Writer and podcaster Rob Rousseau joins me from Montreal to discuss Peter Jackson’s new epic-length documentary about those four mop-topped Lads from Liverpool.

The Beatles: Get Back draws from the raw material collected in 1969 by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg for his 1970 documentary Let It Be. More than just a documentary about the Beatles, Get Back is more importantly a film about the process of artistic expression and collaboration that also offers a detailed reconsideration of the official myths and legends about the final days of the band.

Rob and I also discuss Smooth Ringo, Checked Out John, Handsome Paul and George’s amazing fits.
