A quick bonus episode to discuss Michael Lindsay-Hogg's film, restored by Peter Jackson's team and released on Disney+ on 8 May 2024.
We discussed the original film at length in our two-part episode at the end of season four.
FEATURED PODCAST EPISODE
Let it Be (original 1970 film) (part 1)
Is Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 film as miserable as we thought, having seen Get Back? Maybe the perception that it's negative is a failure of collective memory.
Listen on SpotifyBut we were lucky enough to get an advance viewing of the restored Let it Be, so we wanted to have a quick chat about the significance of this rerelease. In particular we try and answer the question: Why do we need this when we have Get Back? We also talk about Jackson and Lindsay-Hogg's introduction, and how it suggests this has been ready to go for over a year, and about the visual and audio distinctions between this restoration and Get Back.
