050 - The Beatles - The End?

11/07/23 • 27 min

Is it really the end? Did we like the final Beatles product?

And what's more, did we ever think Monty Python was funny? Is comedy in some cases more about a sense of unity with like-minded fans, rather than actual laughs? We try to put these thorny issues to bed.

In other news, we trail All The Light We Cannot See, the dramatisation of Anthony Doerr's acclaimed novel, and the police procedural Shetland, now up to season 8.
Tommy Emmanuel will tour NZ and ElTele will be there.
We're both slightly baffled by TikTok train spotter Francis Bourgeois.

And will New Zealanders appreciate Mortimer and Whitehouse going fishing on primetime TV?

051 - Stop Making Sense

Some people might say it's time we started making sense! We've both been to see the remastered Talking Heads concert movie - hear the verdict - and we've also been impressed by the new album from Paul Cook and the Chronicles.
ElTele has completed an untypical rock biography and we talk about the life of the musician who wrote it.
We wrestle with the Morrissey conundrum once again, and wonder if University Challenge is getting easier.

T Shirt of the Week begins (should we be even wearing T shirts at our age?), The Captain has opinions on Squid Game The Challenge, and we are staggered by the price of tickets to see an American comedy legend. How much?!
