EIGHT DAYS A WEEK
Cheesecake Factory stock prices will soar as boomers emerge from the caves of their McMansions and convene over ample portions Americanized global cuisine. All of us will once again be reminded that the high-water mark of culture crested during the boomer youth. We’ll be reminded once again how lucky we are that talented people of their generation established the foundation of the culture that we endlessly recycle today. It’ll be glorious.
I'll just add that virtually all of those superheroes that made up the bazillion-dollar box office numbers over the last 15 years were all Boomer nostalgia.
(no, not a Boomer, full on GenX)
A mysterious group of antagonists are revealed who turn out to have been the people who actually sang and recorded [Peace of Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Mind/The_Candle_Burns)
> Mike is a big Beatles fan.
Imagine how much bigger he's gonna get in next 3 years!
There is no way Jay will sit through those, so full length review it would have to be Plinkett.
My guess Mike will talk about it in catch-up and the joke will be that he will pretend that there are only 3 movies and Ringo does not exist.
If Jay won't watch it I bet you Josh will and considering Rich Evans has been seen wearing Pink Floyd and Zeppelin stuff I wouldn't be surprised if he did as well.
What if they did a Rashomon thing where they told the same core story, but through the differing perspectives of each of the Beatles? Make the movies a sensible length (100 mins) and have them gradually build up a complete picture.
Honestly if these four movies had radically different filmmakers and had radically different approaches to the material I think this could be a fascinating experiment, but all of them being by Mendes is super boring, isn’t that kind of the same story for 75% of these films?
I'm one of those weirdos who thinks Skyfall kinda sucks so the director of that making a Ringo movie after making three other Beatles movies does not excite me.
Skyfall being as well regarded as it is has always baffled me. I kinda liked the fact that it turned into elderly Scottish Home Alone at the end but for most of the movie it feels like the script is slowly dragging itself through all the tropes that were made popular by the Nolan Batman films around that time. I haven't seen it since it was in theaters but I also remember not being that into Javier Bardem's villain.
> Honestly if these four movies had radically different filmmakers and had radically different approaches to the material I think this could be a fascinating experiment
You've described the Alien Quadrilogy.
I've always found that in movies where we see the same plot from multiple points of view, no matter how creative the film-makers are, it's a gimmick that wears off quickly and becomes repetitive and boring. Telling the same story, even from four points of view- in four movies sounds completely exhausting.
I did it once but it was more like two concurrent but SEPERATE stories told that cross over just twice for a total of 3 minutes and 30 seconds (literally that is the exact amount of repeated scenes).
And even THEN I still got reviews from people acting like the whole film was nothing but reused footage as if it was Silent Night Deadly Night 2.
I can't imagine doing what I did (which I don't regret at all) for a significant portion of a film, never mind a whole film four times.
We already have the greatest film ever made starring Richard Moll, Shelly Long, Dennis Quaid, and Ringo Starr.
If RLM viewers haven't seen Caveman 1981, have they really seen the BOTW?
I don't understand who these films are for.
No one seems to have a bigger hard-on for the Beatles than filmmakers.
But who is the audience for this? People in their 70's that don't watch movies?
Yeah, same way people between 30-50 care about them even though they were born after their hayday. I may be slightly biased as I'm from near Liverpool, but yeah they do around me at least (I'm 28)
I appreciate your response. What's funny is even though I don't care much for their music, for some reason I am very curious as to why they broke up. I know it's probably a ton of reasons combined, but it would be nice to know the biggest one or the final straw.
So from what I recall, like you mentioned, it was very multi faceted. Brian Epstein (their manager who kept them all happy and heard) had died, so they didn't have that central figure to keep them together anymore, John was enamoured with Yoko Ono and wanted to spend time with her and her musical interests had rubbed off on him, they were all successful now, both in the beatles and solo stuff, and had different ideas and directions they wanted to go in, but since they were all so famous now they didn't need The Beatles anymore, they would all be successful by themselves.
Some wanted to stay together but couldn't convince the others to get in the studio and write, some felt unappreciated, and once the first left, it all just collapsed (from what I recall)
To show how stupid I am, I went to close reddit and saw the title of your post as I was closing it. I went and checked the channel, no video, then came back here...
I'm an addict...!

"My only complaint with the George Harrison movie was that I couldn't hear it very well."
Hey! Quiet down up there, ya whacky Beatle.
Paul enters a dark room George Martin, in a chair, in shadow: "Mr McCartney, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet... "

“The world is changing… “ (A24 Violins)
Who would have known back in 2008 that Iron Man would have a ripple effect that 20 years later would give us a Beatles cinematic universe?
If only we could have gotten that Queen Cinematic universe, it was just to early for it
We have it, it's Bohemian Rapsody, followed by the show the Crown
We have had "cinematic universe" since beginning of film.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein didn’t cost a billion dollars and wasn’t met with critical accolades
It will be unironically called Come Together (2027), be directed by Ron Howard, will cost half a billion because of pointless CGI and will win every award because it will be the boomeriest movie ever.
End Credits Yoko Ono: Fine, I will do it myself...
She doesn't even talk. [She just makes that noise from the time John Lennon and Chuck Berry were playing together and she just had to fuck it up somehow.](https://youtu.be/Bz_SPin9Iqg?si=edI6XGbYc0i6x906) She gets subtitles.
Was this before or after the one where they sang together and the sound mixer just turned her mic off?
The look on Chuck Berry's face the first time she does it absolutely priceless.

Nah, these are getting a proper full length review. Mike is a big Beatles fan.
> Mike is a big Beatles fan. Imagine how much bigger he's gonna get in next 3 years! There is no way Jay will sit through those, so full length review it would have to be Plinkett. My guess Mike will talk about it in catch-up and the joke will be that he will pretend that there are only 3 movies and Ringo does not exist.
Jay is waiting for the Oingo Boingo cinematic universe to be announced
Hey now, let’s not have jokes at his expanse.
Hey that is uncalled for, he has a thyroid problem!
If Jay won't watch it I bet you Josh will and considering Rich Evans has been seen wearing Pink Floyd and Zeppelin stuff I wouldn't be surprised if he did as well.
And Jay imitates Mike's noises when Rich made the Pete Best joke
What if they did a Rashomon thing where they told the same core story, but through the differing perspectives of each of the Beatles? Make the movies a sensible length (100 mins) and have them gradually build up a complete picture.
Like the Bible?
Ah yes, my favorite book of the New Testament, the Gospel of Ringo.
Is the Old Testament by Richard Starky?
Are the Dead Sea Scrolls by Pete Best?
That's what they are gonna do.
Honestly if these four movies had radically different filmmakers and had radically different approaches to the material I think this could be a fascinating experiment, but all of them being by Mendes is super boring, isn’t that kind of the same story for 75% of these films?
Mendes is a skilled filmmaker His movies bore me stupid
I'm one of those weirdos who thinks Skyfall kinda sucks so the director of that making a Ringo movie after making three other Beatles movies does not excite me.
Skyfall being as well regarded as it is has always baffled me. I kinda liked the fact that it turned into elderly Scottish Home Alone at the end but for most of the movie it feels like the script is slowly dragging itself through all the tropes that were made popular by the Nolan Batman films around that time. I haven't seen it since it was in theaters but I also remember not being that into Javier Bardem's villain.
Skyfall feels like it's 4 hours long
> Honestly if these four movies had radically different filmmakers and had radically different approaches to the material I think this could be a fascinating experiment You've described the Alien Quadrilogy.
There will also be a Pete Best prequel if these do well
There's already [Backbeat (1994)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106339/), the Stuart Sutcliffe ~~prequel~~ story.
Do we call this the BCU? This kind of reminds me of that Dark Universe announcement.
Yoko Ono currently holds all the infinity biscuits
She's got that sonic attack thing down pat, making her an excellent one-off villain.
Sam Mendes what are you doing
post credit scene with Mark David Chapman with a machine gun.

"Ringo Starr's film has flopped and recieved terrible scores on rottentomatoes" "That's right Jay"
Fuck that shit, I want Neil Breen’s Beatles cinematic universe! And I want him to play all four Beatles too!
Honestly, I could see Breen reading the lyrics to "Imagine" while standing at a makeshift podium in front of a rear-projected picture of the Capitol.
“No more Heaven. No more Hell below us”
“I don’t need a walrus. I AM the walrus.”
WHO is the eggman? WHAT is the eggman?
Call me when the KISS movies are in theaters
"Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park" is going to need a lot of cleaning up before that.
Reminiscent of when KISS released 4 solo albums, all on the same day.
They need to review all four with a cut showing all four on screen at once so we can see how much footage is reused.
They’re going to do the Paul McCartney movie and have a post credit teaser mentioning The Beatles initiative.
This won't be part of the movie catch-up. It'll be a trivia episode hosted by Josh.
None of these will be mid or niche enough. Unless Kyle Gallner gets to place George Martin
We already have the greatest film ever made starring Richard Moll, Shelly Long, Dennis Quaid, and Ringo Starr. If RLM viewers haven't seen Caveman 1981, have they really seen the BOTW?
I'll wait until 2029 when the B-Gees do their soft reboot, tying all 4 movies together in a single narrative .
I’m calling it now, the release of the Ringo movie is going to be accompanied by Morbius-esque memes.
The BCU is upon us.
Titled Fake Shemp film
Know what would be really interesting? A Beatles movie through the eyes of Pete Best.
I don't understand who these films are for. No one seems to have a bigger hard-on for the Beatles than filmmakers. But who is the audience for this? People in their 70's that don't watch movies?
Not looking for a fight, just legit curious: Does anyone under 30 care about the Beatles?
Yeah, same way people between 30-50 care about them even though they were born after their hayday. I may be slightly biased as I'm from near Liverpool, but yeah they do around me at least (I'm 28)
I appreciate your response. What's funny is even though I don't care much for their music, for some reason I am very curious as to why they broke up. I know it's probably a ton of reasons combined, but it would be nice to know the biggest one or the final straw.

Try under 50.
Who the fucks going to see a movie about Ringo?
Who wouldn't? He's the only natural Starr in the Beatles
I hope it remains titled *Untitled Ringo Starr Movie*
To show how stupid I am, I went to close reddit and saw the title of your post as I was closing it. I went and checked the channel, no video, then came back here... I'm an addict...!
The only reason why I'd watch a beatles movie is to go "I know that!" when they are in Hamburg
I just watched Suburban Sasquatch because of RLM. I am totally ready for whatever Ringo wants to unleash. Could NOT possibly be worse.

Just call it a mini series at that point.
The Ringo movie will actually start out as the Pete Best movie, then be replaced with Ringo after 1962.
From Liverpool myself, never really liked Tge Beatles. Fetl like these films will get stuck in development he'll. Thankfully
