## Resource

On this episode of our Beatles podcast, we are joined by our special guest and film correspondant, Stephen Ptacek along with another super-special surprise guest. The episode is long and loose but the conversation is engaging about one the weirdest, most interesting and complicated Beatles projects. We take on the film’s bigger questions, move through it scene by scene, dig into behind-the-scenes material, listen to radio promos and interview clips, and even get into a restored cut scene. At the end, we give Help! the only thing it was missing: a rating.
