This week the two of us round out Mystery Month with Nick of the music blog Consequence of Sound as we roll up for the 1967 TV special Magical Mystery Tour, written/directed by and starring The Beatles! One of the most misguided moves I've ever seen in my life, this day tripper is 52 minutes long, long, long of complete and utter nonsense; I've got a feeling the Fab Four just bedazzled a bus, gave a bunch of extras a ticket to ride and went on the long and winding road hoping the movie would start getting better.
The results are helter-skelter, as the movie goes here, there and everywhere without a paperback writer to help organize the chaos. For the script, they just said to themselves, "Why don't we do it in the road?" You can't do that. It really goes nowhere, man, I should have known better than to watch this film. It's such a rarity I had to find it with a little help from my friends, but we've got help! for you in the form of our custom cocktail and drinking rules!
