Alan G Parker's latest Beatles-related documentary is about John Lennon's last ten years - or maybe the last 15 or so? We look at the film's unfocused approach, its long, seemingly unedited anecdotes, and the perspective lent it by its choice of talking head contributors. We also discuss its use of AI animation, from both a creative and ethical perspective.You can currently watch Borrowed Time on Prime Video. If not it's widely available digitally, and as we mention, it had a Blu-ray and DVD release too.Watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQpCDjvjLSIEd mistitles Kenneth Womack's excellent book, John Lennon 1980: The Last Days in the Life, but he's read it, we promise: https://kennethwomack.com/books/beatlesbooks/john-lennon-1980-the-last-days-in-the-life/Meet the Beatles Films PodcastThe Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
