Filmed on a shoestring budget and released with modest expectations for box office success, A Hard Day's Night is a fluffy, goofy, and deeply unserious film that happened to capture one of the 20th century's most beloved cultural institutions at the apex of their popularity. The movie's approachable charm left a lasting influence on the marketing of pop musicians going forward; a very prominent example is Spice World, a spiritual successor that was produced when the Spice Girls were at the height of their own hitmaking run.
Ryan is joined by Cheryl and Sarah for a compare and contrast of these two musical comedies. Discussion topics include the artistic merits of frivolity, the flattening of historical figures as time passes, and how gender politics influenced the public perception of both movies.
