Who Was the Best Beatle? | The Cast of "Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles"
Beatles ReconstructedShow Notes
Who was the best Beatle? What’s the best Beatles song that was never a single? And if you could choose the final moment of Beatles history…what would it be?In this conversation I’m joined by Will Hines, Katie Plattner and Joel Spence from the cast of “Screw It, We’re Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles."“Screw It” has been one of my favorite Beatles podcasts for years, and this conversation is very much in the spirit of the show: funny, deep-hearted Beatles obsessives sitting around and trying to answer questions that probably don’t have answers - and having a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Find “Screw It, We’re Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles” wherever you get your podcasts. I highly recommend subscribing to their bonus content feed. Thanks to Will, Katie, and Joel for joining me — this was an absolute blast!

What happens when you put two Beatles obsessives on opposite sides of the planet and give them microphones?Elliot Roberts joins Beatles Reconstructed for a deep dive into his life as one of Beatles YouTube’s most beloved creators — from dancing to “I’m Down” on VHS as a kid, to learning bass, and somehow turning extremely specific Beatles thoughts into videos hundreds of thousands of people want to watch.We talk about the origins of Elliot's Beatles fandom, why he began making YouTube videos, the creative process, the burden of making a video when you’d rather be doing literally anything else (and the apparently enormous untapped market for Elliot’s hair-care routine).Plus: “Little Child” slander. Give My Regards to Broad Street. The Four Fab Questions. And the horrifying prospect of a four-and-a-half-hour Ringo Starr solo deep dive.This is The Beatles According to Elliot Roberts.
The MonaLisa Twins have built one of the most enduring music careers on YouTube. Mona and Lisa Wagner first gained attention through their beautifully performed Beatles covers, showcasing gorgeous harmonies, impressive instrumental talent, and a deep understanding of the magic of the Fab Four. Over time, they’ve evolved into fully realized original artists, amassing nearly 300,000 subscribers and over 130 million views on YouTube. As someone who started out on YouTube at the same time, I've been rooting them on from afar for years. Last month I connected with Mona and Lisa for a wonderful conversation. In this interview, we explore their full journey - arriving on YouTube in 2007, building a global audience, playing the Cavern Club 100 times, and developing their own sound as truly original songwriters and performers. Also, naturally, we talked Beatles riffs and gear (I seriously want that Hofner). I hope you guys enjoy this one!🎶 Follow the MonaLisa Twins:YouTube → / @monalisatwins Website → https://monalisa-twins.com/MLT Club → https://monalisa-twins.com/mltclub/Instagram → / monalisatwins
