For this month, we are re-releasing an older episode when we first went over Revolver. It was originally released in Feb 2017.  It's currently behind a subscriber wall, as is our full catalog. To get access, you can subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com. Or you can just enjoy this episode right here! Below is the original description: ------------ After doing one of the best albums of all time with Rubber Soul, the Beatles follow with yet ANOTHER one of the best albums of all time: Revolver. The songwriting quality is just as high, and now they're pushing the boundaries of their style more than ever. Orchestral backing with "Eleanor Rigby," trippy free-flowing songs like "She Said She Said," the funky fuzz bass of George's "Taxman," the backing horns for "Got to Get You Into My Life" and of course the most experimental track they've done yet: "Tomorrow Never Knows." Panelists: Will Hines, Joel Spence, Brett Morris, Heather Woodward. ------------------ Email us at [email protected] Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com to support the show and for bonus episodes.

It's a two person panel this week with Joel and Will! Katie and Brett will be back! We review Ringo Starr's new country-ish album Long Long Road, which is sort of volume II to last year's Look Up.  Same producer and songwriting team (mostly T-Bone Burnett), Molly Tuttle is back and a few other stars harmonizers (St. Vincent, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings).  Will and Joel make it clear that they have sincere love for Ringo. But they also accidentally give the worst "pull quote" reviews for this album you could, like "These are melodies you could teach to a chid or a senior center ... five stars." Does adding five stars make it polite?? ------------------ Email us at [email protected] Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com to support the show and for bonus episodes.

  The panel reviews and discusses last year's hit Beatle book John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs, by Ian Leslie. We loved this book. For those who haven't read it, it's a "biography of a relationship" - telling the story of John and Paul's partnership through their songs. Each chapter is named after a song which means even the table of contents tells a story.  For the casual fan, this book is a pretty thorough summary of all the major events of their lives. For the Beatles experts, Ian underlines facts you might not have noticed (John and Paul both use "I" even when they trade lead vocal on "A Hard Day's Night", the album Rubber Soul took just 14 days of studio time to record?) as well as thoughtful connections you might not have considered (You can see "Tommorrow Never Knows" as an answer to "Yesterday").  His description of the songs themselves captures what it feels like to listen to them. He rightfully points out that any Beatles fan has listened to "Hey Jude" so many times it's ironically tough to ACTUALLY hear. They he describes the gradual build of the song that it pops into your head, fresh for the first time in years! It's a best seller so many of you will have read it. If not, we think you'll love it if you do.Panelists: Will Hines, Brett Morris, Katie Plattner, Joel Spence ------------------ Email us at [email protected] Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com to support the show and for bonus episodes.

This weekend (March 27 and 28, 2026), Sir Paul McCartney and his band did an "intimate" concert for just 1000 people in Los Angeles, at the Fonda Theater. 3/4 of the panel was there, so we did this episode to discuss it! Will, Joel and Brett share their memories, while Katie is here to help us describe things and do her best to contain her seething jealousy!  Joining us is special guest Scott Aukerman! You know Scott from Comedy Bang-Bang and a million other cool comedy projects. But he's also an avid music fan and LA concert-goer. He's also the reason Brett was able to see the show!  We dive DEEP on the details of entering the lottery, buying the tickets, the sound check, the show itself, the other guests in attendence, what happened on Saturday night which we did not see, and much more.  For a diehard Beatles fan, seeing Paul in concert is an insanely happy experience. The show was great, and we're excited to talk about it!

We cover the new Paul McCartney documentary MAN ON THE RUN, out on Amazon Prime, which covers the Wings part of Paul's post Beatles era.  Among other things, we hear Paul's motivations behind founding Wings, the emotional struggles after the end of the Beatles, thoughts about John's angry statements about Paul, his marriage to and relationship with Linda, musical decisions of many of his best known songs, his reaction to John's death and more. Overall it's a compassionate look that's surprisingly honest, given that Paul is an executive producer. The panel largely wanted more depth, but also enjoy what's here. In our "I Read The News Today Oh Boy" segment, we discuss Peter Jackson's statement that there is footage of the White Album being recorded, and Paul's upcoming "intimate" concerts in Los Angeles.
