Yellow Submarine (Part 2)

In part 2 we close out our third season with some good old-fashioned British magic realism. Is Yellow Submarine a magic realist piece, and if so are the submarine or the Beatles themselves the conduit for the magic?

Plus! We discuss its eastern European influences, and talk about the failed Robert Zemeckis remake, how far it got, and the technological and industrial reasons why it didn't go any further.

• You can rent or buy Yellow Submarine on Apple TV

• Watch the original trailer from 1968:

• Here's the pinball animation from Sesame Street

• Some footage from the abandoned Zemeckis remake
