The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

• We Can Work It Out

  It's time for not only a double-A single but in some ways the double-A single. In this case, Andrew and JG are tackling We Can Work It Out first (despite some faffing about). Is it the better of the two songs on the single? Will they both agree on which song is superior? And does the song work on its own terms?   Rankings: Track-by-track Ranking eMail: [email protected] Twitter: @beatles_ology Instagram: beatlesstuffology JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews… Andrew’s Blog: Stuffology   Produced By: JG McQuarrie

• I'm Down

  It's something of a minisode this week, as JG and Andrew plug a(nother) gap by covering I'm Down vastly out of sequence (but hey, at least they remembered!). Does the song work as a straightforward rocker? Is there a cover version that might surpass the original? And do minisodes work (answers to the mailbag please!)? Plus... well, plus nothing actually - it is a minisode!   Rankings: Track-by-track Ranking eMail: [email protected] Twitter: @beatles_ology Instagram: beatlesstuffology JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews… Andrew’s Blog: Stuffology   Produced By: JG McQuarrie

• Help! (Album!)

  We draw our various discussions around Help! to a conclusion as JG and Andrew finally get to tackle the entirety of the actual album itself. Does the album cohere as a single unit despite being half-soundtrack, half-other-stuff? Is it effective as an overall piece of product? And does it really signify a change of eras? Plus we jump into our inbox once again for a little listener correspondence.

• Help! (Movie!)

  We return to movie-land this week as Help! hoves unconvincingly into view. Is the movie a worthy successor to A Hard Day's Night? Is the depiction of race as bad as everyone thinks it is? And, perhaps most importantly, is it actually entertaining in any way?   Rankings: Track-by-track Ranking eMail: [email protected] Twitter: @beatles_ology Instagram: beatlesstuffology JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews… Andrew’s Blog: Stuffology   Produced By: JG McQuarrie

• Yesterday

  With the unquestionable professionalism that everyone has come to expect from this podcast, unfortunately Dizzy Miss Lizzy got posted instead of Yesterday. Entirely JG's fault and he holds his hands up and admits it. Which is nice. So, um, here's Yesterday! Is one of the best-known songs of all time really worthy of that reputation? Is it possible to discuss the song without lapsing into conversations about cover versions? And is it a song that benefits from being covered anyway? Also, we're moving our posting day to Wednesdays now, rather than Saturdays. So now you can enjoy Stuffology during the week!   Rankings: Track-by-track Ranking eMail: [email protected] Twitter: @beatles_ology Instagram: beatlesstuffology JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews… Andrew’s Blog: Stuffology   Produced By: JG McQuarrie
