Justin and Tyler head back to the screening room to watch another film for About Movie Time. This week they review the Beatles' 2nd movie: Help!

Ty and Justin review the first Beatles Movie: A Hard Day's Night. Follow the Beatles through an average day as they travel to the studio for a performance with Paul's very notably clean, but trouble-making granddad in tow. They scrub up at the hotel, meet with the press, then enter the studio for rehearsal before losing Ringo who was upset by Paul's granddad and goes for a walk. Meanwhile the troublemaker gets picked up for trying to sell autographed pictures of the band and winds up in the jail next to Ringo. But true to form, Paul's clean troublemaking granddad decides to break out of the joint and go get the lads to come get Ringo out. And in the end it worked out alright with excellent performances every step of the way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Justin and Ty delve into the biggest movement of British on American soil since the war of 1812. This time they didn't bring muskets and bayonets, they brought electric guitars and flowers instead! This invasion was a welcome one to be sure! Several big British rock bands had attempted the invasion before, and were quashed by American indifference. But John Lennon and the Beatles refused to go to America until they had a #1 hit there first. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" topped the charts and so the Fab Four boarded a plane and landed to throngs from a manic crowd eager to devour their sounds. The Beatles were followed by several other great beloved bands like the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, and Them. There has never been a music revolution of that magnitude since, though some movements have been great, like the grunge era. Justin adores the music from the British invasion, and regardless of where Ty stands with his personal taste, he has to admit that he respects the significance of the music from this era of history. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Justin and Ty review the excellent prison movie Escape From Alcatraz starring their patron saint Clint Eastwood as Frank Morris. Beyond the movie that they both love, they explore the aftermath and various theories about what really happened to Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin. Was this the only successful escape attempt from Alcatraz, or just another failed attempt where the convicts died? And they pose an interesting question: Could D.B. Cooper have been one of the Alcatraz escapees? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

They talk about the pandemic and re-evaluating our reactions to it seeing as Covid19 has been through both of our households this year. Finally they end the show on a high note by talking about Ty's 8 inch cock... which is quite small as far as cocks grow.

A County issue? City issue? Neighborhood issue? We may find that the Supreme Court is looking at the entire issue completely wrong. Moving on we discuss community celebrations including barbecues, fireworks, town parties, etc, and why engaging in these celebrations today doesn't seem to work nearly as well as it used to. Finally we discuss the adaptations of cars over the years, what the future holds for the internal combustion engine and electric motors. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Justin and Ty talk about a local unsolved murder that occurred on an identical weekend back in 1965. Saturday June 25th, 17 year old Tanya Weber (Web-er) was dropped off by her friends after a post-wedding reception treat at the pizza parlor. Fate would have it that she forgot her purse in the car with her keys in it. She dropped off her boutonniere from the wedding, and the bride's bouquet that she caught on the front porch and started running after the departing car, but she never caught up with it. She was found strangled to death face down a block down the street from her house with her skirt torn and one of her stockings tied around her throat. But who murdered her? Was it the peeping tom who committed suicide a few days later up the canyon? Was it the deviant who sexually assaulted a pregnant woman 5 weeks later? Was it Ty's dad? The crime is officially unsolved. This episode contains talk about murder, sexual assault and violence that may or may not have been committed by Ty's dad.

Justin and Ty agree on one very big, I mean major pointy, I mean point: Boobs! They like 'em! This episode contains a lot of sexual content, adult themes, politics, drama, comedy, drugs, suicide, and a big conspiracy. And all of it is wrapped around Marilyn Monroe, the iconic blonde bombshell of the 50's who died way too soon in 1962. Was she murdered by the Kennedy's? Was her death intentional or an accident? Honestly, we don't know! But we do know that she suffered from depression, mental problems, drug addiction, and she left this world way too soon. Even though she died young at 36, she is still immortalized forever as the go-to blonde bombshell. Be cautioned, there will be lots of adult themes, spoiler alerts, and trigger warnings regarding drug use and suicide. If you are having any suicidal thoughts, please reach out to somebody. Anybody!

Ty and Justin discuss a short-lived, but extremely famous rock artist that embodied the 1960's hippie culture the way Courtney Love embodied the grunge culture of the Nirvana 90's. We are speaking of the famous Janis Joplin, a member of the 27 club along side Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain, speaking of Nirvana. Special thanks to John from New York for requesting this topic. Mrs. Joplin had a face for radio, but in Ty's opinion, not a voice for radio. Janis got her real start at the Monterey Pop Music Festival which we discussed a few episodes ago, and by the time Woodstock came around she was a household name among those who attended due to her recognizable raspy voice and mix of blues, folk, country and rock n' roll style that is so commonplace now, but really it was Mrs. Joplin that created it. Ty may not be a big fan of Janis, but no argument can be made that she wasn't an iconic person that accomplished much more in her 27 years, than Ty has in twice that amount of time. Pour a little out of a bottle of Southern Comfort for Janis Joplin, then down the rest of the bottle Janis Joplin style, and if you don't die from that, sit back and enjoy this episode.

Ty and Justin review one of the iconic movies of 1960's pop culture American Graffiti starring a lot of stars before they became big and famous and also Ron Howard who was already big and famous. George Lucas's first directed movie, and Harrison Ford's first speaking role. This movie has cars, babes, and a soundtrack that you won't believe jockeyed at you from the one and only Wolfman Jack! This movie put Modesto, California on the map, and follows several intertwined subplots as our main characters deal with their own drama throughout the course of one night that none of them will ever be able to forget. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Ty and Justin have their first ever in person recording and it was as awkward as a first date. They address the one statistic that the United States undoubtedly leads the rest of the world by a mile in: mass shootings! Are gun rights more important than the lives of little children? What's worse is that the shooters are getting better at it. The attacks are more and more deadly and the casualties are climbing. Can't we do something?! ANYTHING!!!? Why is it always back to business as usual with nothing being done to impede the crazies from getting access to assault weapons?

Sometimes history gets rewritten from the skewed version handed down from the victors. One such theory trying to re-write history is the Tartarian Mud Flood theory that a global catastrophic event wiped out an ancient superior civilization that built all the grand old buildings in North America using the same technology that built the pyramids. It's an awesome theory, with a little more evidence to support it than scientology has, but is it really true? Is it even possible? Or is there a better explanation why there are old buildings erected with amazing architecture reminiscent of the great cathedrals of Europe? Justin and Ty delve into this theory and its many facets, and then end the show by pointing out that not everyone who is exercising their rights is doing the right thing, especially just to get views and make a buck.

Maybe it was mostly the Wilson Family Singers, but slave-driver Papa Murry pushed them to the top. And let's not forget Mike Love and Al Jardine were also part of the original band, but it was mostly the brainchild of Brian Wilson's music and sound that formed this phenomenon that has spanned the ages and been the background to all kids who hit their teens and discover cars, surfing, parties, and dating. There are plenty of more adult-oriented or darker/broodier bands that kids will dance to as well, but the Beach Boys seem to be one of the only bands that are all about having a good time all the time, nothing but pure fun when boys discover girls and girls discover boys. Let someone else take it after the first heart breaks, or unexpected teen pregnancy, but until that time comes, let the Beach Boys blast on the stereo of your little Deuce Coupe, throw your arm around Barbara-Ann, and cruise through Salt Lake City on your way to a Surfin' Safari. Also Ty and Justin get frequently side-tracked in this episode, so hang on and enjoy the ride while they talk about was the Titanic a clever Insurance Fraud scam pulled off by the White Star Line and any number of other topics.

They discuss the significance of the movie, the events depicted, the portrayal of those historic events, and the artwork of the movie itself. Plenty of other movie reviews will tell you about the story of the movie, but this review will tell you more about the significance of the movie to pop culture, film-making, story-telling, and how everyone in Hollywood did their jobs.

And what is going on in the world around us in other areas? Forgive us if we get a little political in this episode. We tried really hard not to! But when this episode is over, you'll know without a doubt that Justin and Ty do NOT have a soft spot in their hearts for people with pedophilia. Sometimes it's good to take a break from delving into history and movies, so we'll offer episodes from time to time like this one where we comment on different topics that affect the world today and always.

Ty and Justin discuss the sit-in protests of 1960-61. Starting at Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina February 1960 and spreading across the south, Black and White protesters occupied the paying customer seats at lunch counters and diners demanding that all people be allowed this prime seating regardless of the color of their skin. Could such an effective protest happen today? Do such protests happen today? How can we peacefully lobby for change in a way that won't be ignored, but will actually accomplish the stated goal? Our hosts get off on tangents, talking about current events, racism, sexism, communal bathrooms, etc. But do they do any good with any of this? You decide while we sit on it.

Oh, you poor listeners! This week's episode was difficult to do. We watched an abomination of a movie from 1963 based on the classic novel "Lord of the Flies". Luckily, Justin and Ty are both healthy, but some of our loved ones have caught covid, and one of Ty's good friends passed away due to the illness the day of this recording.

October 1962 was one of the most tense moments in history for 2 weeks when JFK and Khrushchev negotiated their way to peace through circumstances that almost obliterated the planet. All of this over a little sliver of an island in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico? The Cuban Missile Crisis shaped the relationship between the USA and USSR. Looking back, it was probably a good thing for the United States to be taken down a notch. It also established a policy that before destroying each other, the two super powers would call each other up and try negotiating diplomatically before lobbing nukes at each other. Did it lead to the deaths of the Kennedy brothers? Did it drive the CIA and Military Heads to murder? Who knows?

Welcome to our first Cinema of the Sixties Movie Night! We start off with the first of the Spaghetti Westerns: Fistful of Dollars starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone. This movie is a hard break from the honorable heroes of the 1950's when cowboys were like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, John Wayne, and even Howdy Doody! Those heroic cowboys could do no wrong, they were the contemporary virtuous knights in shining spurs that always triumphed over evil and rescued the damsels in distress. The man with no name in the Spaghetti Westerns is not so virtuous, not at all noble, but still a hero worth rooting for nonetheless. As the world grew up and faced the hard realities of adult life, so did westerns and many other movies too. If you want to hear us discuss other movies from the 60's, or about the 60's, let us know!

In 1966 Ralph Nader published the book "Unsafe at Any Speed" about the design features of the day's automobiles that were particularly dangerous.

Arlene from San Francisco suggested we do an episode on the University of Texas in Austin Shooting August 1, 1966. A bright young man with a promising future was brought low spiraling out of control by headaches and invasive thoughts. He watched his life go from a promising future to a foreboding impending doom. He killed a lot of people, but not as many as he could have. There were some problems in trying to get this episode out, but I think we got it all figured out now.

Born Johnny Allen Hendrix, given his first 1 string guitar at 16, learned to play it upside down because he was left-handed, a career that was cut way too short as he died at 27, few people have impacted the world, or even just their field of expertise in such a short amount of time as Jimi Hendrix did. Are you experienced? After this episode about the late great Jimi Hendrix you will be!

Justin and Ty discuss the events that led up to the shooting of a protesting crowd at Kent State University in Ohio May 4, 1970. 4 people died, and 9 more were wounded by the National Guard who came to put down a protest that had already burned the ROTC building on campus and was no longer a peaceful protest as people threw rocks because they didn't want to send any more people to die in Southeast Asia for people that they had nothing to do with.  It was a very sad day, but it taught us a lot of lessons and drew some strange parallels with other events from history, like the Boston Massacre, the battle of Lexington and Concord, even Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter have a familiar echo of what happened at Kent State University.  This episode discusses a lot of adult themes including violence.

Why does the entrance to Alcatraz Island say "Indians Welcome" in graffiti? Justin and Ty discuss the events where Native Americans occupied the island of Alcatraz for a year and a half from November 1969 to June 1971.  Indians from many tribes spent time protesting on the island in the middle of San Francisco Bay to get the Federal Government to give surplus lands back to Indians in accordance with the treaty made with the Lakota Sioux in the 1800's.  Even today the Federal Government is not very kind when dealing with complaints from the Native American tribes.  For current example, just look at the Keystone Pipeline today. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

The 1960's were a time of transition for the United States.  Things changed from a naive way of living to a loss of innocence as evidenced by the change in style and fashions. Things changed very drastically from the conservative formality of the beginning of the decade into the liberated casualness associated with the end of the decade. This episode is marked Explicit because it deals with adult issues like sexuality. Be sure to give us a 5 star review, a thumbs up, and send us an email to keep more content coming!

Justin and Ty discuss the last of the great Rock Festivals of the 1960's. The Rolling Stones threw together a last minute concert at a speedway in the middle of California.  Even at short notice, they drew a crowd of 300,000 people.  And most of those fans enjoyed a wonderful concert, except for those closest to the stage who were tripping on bad drugs and caught between the excited people behind them, and the Hell's Angels who were hired to guard the stage.  The party got so rowdy that The Grateful Dead decided to leave just before they were supposed to go on stage. 4 people died, 3 by accident, and one by what the court ruled as self-defense, and 4 babies were born that night, but it was also the death of an era, and the birth of something else.  Thanks to mixkit for the use of their song Out of This World in this podcast. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Following our previous episode, we discuss the younger brother of John F. Kennedy: Robert F. Kennedy.  The Kennedy family was brought up by the parents to be strong leaders. Following the death of Joe Jr., John stepped up to fulfill his father's hopes for a great legacy. Bobby, on the other hand, was considered to be the "runt" of the Kennedy family, and surprised his father with his political success. The assassinations of JFK and RFK are saturated with conspiracy, but did it take more than one gunman each time? That's what we're going to talk about this time. Explicit tag for some language. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support

Episode 2 Justin and Ty discuss one of the greatest presidents of all time: JFK.  What if he hadn't been assassinated? What if Richard Nixon had beat him for the presidency? How would Tricky Dick have handled the Cuban Missile Crisis? We don't discuss the assassination very much, since there are entire podcasts dedicated to that single event alone, and we also hope to show our listeners that Jack was much more of a man than how he passed away.  We do have a few swear words in this episode, so there is an explicit tag for that reason.  Thanks to mixkit for the use of their music --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/about-what/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/about-what/support
