Episode 214: Put Them In the Movies -- ”The Rutles!”
In this episode, after many years of listener requests, we finally discuss The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, the famous 1978 Beatles spoof film that combines elements of Monty Python and Saturday Night Live! We talk about the film's background, the stars, the plot, the famous cameos, and so much more. What will Dave and Chris think of the film? How does it hold up?  We also talk about the announcement of Ringo's three upcoming EPs as well. Enjoy! Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 213: Making a Beatles 1973 ”Reunion” album!
What would've happened if the Beatles reunited to make an album in 1973 based on the four albums recorded that year? We draw from Mind Games, Band on the Run, Living in the Material World, and Ringo to compile a 12-track album that we think would be even better if all four Beatles played and contributed to the songs. Chris and Dave both had different approaches to their album construction, but they both work well as listens. If only that had happened... Dave's album: Band on the Run, Jet, Photograph, Out The Blue, Don't Let Me Wait Too Long, I'm The Greatest, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth), Mind Games, Bluebird, Bring on the Lucie (Freeda People), Who Can See It, and 1985. Chris's album: I'm the Greatest, Band on the Run, Sue You Sue Me Blues, Mind Games, Photograph, Let Me Roll It, One Day at a Time, Give Me Love, Bluebird, Be Here Now, I Know I Know, 1985 Enjoy!

Episode 212: Songs under the Microscope, Vol. 27: Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, ”The Girl is Mine”
In an I've Got A Beatles Podcast first, we examine a song that wasn't written by a Beatle nor appeared on a Beatles or solo album -- but it features Paul McCartney prominently! In this episode, we discuss Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's duet "The Girl is Mine" from 1982's Thriller album. What do we think about the lyrics ("doggone girl??") and music? How did the song come about and what's going on at the end of the song? Are there any covers of the song? Check out the episode and let us know what you think. We also review the latest Record Store Day. Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 211: Ranking the Beatles Album Cover Art!
In this episode we rank the 13 "canonic" Beatles albums on the basis of their cover artwork. Which ones do we think are the most interesting conceptually? How about the most creative? Do the covers tell us anything about the music on the album?  We're sure that you will both agree and disagree with us, so leave us your opinion at any of our contact options below! Enjoy!

Episode 210: 25 Years of Ringo’s ”Vertical Man!”
It's time for another one of our patented Ringo album reviews! This time it's his 1998 album Vertical Man, the first album he worked on with Mark Hudson. As is typical for Ringo albums, there are some great songs featuring Ringo's old band mates, as well as some filler, and a whole lot of background singers! We also discuss some potentially-interesting George Harrison news.  Enjoy! Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 209: ”Put Them In The Movies”and ”Classic Beatles Gig”: The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus
In this episode, Dave and Chris kill two birds with one stone in this twofer episode combining a Beatle appearance in a film that happens to be a famous gig! What was the Rock and Roll Circus, held in 1968? What did John Lennon do at this event? Who were his bandmates? What other groups played at this event? How many of those groups were lip-synching? And why is Chris unhappy Allen Klein was involved?  After we discuss the Circus, we cover some recent current events in the Beatles world, including Paul's upcoming coffee table book, record store day releases, and more.

Episode 203: Put Them In The Movies, ”How I Won The War”
Many people know about Richard Lester's 1967 movie How I Won The War that starred Michael Crawford (the future "Phantom of the Opera") and John Lennon, but most haven't seen it. It's most famous because of Lennon, of course. But Dave and Chris have now seen it and share their review of the movie. Is it worth seeing? How is John Lennon as an actor? Why is the movie so hard to find? (maybe there's a good reason?) How does it hold up today? Let us know what you think! If you want to watch the movie, you can do so here: https://archive.org/details/3_20191230/5.m4v An interesting review by movie critic Roger Ebert: How I Won the War movie review (1968) - Roger Eberthttps://www.rogerebert.com › reviews › how-i-won-the...   Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 199: Songs under the Microscope, Vol. 25- ”Any Road” by George Harrison...plus an Epic Rant!
In this episode, we go back into the lab and dissect George Harrison's song, "Any Road" from his posthumous 2002 album Brainwashed. How does the song stack up in George's catalog, what's interesting about the music and lyrics, and can Chris find any covers of note? Following our discussion of "Any Road," Chris launches into an epic rant about the latest McCartney release (the McCartney I,II, III box set) and why the McCartney camp doesn't seem to be listening to what fans actually want.

Episode 198: An Updated Beatles Wish List!
In Episode 118 from 2018, we gave our wish list for Beatles/solo Beatles releases we hoped for most. Some of them did happen (e.g., John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band box set) but many others didn't. So what do we think four years later?

Episode 197: The 1975 John Lennon Compilation ”Shaved Fish”
In Episode 90 ("Compilation Compilation") we discussed all the different compilations for each Beatle, including all the John Lennon collections up until 2016 (we didn't have Gimme Some Truth yet). We mentioned 1975's Shaved Fish, but didn't give it much thought since it left out all of John's later music. This episode digs deep into the only "greatest hits" album released in Lennon's lifetime. How did John do choosing his best-of?   Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 196: A Hypothetical 1967 Beatles Set List!
In this episode, Dave and Chris challenged themselves to come up with a hypothetical early 1967 setlist of songs from albums (or unreleased tunes) that the Beatles never performed live on their tours from 1963-66. We selected some tunes from the familiar to the obscure, and put together a list of fun songs we wish the Beatles had played. What do you think? What songs do you wish they'd played? We also weigh in on the "Got Back" setlist and Paul McCartney touring today. Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.

Episode 195: Review of ”Wings At The Speed of Sound!”
We go back to 1976 for a review of Wings At The Speed of Sound, the album that propelled Wings's 1976 tour across America. This was intended to be a democratic effort where each member of the group sang a lead vocal, and it was supported by two big hit songs, "Let 'Em In" and "Silly Love Songs." How does the album hold up now? Check out the episode to hear our thoughts.   Complete episodes can be found at https://ivegotabeatlespodcast.podbean.com.
