Comedy creator and Beatles expert Toby DB joins me to defend Yesterday. The Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle comedy that imagined a world where nobody remembers The Beatles except one man.

We discuss why Yesterday deserved a far warmer reception from critics, the surprisingly emotional central premise, Richard Curtis' unmistakable dialogue, and the incredible story behind the film's original screenplay, which was apparently much darker before becoming the crowd-pleasing rom-com audiences know today.Along the way we chat about The Beatles' legacy, Danny Boyle's direction, bizarre casting what-ifs, the film's impressive supporting cast, forgotten 2010s movies, and whether Yesterday has become one of the most underrated modern British films.

We also wrap up with our Rotten Tomatoes game and Toby reveals a surprisingly controversial answer to the show's final question.If you're a fan of Richard Curtis, Danny Boyle, The Beatles, romantic comedies or overlooked films, you'll love this one.
