Ep. 169 | INSTANT REACTIONS: "Let It Be" Restored and Re-Released (1970 / 2024)
As Apple (and Etta James) promised, "At Last"; the original cut of "Let It Be" is available! Only streaming, no LaserDisc, you wackers Radio Shackers.
Speaking of LASIK, Apple's marketing team would have you believe the last time this film was seen was "54 years ago today". #WhenIm64Minus12Plus2
In reality, the last time this core, historically vital film was available was in 1981, but it struggled to compete with season 2 of "Bosom Buddies" and quickly fell out of print.
Tony and T.J., who played John and Paul in VH1's "Two Of Us", instantly react to the greatest this film has ever looked or sounded, and also, dig these ponies:
🦠 Does “Microbes”, from a forgotten/bad George album we all obligatorily own, make more sense on $40 Zoetrope vinyl?
💊 When Mal Evans plays the anvil, does George Martin take some Advil?
👮♂️👮♂️(Our sad, drunk Chicago friend, at the bar. It's 11:05 am in Bridgeport) "How come woke Michael Lindsey Boss Hogg didn't make the Beatles play the Benny Hill theme when the cops came in? And why don't Hawk Harrelson do games no more on SportsChannel?"
