In this episode, Dave and Chris review Morgan Neville’s Man on the Run, the new documentary about Paul McCartney’s first post‑Beatles years. We summarize the film’s release, Neville’s approach to telling Paul’s journey in the 1970s, and discuss the narrative, archival footage, photography, and contributions from all Wings members. Is it worth seeing?

As always, we also read listener feedback and cover recent Beatles‑related news and releases.

Enjoy!

Check out our non-Beatles video venture: "Song Album Career!"

In this episode we trace the life of "Act Naturally": written by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison, turned into a hit by Buck Owens, and later covered by the Beatles with Ringo Starr on vocals. First, we explore the original version, followed by discussion about why the song suited Ringo during the Help! session and what made their version stand out.

We also look at notable cover versions (including a Ringo–Buck duet and a Muppet performance), and share related music news and upcoming releases mentioned in the episode.
