He complained about having to dig deep for stories, with the biggest headline being casting news for Sam Mendes’ Beatles biopics – specifically who would play Ravi Shankar 🎵. He shared the classic story about Ravi Shankar at George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh, where the audience applauded what they thought was a performance but was actually just the tuning up 🎤.
The segment covered a new Billy Idol documentary titled “Billy Idol Should Be Dead,” though Bob and Matt expressed skepticism about whether there was enough substance for a full documentary and worried it might be a vanity project rather than genuine journalism 🎬.
