In part 2 of our season one finale (so, the last one, the actual FINALE finale, the episode_final-FINAL(1).mp3), we're looking at Richard Lester's Help! and in particular the story and the film at large. For a discussion of the music and how it's treated in the film, see part 1. Or just listen to them both in a row.
Is it, inevitably, a bit problematic seen through today's lens? Does the story make sense? Does any of this matter because the whole thing's just so ruddy joyous?
