I'm into it. Hope the writing and casting are good. This doesn't need famous people, but I imagine all the youngsters tearing each others eyes out to get cast in this.

I've rewatched Get Back a bunch of times, I find it so fascinating. Crazy to think all the hate Yoko got from splitting the band, when she was just there minding her own business.

I wouldn't mind Peter Jackson remastering more material from that era. I'd kill for a Get Back type of documentary about Queen.

she was minding her own business while literally sitting in the recording booth with them lol she should've been way more self aware and gotten TF out

I meant that the narrative was that Yoko was disruptive to the process on the studio.
And she wasn't at all. She wasn't interrupting or being rude.
John wanted her close and yeah it was awkward, but she was just there?

Tbf Get Back cut a lot of stuff out. She wasn't the demon she was made out to be, but she was def. an issue. lol

Cool concept, boring ( 2me) subject matter.

give me a Fleetwood Mac version! The messiest of bands and amazing music.
They're built for a show like this lol

Fleetwood Mac as phase 2 of the BCU. Strong Pattie Boyd/Jenny Boyd subplot in George's movie -> Mick Fleetwood marries Jenny Boyd in the post-credit stinger for the FMCU (coming to a theater near you Summer 2033)
