  • Top Beatles film natter

    Ed and Matt are really easy to listen to. I like that they don't always agree, and are happy to do so, without being affectedly opposed. They clearly love The Fab Four which is obvious from listening to them. A nice line in humour throughout, but not at the expense of analysis. A really excellent addition to the Beatles podcast collection. Can't wait for new episodes to drop, highly recommended.

  • Great pod angle on the Fabs

    I’ve just discovered the pod and really enjoying working my way through the episodes.

    There are so many Beatle podcasts out there and it’s great to hear one with a different angle - exploring the Beatle and solo Beatle films and documentaries.

    The episodes are well researched and structured and the conversation flows easily. Looking forward to hearing more!
