3 eps…
https://lnk.snahp.eu/NPLcafGzkJYhJT5qfUF1Oyg7SDTQu13fJyLBb
Couple of interesting things about electrocution.
The Ministry of Truth history revisionism regarding Paul's racist version of Get Back is stomach turning.
You'll want to take note of the She Came In Through The Bathroom Window improv @ about 2hrs in to ep 1.
Repeated instances in all episodes of Fohn mockingly mugging at the camera anytime "the old days" are mentioned.
The Faul in this wears a size 8 UK men's shoe.
Weird shit about Allen Klein in ep 3.
Ringo doppel does the slate before the live rooftop take of Dig A Pony.

 www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10224828653575050&set=a.10201247095450835"I can’t even begin to explain how important The Beatles are to me. I can’t imagine how different a person I would be in a world where they did not exist. I’ll never forget being given my Aunt’s copy of Meet (not With) The Beatles, complete with her hand-written notes on the back indicating who sang which songs (see photo). I was probably about 7 or 8. My mom would have remembered my age exactly; she was good about that sort of thing, but I can say with certainty that everything changed for me as I listened to that record seemingly every waking moment for the next several months. I had a friend who lived a few doors down from me. Her brother was four years older than me and initially treated me like his little sister’s dopey friend, but when I heard The Beatles coming down from his attic bedroom (so cool, the attic!) I started talking to him about the music, and slowly but surely he began to treat me as an equal as we poured over The Beatles catalog incessantly, trying to figure out how some of those crazy sounds were made (backwards hi hats, backwards guitar, backwards vocals, revolving Leslie speakers, cut up tape loops, etc) or why their voices sounded so different in certain songs like Strawberry Fields and When I’m Sixty Four. We would get so absolutely lost in their genius that entire days would pass as we listened, stopped and discussed, listened, stopped and discussed, ad infinitum. I’m writing all of this, of course, because I’ve been viewing Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, shedding many tears along the way, because I’ve been waiting for this for seemingly my entire life. I’ve owned bootleg copies of the Let It Be film, first on vhs, then on dvd, and although there are great moments in it, I always felt that we were being shown a highly edited, guarded version of their process and interactions, and this new film definitely confirms that suspicion, as tons of new footage of their disagreements is included. But, more importantly, tons of new footage of them creating and enjoying each other’s company is also included. The affection that they feel for each other is palpable. It’s impossible to not choke up while watching George help Ringo write Octopus’s Garden, or the gleeful interplay between John and Paul. The tables have clearly turned in that Paul is now definitely the alpha dog, but the core of their love and respect for one another remains unchanged. I feel like I’d be remiss if I didn’t address the completely overused “G word”. I’m of the opinion that all four of them are/were geniuses in their own way, but that Paul is an uber genius in a room full of geniuses. There are so many moments in these approximately eight hours of footage that left me vigorously shaking my head at Paul’s astounding talents. The writing (watching him extemporaneously pull Get Back out of his ass in front of a yawning George immediately comes to mind), the arranging, the playing, the diplomacy, and most important … That Fucking Voice In Paul’s prime, his voice was the most powerful musical instrument that I’ve ever experienced. It will never cease to send shivers down my spine, and watching him scream/sing the break from I’ve Got A Feeling (“All that I was looking for was somebody who looked like you.”) repeatedly, each time better than the last, was invigorating in a way that few things, if any, are. Just other fucking worldly. I’ve written way more than I expected to when I began, so I’ll finish this off simply by thanking The Beatles and Peter Jackson for the greatest gift I’ve ever received."

Another interesting little moment towards the end is that, after we've seen a drama with the cops showing up and then a Sgt., whom it appears are shutting the show down for noise complaints, George states on camera that it'll be good if they got the cops on film *so it'll look like they were forced to stop by the police, despite that not having been the case*. Again, this comes very close to the end and forces, I would think, even normies to question how much of the last 8 hours of what they just watched was even true.
Other thoughts:
Fohn doesn't just mock all references to "the old days", he also mocks Faul's reference to Paul's dead mother in 'Let It Be'.
Faul's overt jealousy over the attention Fohn is paying to Yoko in ep one gets picked up again by Fohn in ep2 when he makes a throw-away remark about how he and Faul are just like lovers.
It's weird that the big blow-up with Feorge is omitted.
Fohn makes references to both Faul's "very strong left arm" and a seemingly veiled reference to something having been terribly wrong with Faul's leg.
Fohn also makes a comment about "who was writing all those songs while we were in India [sic]".
It's enormously frustrating to know how much CGI went into doctoring this footage and that we'll never be allowed to see the raw stuff.
