Kathleen and Ryan talk to Dan Tebo (VHS of the Week) about Backbeat, the 1994 film about the Beatles' early years in Hamburg. We discuss the cultural landscape of early 60s Hamburg, Stuart Sutcliffe's (questionable?) legacy as a painter, Sheyl Lee's heavy eyelids, and wonder what the point is of dramatizing a very undramatic bandmate departure. Oh, here's the live performance by the Gen-X dream team Backbeat studio band (Dave Grohl, Mike Mills, Thurston Moore, etc). You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
