Reel Film Nerds

Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday. Welcome everyone to a super special episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!  Today we review Yesterday, not the song but the movie inspired by the infamous band that change the world The Beatles!  We even brought on a special guest to help digest this film.  Hippy, vintage baseball jock, and Beatle maniac Steve Stockmar!  Extracurricular topics include Who is LaLa, RFN the unofficial podcast of Portillo’s Big Beef, and MCU tie in battle. Yesterday is an incredible idea for a fun fantastical film that falls flat on its face into rom-com territory without much com.  The film starts off well exploring the idea of what if only one man knew The Beatles existed.  It quickly turns into a stale romantic comedy with very little comedy.  The acting is great and the new renditions of classic Beatles tunes are really well done.  It just did not really push the boundaries of the premise that is present
