Their second film is fab and gear! Untitled Peedles, Have No Fear! 2025, what a year! And our final look at “Help!” has arrived! #WeDidntWriteNoPoetry
Tony, T.J., and producer P3Z-Casz put the Finnishing touchers on their “Help!” deep-dish, with a side of extra kvetching, as old, sad, deranged people do. Who doesn’t want to hear that? Are U a fan or not, pal? And, while we’re here, are you a fan of these questions?
📚 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s up late, hoping MeTV will show ONE MORE “Hogan’s Heroes” before sunrise:) “How come Tony thinks he can name so many improv scenes on “The Bear?” Does this jagbag think he’s Del Charna? (#Runaway) And how come Mike Myers never made no movie about Del that I read about in the Reader back when Borders was on Diversy and Clark and Diane ain’t dead?”
🤦♂️ Why didn't T.J. get to his “super important”, underlined note about a “shockingly different” Paul vocal track in the heavily edited “The Night Before” scene? The guys recorded for like six hours, what the hell?
🐴 What about your father’s horse?

The Beatles "Help!" (1965 Film) Part 2
Help! I need somebody once told me the world is filled with Kaili, but some folks call her Kylie instead. (#SmashMinogue)
What does any of this have to do with the “Help!” film? Good point, Buck O(wens); but, then again, what does anything in “Help!” have to do with “Help!”? I mean, the boys are skiing, they’re fighting villains at restaurants, they legit own multiple vending machines… Talk about privilege! #DefundTheBeatles
60 years on, “Help!” presents some of the most iconic scenes and songs in any Beatles-related film not named “Broad Street”. And gentlepeople, this week, Tony & T.J. have got the tapes on “Help!”- specially, the original MPI VHS - and they begin to break down the Fab’s second movie. They also break down emotionally, as they ponder:
🍬 Does P3Z-CASZ represent a dystopian future, or merely a few (legal) edibles?
🐣 (Angry Chicago Guy, after a few Malorts and general sadness because he hasn’t seen Diane since the series finale of “ER”): HOW COME THE LONDON HARRODS DON’T SERVE NO FRIED CHICKEN LIKE THEY DO AT THE HARRODS CHICKEN SHACK ON SOUTH WABASH? AND HOW COME THESE BEATLE BOZOS MAKE SO MANY DUMB JOKES ABOUT REGIONAL CHICKEN RESTAURANTS BUT DON’T GOT THE BALLS TO SOLVE NO BROWNS MURDERS?
🎸T.J. here - real Untitled Beatle Peedles have already streamed “13 GREEN POTATOES”, the new kick-ass album from our very own MENDOZA that just dropped, right? RIGHT? Don’t make P3Z-CASZ find you! (See below for link!)

Hot Beatle News! Anthology 2025 and Power To The People
BIG BREAKING BEATLE NEWS (from like a week ago):
T.J. finally scored Ringo's VH1 Storytellers cassette from Psychic Records in Brooklyn.
Lots to react to, between this development and some business about a new Anthology release and Power to the People box set.
Open up those wallets and get geared up for all the grumps and gripes, as the Gab Two (+ Casey!) give Angry Drunk Chicago Guy a run for his money, with the hard hitting questions like:
💰🔥 WHERE'M I SUPPOSEDA GET 400 BUCKS FOR ANTHOLOGY VINYL WHEN I ALREADY SOLD MY WEDDING RING FOR A MACCA TICKET?
💰🔥 HOW COME THESE APPLE JAGS ARE MAKING ME BUY ANTHOLOGIES 1-3 ALL OVER AGAIN? AND REVOLVER SUPER DELUXE? AND PEPPER SUPER DELUXE? AND WHITE ALBUM SUPER DELUXE? AND ABBEY ROAD SUPER DELUXE? AND LET IT BE SUPER DELUXE?
👿🔥 WHEN'S UNTITLED H.R. GONNA FINALLY STEP IN TO END THE BULLYING CAMPAIGN AGAINST TONY MENDOZA? IF LOVIN' THE SAXOPHONE IS WRONG, MY GUY DON'T WANNA BE RIGHT.
(We'll resume our "Help!" deep dish as soon as we get this out of our system. Thanks for your patience.)

The Beatles "Help!" (1965 Film)
“Help!” It’s the second smash film, from the biggest band in the world, released when Beatlemania was still at its peak. It’s filled with great - and in a few cases, top-tier - Beatles music. Its cast includes well known actors, and the director was an expert in maximizing the boys comedic, personable on-screen talents. It satirizes the burgeoning Bond franchise and, it’s in color! (Take that, Boxing Day 1967 UK airing of “Magical Mystery Tour”)
And yet the question must be asked all these years later: is “Help!” a classic? A great movie? Merely a good one? And in the grand scheme of Beatles excellence, what’s wrong with that?
UBP’s Medved and Maltin (which one’s which??) ask these questions, and also ponder:
☠ Is Poison’s “Every Rose Has Ken Thorne” the most famous power ballad about the “Help!” incidental music composer?
🎿 Are The Skitles Obertauern’s most famous skiing-themed band? No? Cool, go ahead and name a few more, since you seem to know so much about ski-bands from Obertauern. We’ll wait.
🦁 (Angry Chicago Guy): HOW COME MACCA DEEP CUT “ZOO GANG” DIDN’T GET NO LOVE AS THE THEME SONG TO ED ASNER’S SHORT LIVED 1987 NBC DRAMA, “THE BRONX ZOO”? AND HOW COME CBS DIDN’T GIVE MARTIN MULL’S “DOMESTIC LIFE” MORE TIME TO GROW AN AUDIENCE BACK IN ’85? AND HOW COME WOR SUPERSTATION OUT OF NEW YORK DON’T SHOW “DOMESTIC LIFE” NO MORE LATE AT NIGHT AFTER MARTIN MULL DIED AND DIANE STILL AIN’T HOME FROM BOWLING LEAGUE?

All-Star Beatle Batting Orders
WHEW! What a Fest that was! This week, the gents are catching their breath. So join us in the bleachers with a cold one, as we revisit a summertime classic.
-----
Originally released August 13, 2022
It’s obvious that The Beatles first love was music. But their fabbest love was for the American sport of baseball, with its electrifying foul balls, nail-biting bunts, and contemplative rain delays. And that’s why this week, T.J. and Tony have each compiled a major league set of fab tunes to compete against one another in this All-Star Beatle Batting Order Midsommer Classic.
This Week in Untitled Beatles Baseball:
🥁 After a severe brow-beating from Cubs manager Lee Elia, is pinch drummer Jimmie Nicol getting sent down to the minors?
🔮 Did superstitious T.J.’s “8-Track Only” fast cause him to make a crucial Sgt. Pepper fielding error?
🐅 Should Tony "Bullethead" Mendoza have gotten ejected for trying to doctor the “Bungalow Bill”?
Plus another edition of Star’s Search!
