Episode 104- John Lennon The Actor with Ross Marshall (Part 2 of 2)

We conclude our look at John Lennon as an actor, starting from 1965’s ‘Help!’ and with particular emphasis on what was arguably his only ‘serious’ role, albeit in an anti-war satire ‘How I Won The War’. He also voices a famously sprawling Beatles TV film about a bus, and there’s a film cameo and brief comedy sketch in amongst it all as well. Antony is joined once again by professional actor Ross Marshall, and there are multiple audio clips to complement the conversation. Glass Onion will return in December for 1 or possibly 2 more episodes looking at John Lennon’s religious and spiritual life.   Enjoy!   Feedback to [email protected]   Support the show at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno   Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod   Twitter handle  https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon   Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching)  https://www.antonyrotunno.com   Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology and Alternative media)  https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com   Ross’s acting page and his new film, currently streaming on A***** Prime https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6892498/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19632160/?ref_=nm_flmg_knf_t_1   episode links John’s scenes in ‘Help!’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FesTTkMcSd4   How I Won The War (filmed in 1966, released in 1967) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Won_the_War   John’s scenes in ‘How I Won The War’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEZFe94xpkk   Our original review of the film https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com/episode-38-how-i-won-the-war-reel-britannia-film-podcast   John is interviewed on the set of the film in Almeria, Spain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8u5Ct8cdpQ&t=137s   John as the doorman of the ‘Ad Lav’ (‘Not Only But Also’, Nov 1966) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qAo0wx--C0   James Hargreaves’s very imaginative interpretation of the ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CTIlgC0P0Q   John riffs with Little Nicola on the bus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTjP74avEpQ   ‘I Am The Walrus’ in 4k (glorious!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMOrBbcoFbo   Mr Creosote scene (somewhat influenced by Magical Mystery Tour) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aczPDGC3f8U   The Beatles’ cameo in the ‘Yellow Submarine’ film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM8S4Y7FPMk   John needles Peter Sellers in Twickenham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpcAUdgCChc   ‘Daytime Revolution’ trailer (new doc about John & Yoko) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkjiRlTVVnQ   John at his charismatic peak playing DJ in 1974 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCq-kdYEvT4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_G7PN9Yovw
