared about the beatles (including myself) so when this movie came out i never even heard about it 💀
My hippie 9th grade english teacher showed us this movie in class and it became one of my favorite movies!
I'm actually too annoyed to finish this one. The slanderrrrrrrrr omg
I don’t understand this movie either 😂😂
I'm with Kelsey defending this movie with my dying breath. However I LOVE the Mr. Kite sequence cause Eddie Izzard rules.
As someone who didn't grow up listening to the Beatles, I went into this movie completely blind and it was only about a quarter of the way that I realized they kept playing the Beatles, I have to agree with Garrick that this whole movie is filled with winks to the audience and I didn't get a single one so I just felt so out of the loop and not in on the joke. As an outsider watching this movie, without Beatles music knowledge it was very messy, I gave it a 3/5 because the acting and singing was good. Max was by far the most interesting character but the story overall was meh but I also understand I'm not the audience for it since I didn't get a single reference lol.
Same! All of my friends were super into this movie in high school. When I watched it with them, I didn't get it at all!
DO THIRTEEN!!!!!!!!!!
I watched this movie every day after school for yeaaaaaars. I think it’s so amazing.
Sameeee
This movie was at least 45% of my personality in high school. Never thought I’d see the day when it gets covered on this podcast!
I’m here to formally announce, Zach is wrong. Thank you for your time!
21:00 agree with Garrick! Not everyone knows the Beatles, sorry to say. Just like Zack wouldn’t know a lot of traditional black artist of the time. Plus this movie wasn’t called The Beatles Story or something, it was a reference to a song that not everybody would know, especially if you’re young.
I’M IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE I--
Zach you are wrong.
If we're talking musicals... Phantom of the Opera w/ gerard butler plz 🥺
Guys please fix your spelling error it's on all channels "this iconic Beetles homage." Who the hell are the Beetles
The only bad thing about this podcast (on RUclips) is the lack of visual reference for those curious of what they're talking about - like the rachel wood and westworld thing. Never seen the show but would like a visual ref. Since I'm watching on YT
According to John Lennon himself the song lucy in the sky with diamonds was inspired by a drawing his son made of his friend Lucy. The picture was of lucy floating in the sky surrounded by sparkling jewlery and diamonds.
I haven’t watched this movie so I can’t say if I would like it or not. But I do with that Kelsey would acknowledge that a lot of her enjoyment (at least it seems like it to me) comes from her own nostalgia and history. Which is totally valid, but other people don’t have that to endear them to a film
My dad introduced me to the Beatles too. But my interest peaked when I watched the movie I am Sam. It's so good! And then I watched this movie because of Evan Rachel Wood - and I'm glad I did cause this movie dope af.
one of my fave movies of all time! i didn’t start listening to the beatles until i became obsessed with these versions
okay having finished listening i’m fascinated by the idea of it being necessary to know or like the beatles to enjoy the movie! i don’t think it dampened the experience to miss easter eggs
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
You know what also came out in 2007? Hairspray! And by far the better movie musical that year. I said what I said. Periodd!!
Zach hating this movie is the twist I never expected
I did, he hates everything I love and vice versa.
i love this movie it feels like fanfic but a movie a movie that gives me similar vibes is muriels wedding !!!
Culturally I'd had only a slight bit of exposure and knowledge about the Beatles. Mostly it felt like a classic American thing that I was left out of until I watched this. It helped me feel way more connected with the band, their discography and even our American history from this point of view.
I couldn’t agree more with Zach and Garrick. When there is no storyline and you don’t understand the references there just isn’t a lot for that kind of viewer to get from this movie. If you are a big fan of the Beatles then I could definitely see why you would love it. Or if you love visuals then I could definitely see the appeal. It wasn’t until I heard this episode that I understood the love some people have for it. It’s not to knock it for those who enjoy those things, but for people who don’t know a lot about the Beatles and who look for plot lines over visuals there just isn’t a lot those kinds of people to get out of it.
I think I wanna listen to the full Beatles Discography after this podcast now 😂
I have always said that this movie feels like they took all the most popular Beatles songs and vomited a movie around the songs. They tried to build a story but it just didn't happen
Listening to this episode and all I can think is “TWO AMERICAS” when you guys are discussing Beatles music with how adamant Kelsey is about how great the Beatles are and Garrick being nonchalant about them lol.
I like the Beatles and respect them but my parents were playing Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie and the commodores etc when I was growing up. I had to learn Beatles music on my own bc white people looked at me like I was crazy when I couldn’t spout out song titles and lyrics lol
Fantastic Mr. Fox and surfs up, please please
before i even start, must ask again for you to please do step up 3d!
okay i'm not gonna say this movie is perfect but i'm still siding with Kelsey
I need y'all to do Pirate Radio (2009) now.
Man, I wish I was in the podcast studio for this one…..
Let me tell you…I agree with both Kelsey and Zach. I am a MASSIVE Beatles fan-like Kelsey, the Beatles were very much tied to my identity growing up and were a major connection to my parents. Probably the first indication that I am neurodivergent is how obsessive over every Beatle fact I was as a teenager/young adult. I was also a musical theater major. This movie was basically made for me. And I simultaneously love and hate it.
It all really boils down to Julie Taymor. She deserves the respect, but I have a long-standing opinion that she is an incredible visual storyteller, but a horrible story storyteller. There is no director on stage or film that can construct an image better than her. But when it comes to plot and bringing everything together-she just misses the mark. Just (try to) watch Titus or research the Spider-Man musical. And that’s very strongly what is happening in this movie. The individual numbers-amazing (for the most part). But the plot is both trying to hard and not hard enough at the same time. They are trying to echo the story of the Beatles, summarize major events of the Sixties, and have 3 love stories while also trying to span the whole decade. It’s a mighty task and it falls short. But dang the musical numbers look and sound good and the performances (for the most part) are on point. (I am also a giant Eddie Izzard fan and was very excited that she was in the movie, but…it’s not my favorite part)
Anyhow, I just wanted to share my thoughts because I have very strong opinions and was excited to see them cover this.
Side note- Jude’s character might look a little Paul MacCartneyesque, but his personal story very closely mimics John Lennon’s and what might have happened if he didn’t become part of the greatest band of all time.
Kelsey vs Zack and Garrick, friends off lol
Kelsey keeps getting too excited and arguing against a point Zach isn't making XD I love this pod, just sometimes they all need to take a time out and actively listen to what the other people were actually saying. (Garrick especially never gets to finish his thought haha)
can we just make this Beatles month and do Yesterday
I USED TO LOVE THIS MOVIE
GASPED THE BIGGEST GASP MY FAVE MUSICAL MOVIE KELSEY I'M IN YOUR CORNER!!!
Jim Sturgess is my man if I hear a single peep against him I will fight!
I wonder if Zach and Garrett would enjoy watching the movie "Yesterday" better. It's not a musical but is has Beatles music.
The Beatles' are my favorite band and have been since 10 years old!
I wish yall had done Yesterday!
EVERYONE GO TO SEE BEATLES LOVE CIRQUE NOW!! It's closing next month since the Mirage is closing!!!
Love this movie❤
What I’m hearing is guilty pleasures needs to do a field trip
(Rick , Zach , rainie , Kelsey ) watch the beetles show then talk about it on the pod
I could have SWORN that Zach and Kelsey had opposite view points on this movie lol. The more you know lol
I had to turn this off because Zach is OBJECTIVELY WRONG and it hurts to listen to. team Kelsey 🍓
yeah!!!
PLEASE DO YESTERDAY NEXT 😭😭😭
As a lover of abba, greece, meryl, and musicals… i hate mamma mia and this makes me feel less crazy 🤣
