Episode 32: Wish You Were Here to Warm This Heart (1964)

Though 1964 was celebrated for the return of the original movie musical with the release of Mary Poppins, there was another movie release that set the world on fire with its revolutionary music. A Hard Day's Night was the film debut of the Beatles during their yearlong "invasion" in the United States. What is remarkable about 1964 as far as the Oscars is concerned is how none of the songs from the Beatles got an Original Song Oscar nomination. So, what was deemed better than the title song or "Can't Buy Me Love?" Host Jeff Commings will guide you through the list of five nominees on this episode.
