Blotto Beatles

It's our 100th episode! We celebrate with a call from our attorney, a discussion of the Beatles casting, the first installment of our Beatles Actor Book Club series, more conversation about face filler than we thought possible, curiosities about Lennon's legacy across generations, and a look back through the years of Bloto Beatles. All the while we are joined by our incredible guest Sophie C. who brought a banger of a track with "Don't Let Me Down." As always, you can find Team B...

Do you like cease and desist letters from Paul McCartney dramatically read by Canadians? Then you've come to the right place. After that, episode 98 kicks off in earnest with a discussion o which Beatle would be the best to go on a road trip with, a little more Anthology reflection, Andrew Dice Clay and Mitch Hedburg talking Beatles, and a big Beatles track with our new friend, actor and musician Andrew Gower, who maybe turns us around on the Phil Spector produced, The Long and Wi...

We had to start in the way all of the Beatlesphere is this week, with a reflection on the release of Beatles Anthology 2025. Once we express our feelings on that, we transition into our episode proper and cover rock bands with two lives, our Beatles themed tombstones, some Paul love, some Jeff Tweedy love, mixed feeling on James McCartney, and the Beatles Beverly Hills phase. From there we are joined by our favorite neighbor from the North, Ethan Alexanian, to discuss a little mor...

Tommy starts by telling the other Blottos about the secret side project he's been working on. From there we do some great Foley work before bringing back fan favorite Sam Whiles to discuss our feelings on the revisited Beatles Anthology, Sam's personal project of making a McCartney-only Beatles Anthology, the story of a friend who encountered Mark David Chapman, our new show pitch "Mark David Chat, Man," seasonal Beatles, Ringo's art show, Ringo's charity to support charitable organizat...

The Blottos are back, and we don't miss a beat as we tackle a bevy of topics such as the long lost Rubber Soul movie, the importance of the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, It's a Paul World After All, the Scar Tissue audio book, the potential of seeing Paul in the Hamptons, the state of movie theaters, Modeloritas, and the Epstein files. Finally, we turn up the volume as we discuss the George non-banger "I Need You." As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatle...

Have you ever wondered what it's like behind the curtain of a Blotto Beatles recording session? This intro peels it all back for a look into how the sausage is made. We really get down to business after that as we....take an episode we recorded for Ranking the Beatles and put it up on our feed. With that, we have our usual fun as we are joined by one of our original pod pals in Jonathan Pretus of Ranking the Beatles to discuss if Tommy's impression is more Leno or Tyson, Rin...

The Beatles changed the world with three simple words: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah—and we’re here to overthink (and over-drink) every last one of them. This week, we take a deep dive into She Loves You with James Campion, author of Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude. We discuss everything from Paul’s dad’s questionable lyrical edits to the harmonic genius behind this early Beatles barnburner. Plus, we take a few detours into dramatic readings, home decor philosophies, and the eternal qu...

It was a singular joy to close out the year in episode 85 with Tom Hunyady and Andy Nicholes of the 2Legs podcast as we discussed the McCartney '71 tapes, some real moments of what this work means to us when other things feel upside down, a State of the Blotto Union, The George RR Martins of New England, New Year's Blotto Resolutions (including Stamos), why mistakes happen on the list, the Blotto Mono Box Set, couples counseling for podcast hosts, the mandatory Thanksgiving/Last Waltz chat, t...

After a call from our attorney, we get right to business recording an intro in arrears as we discuss if fun size is that fun, if king's size being renamed sharing size is just making it shaming size, the ranking the Mr. songs feedback, the introduction of our singer/songwriter stalwart of a guest in Martin Sexton, recreating the entirety of Abbey Road with only an acoustic guitar, and a song that is actually about the Queen in "Her Majesty." As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on In...

We return from a brief hiatus with the scholarly work you know and love....and then we hit a couple of early Magical Mystery Words. From there we go heavy banter as we discuss George Clinton, summer vacations, our own review of our own list correction episode, Slane's refusal to be our official whiskey, Tommy visiting Slane Castle to formally request a sponsorship, what we would do if nominated for a Poddy, Becker only listening to songs that give him specific instructions for life, the...
