Ep. 275 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9 Part 2
The Untitled Beatles Podcast has done it!
We are Free As A Bird from Disney’s Beatles Anthology!
There were moments of Real Love; Now And Then. But would the new Episode 9, comprised largely from the 2003 Special Features DVD, provide some Hope Of Deliverance? Would the new episode finally bring T.J. Off The Ground? Is Producer Casey Looking for Changes in how it’s edited? Does Tony simply want Peace in the Neighbourhood, allowing us to enjoy the old and the new? Also, what’s with all these “Off The Ground” references, did this week’s randomly selected writer run out of ideas? WTF, now I Owe It All To You, to explain? Nah, son - Get Out Of My Way. This one’s called Biker Like An Icon, you Golden Earth Girl, female animal.
So, uh, yeah; do join us as we conclude our deep dish of Episode 9 and also ask:
☕ Did Mal Evans put copies of Elvis Costello’s “Spike” in the English tea of EMI engineers?
🌷 Does the Untitled Beatles Podcast exist without Gus, the Tufts band who later changed their name to Guster, and gave us one of 2003’s greatest hits, “Amsterdam”?
🍻 (Angry Drunk Chicago Guy, he’s super horngry): “How come Chicago ain’t got no improv pizza animatronic kids theater called 'Showbitz Pizza'? And how come I can’t legally be near kids no more since I pee’d on that family at Comiskey?"

Ep. 274 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9
Since it’s a holiday weekend, this episode’s blurb was written by A.I. (American Intelligents)
Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! And hey America, what better way to celebrate than with an American podcast about the world’s most famous American group, The Beatles!!
We salute these Beatles American hometowns:
John - Menlove Ave, New York City
Paul - Forthlin Drive, Carolina Shores, NC
George - Wavertree Hall Farm, Virginia
Ringo - Dingle, Idaho
And since The Beatles have been #1 in America’s heart since 1776, scientific statisticians - using recent census figures combined with ATV sales and the market price of halibut - have proven that 9 is truly a magical number.
Por ejemplo:
9x4=36
There are 4 Beatles but really there are 36!
So this week the Untitled Beatles Codpiece performs as a throuple (T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey), discussing the 90s era Threetles (9-3=3) in their critique of Disney+ (in association with Good Times Video)’s Beatles Anthology Episode 9. Is it truly worthy of a Revolution?
Hork down a hot dog sandwich in a muenster truck while hurling a beanball at your Mom! It’s American Independence Day served Beatles-style, made possible only by Calderstone Imperial Musical Enterprises Incorporated. Because the Red Album, White Album and Blue Album = Now and Then Forever. 🌭🧨🚒

Ep. 270 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 8
What’s the worst decision in Beatles history? Some might say it’s John’s “bigger than Jesus” remark, or letting “Magical Mystery Tour” air in black & white on the BBC. And yet, as decided by the good folks at Disney+/Apple/Calderstone/Zaappderstone, it would appear that the single most egregious moment in Fab history is the original “Beatles Anthology 8” runtime: 81 minutes. 81 minutes? IN THIS ECONOMY?
Fortunately (sfx: buzzer) much like labor laws, voting rights, and pride in this once great nation, Disney's "Beatles Anthology 8" has been drastically reduced. What’s survived is typically stunning both visually and musically, plus a few new (in some cases, literally) interviews are a bonus. But what else can this episode teach us about life?
🐺 Could this episode even survive without the topical/relevant drop, “T-Bone”, from the James Taylor 1988 offering, “Never Die Young”?
🍔 If Fat Mattress is the best of the ATCO roster of bands, is Mat Fattress ACTO’s biggest act?
🚔 Do the edits in this episode threaten the long discussed “Sgt. Pilcher’s Horny Cops Club Band” fundraising calendar featuring hot, corrupt global police officers of the past?

Ep. 269 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 7
Greetings, Untitled Beatle Peedles! It’s a big weekend in Fab History, as arguably the most important link to the Beatles music and ethos just debuted a new release. And it’s all BeatleWorld is talking about.
That’s right, the Untitled Beatles Podcast has finally dropped their deep dish of “Disney+ Presents: The Beatles Anthology 7 (Only Make It Shorter)”. This episode covers a seminal year in Beatles lore. And if you’ve ever watched the original Anthology and thought, “Hmm, cancel the Apple Boutique, it’s too woke!”, then this edit is for YOU!
Tony and T.J. have loved the Beatles for an alarming number of decades, so do you think they’ll finally bring some joy to the Disney Anthology experience? As they said before network TV died (#CBS callback), “stay tuned and find out”. Because they also ask:
🐝 Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: “How come they didn’t replace no Greece footage with that Ringo song from Greece 2 about teenage kids gettin’ each other knocked up? Diane plowed my ficus after league night at Marigold Bowl back in ’79 and we had some kid I don’t see no more? Carl? Gary?”
🕉 In the revised edition of William J. Dowling’s Beatlesongs, should Macca get a .04 songwriting credit for “Dehra Dun”?
🏴☠️ Pick A Raider: Ringo or Tim Brown? And does this force you to finally confront your racial biases?

Ep. 264 | Give My Regards to Broad Street (Film Review) | Replay!
It was five years ago today
When Teej and Tony told their friends to play
A VHS that T.J. had around
With its super warbly 80s sound
So may we introduce to you
The film you’ve loved for all these years:
Paul McCartney’s “Give My Regards to Broad Street”
-----
Originally aired April 17, 2021
At long last, T.J. and Tony review Sir Paul's magnum opus: Give My Regards to Broad Street. Starring and written by Paul McCartney, the 1984 movie was panned by critics and audiences alike, but brought us some of Paul's best music of the decade ("No More Lonely Nights"), and some of his worst remakes of his best music from decades past (lookin' at you, "Long and Winding Road").
This long and rambling podcast leads to all the usual goofs and giggles, and—as far as we're able to ascertain—what we believe to be the first reference to the theme music from NBC's "The Days & Nights of Molly Dodd" in podcasting history. And what movie review is complete without also covering the Commodore 64 video game adaptation?
Movie viewing recommended (you might be able to find it on YouTube), but certainly not required. Good times guaranteed either way, or your money back.

Ep. 257 | Anthology 2025 Episode 6
Some say the “Sgt. Pepper”, post-touring era is the peak of The Beatles recorded music. Others prefer Korn.
For those who are slightly more into The Beatles, Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey deep dish Episode 6 of “The Beatles Anthology”. This has always been one of the most fertile and astonishing chapters in Beatles history, but we can all be thankful that Disney truncated it by 15 minutes for those of us in a rush. Beep beep, toot toot, no time for the “For No One” bridge, damn it!
And, sure! The UBP3zteetles (you try it, tough guy) talk “Anthology” 6 in great detail, but still find time to probe the throbbing questions, like:
🏛️ Why exactly is Dhani keeping George Harrison & Yanni’s legendary collab at the Acropolis unreleased?
🍇 Ray Charles is a true all-time legend. Is his singin’ raisin doppelgänger even better?
♟️ Do most non-poseur Beatles fans think “One Night In Bangkok” belongs on “Sgt. Pepper” instead of “She’s Leaving Home”?

Ep. 256 | Anthology 2025 Episode 5
Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: “Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?”
Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it’s not that bad, but c’mon Apple, it’s RUBBER SOUL! (#HeyHey #Rip)
For better AND worse, Beatles Anthology 5 is much like its predecessors; chock full of incredibly remastered footage and audio; while missing certain key elements for time or perhaps simply to please a mouse. (SFX: Buzzer) Sorry! “The Mouse”!
Come join Tony, T.J., and Casey as we mansplain how men mansplain Beatles stuff, and since the rule of two mansplainings cancels things out, we’ll ponder other life quandaries, like:
🏀 Do The Warriors come out to play to “Dear Prudence”, or is Steph Curry more of a “Wild Honey Pie” guy?
🏍️ Should a cover band who only does 90’s McCartney call themselves Mullet Kintyre?
🏝️ (Angry Chicago Guy: he just did a shot of Malort with an Ajax chaser): HOW COME YOKO AIN’T ON MY COPY OF “B-SIDE TO SEASIDE”? AND HOW COME SUSIE AIN’T WEARIN’ NO RED STRIPES IN MY DAMP DREAMS?

Ep. 255 | Anthology 2025 Episode 4
Wait no more, it’s Anthology 4! It’s better streaming, and also way worse! It’s shorter, which is nice, and also truly stupid. Official Beatles history is being re-written forever, a travesty that's never sounded or looked so good. Yes, if you’ve also found yourself stroking out at the tightening and edits of “Beatles Anthology - 2025”, you’ve got some pals at the Untitled Beatles Podcast. We’ve never been more grateful for such glorious Beatles product, and also, hey Calderstone, WTF MY DUDES???
It’s quite the conundrum as the fellas deep dish the 4th installment of this generation’s “Frozen 2”, now with Bernard Purdie as Josh Gad. They also ask the tough questions that CBS won’t allow their remaining journalists to even consider, like:
🎟🎡 Should The Beatles have re-recorded “Ticket To Ride” with lower production value for use in The Charlie Rich Anthology?
🏈🐴 Does Ringo prefer his beloved Raiders in L.A., Oakland, or Las Vegas; or merely singing “Kicks” with Paul Revere?
🍆📦 Since Sir Paul clearly created the original “I’m On A Boat” viral smash, can we finally credit John for the original “Dick In A Box” on the Two Virgins album cover?

Ep. 252 | Anthology 2025 Episodes 2 + 3
We pick up where we left off, in March 1963. The Gab Two follow the Fab Four along their journey in Anthology episodes 2 and 3: touring Britain, navigating Beatlemania, (probably) disappointing the Queen Mother, (probably) disappointing the boys in Paris, and—just in case you haven’t had enough coverage of it—INVADING THE STATES. #Don’tTellICE
Tee-Jay and Tony continue their Disney+ Deep Dish, and in classic Gen X fashion, spend most of their time waxing poetic about how much cooler everything was in the 90s. Their nostalgic trip leads them to the important inquiries, like:
⚡️🐱👤 Which one’a those Mighty Morphine Power Rangers played the sax?
📰📺 How’d NBC 5 Chicago’s Carol Marin end up on CBS News? WHEN DID CAROL MARIN GO MAGA? (#buzz)
🤡🤡 Do you think middle-aged Tony regrets teenaged Tony’s decision to get a hipster Morecambe and Wise tattoo in 1993?

Ep. 251 | Anthology 2025 Episode 1
Short attention spans. Am I right? I mean you’re reading this right now, when you could be with your family or punching a Nazi. (We at the UBP heartily encourage both.) Fortunately, the good folks at Apple & Disney are well aware of short attention span syndrome, most felt during slow dissolves and still images over credits. Thankfully, they’ve done us the favor of removing some incredible Beatles content to save time, all while making the remaining and new footage look and sound perfect. Less Beatles content, more commercials? What kind of Calderstoner would say no to that?
In today’s episode, Tony & T.J., vaguely replicate their critically panned, cantankerous relationship from their brief run on ABC’s “The New Odd Couple” back in 1982 (when Tony & T.J. went by their stage names, “Ron Glass” and “Desmond Wilson”), and take a look at the first chapter of “Anthology…2025”. They spotlight some of the exciting easter egg discoveries, as well as some of the curious cuts and changes to satiate, I don’t freaking know, “Bluey” viewers? Biscuits!
The pod world’s most serious gonzo rock journalists also ask a few other wild questions, such as:
🔎 Can The Pacemakers and The Dakotas tell the difference between The Pacemakers and The Dakotas?
🎺 Is it possible to discern who Foghorn Leghorn voted for merely by his accent, or by his penchant for fighting against the right to choose in the name of “freedumb”? #IsayIsayCancelFoghornLeghorn #Freak
☔️ Does not including any music from el groupo Rain in “Anthology” render it second banana to the Mexican-TV version of “Birth Of The Beatles”?
