Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles
Friends from the Los Angeles comedy scene discuss the Beatles, an album at a time. We have no reason to, nor any special qualifications. We just want to because we're obsessed with the band, like any rational human. TOPICS INCLUDE: Reasons we love them! Stories we've read! Opinions we hold! Excitement we cannot contain! THE BEATLES!

What would you put on your Beatles best-of if you couldn't use any of their hits? That's the challenge the panel does in this episode.
We each complied a "deep cut" Beatles best-of. These were our rules:
- Nothing that was on the "red" (1962-1966) or "blue" (1967-1970) albums, including the 2023 expanded versions.
- Nothing that was on the Beatles "1" compilation.
- Nothing that was on the "Past Masters" collections.

Our tribute episode to Brian Wilson, the leader of the Beach Boys, who died on June 11, 2025.
We talk briefly , in our usual "mostly informed" way, about the relationship and influence between the Beatles and the Beach Boys. We talk in general about the incredibly transformation the Beach Boys' music went through over time. We talk about Brian's mental health struggles.
And then we take turns sharing a bunch of great Beach Boys so...
Let It Be came out in May 1970. In honor of its anniversary we look at Paul McCartney's version (basically) -- Let It Be... Naked. This is a version of the Let It Be album with much of producer Phil Spector's production removed. There's a different sequence of songs, different songs included and left off and very different production.
It's a really fun listen!

The panel takes a look at George Harrison's 1973 album Living In The Material World. Our reason is that a re-release came out last year (2024) and we've been meaning to examine it. But also we are sometimes big dummies who haven't given things a proper listen and it was just long overdue for us to give this a proper listen.
Hey, guess what? It's good.
It's listed on Wikipedia as his 4th solo album but that's because they are counti...
The panel goes over Look Up, the 21st studio album from Ringo Starr. Largely written and produced by T-Bone Burnett, this album features a bit more of a country flavor, though still unmistakably Ringo, maybe because he's one of the most famous people on the planet.
We like this album because we like Ringo, and it's a pleasure to spend time with his voice. We go over positive and negative reviews for the album. We talk about the phe...
A new Bob Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown" starring Timothy Chalamet, directed by James Mangold has been in theaters. The panel took this chance to spend an episode talking about Bobby D.
We don't know his music nearly as well as we do the Beatles. But we are fans. So we just took turns picking songs and talking about them.
Here's the songs we discuss in this episode:
Visions of Johanna
Billy 1
Ring Them Bells
I Want You
Murder ...

Okay we go a bit crazy and spend over 2 hours talking about the new release of John Lennon's 1973 solo album Mind Games.
But it's understandable! First we had to talk about Mind Games in general -- how he and Yoko broke up as he started recording, the incredible session band (assembled by May Pang -- who became his girlfriend, as 'assigned' by Yok...

Beatlesque songs. Or is it Beatles-esque? We say it both ways in our traditional not-quite-sure-we're-right style!
But the point is we bring songs to the table that have reminded us of Beatles songs. There are so many ways this can happen! Sometimes it's the harmonies, sometimes the arrangement, other times the quality of the vocal. Sometimes it's...
