Social Media's Favourite Christmas Movies - Episode 299

 


We polled people on our social media and asked them to give us their favourite Christmas films so we could make an episode of our podcast about them and here we have done just that! Some surprises in this years polls, some old films resurface as favourites and some newly released ones race up there too. Personally, the classics can never be topped I think.

What say ye all?

Tell us what you think is the weirdest tourist attraction in your country?

So here it is! Our final part of our conversation about the Peter Jackson 'Get Back' documentary starring the Beatles. We cannot stress enough how utterly fantastic this documentary is and how it has changed a whole way of thinking about this period of Beatles history. To the casual fan who enjoys their music, this documentary may be too deep of a dive for them, but to the absolute hardcore fan, this is manna from heaven!

What would you like to see next from the Beatles archives?

We are back after a month long hiatus and we really appreciate all of you sticking with us while we were gone! Thank you! This new episode is about the recently released Get Back Documentary chronicling the Beatles in the month of January 1969, which has been an early Christmas present for us Beatles fans. Spanning 9 hours across 3 parts, Peter Jackson has made an honest and heartfelt film out of 60 hours of footage of the band, telling the story of how it actually happened.

Were you surprised by the Get Back Documentary?
