All the main events of that time in John\u2019s life are covered here, with a soap-opera style reminiscent of the previously reviewed \u2018John &amp;amp; Yoko: A Love Story\u2019. Antony and Ghosty also discuss biopics in general, and the difficulty in capturing charismatic figures and writing dialogue worthy of them There\u2019ll be another Glass Onion 2-parter to round off 2025, the first part due to come out in November Enjoy! &amp;nbsp; Feedback to glassonionpod@yahoo.com &amp;nbsp; Support the show at https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/antonyrotunno OR https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/antonyrotunno &amp;nbsp; Facebook page https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/glassonionjlpod &amp;nbsp; Twitter handle https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/OnionLennon &amp;nbsp; Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching) https:\/\/www.antonyrotunno.com &amp;nbsp; Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology and Alternative media) https:\/\/www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com &amp;nbsp; Ghosty\u2019s Cliff Richard\/Shadows podcast and you tube channel https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/share\/pb-p5kf8-10892e3 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@GhostyTMRS\/videos &amp;nbsp; episode links Lennon Naked film pages and full film https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1560164\/ https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lennon_Naked &amp;nbsp; The fictional Magical Mystery Tour press conference https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JdXLdbJ_xk8 &amp;nbsp; Scene comparisons with real events https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7mFsahlxZZc &amp;nbsp; Glass Onion\u2019s 2020 episode on depictions of John Lennon on film (including Lennon Naked)  https:\/\/glassoniononjohnlennon.com\/episode-30-john-lennon-on-film-the-good-the-bad-and-the-cameos-with-ed-chen &amp;nbsp; Elliot Roberts watched every Beatles biopic\u2026 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eon5X1W8uGc &amp;nbsp; John &amp;amp; Yoko\u2019s real encounter with Gloria Emerson (keep smiling) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iIM7D_IfCtI &amp;nbsp; Freddie Lennon\u2019s 1965 smash-hit Xmas single (not quite) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=azAiSG09FBk &amp;nbsp; The World of John &amp;amp; Yoko (BBC 1969) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-dqVemtlJvk &amp;nbsp; Pete Shotton\u2019s recommended memoir https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/1154066.John_Lennon &amp;nbsp; John Lennon at his humorous best (Get Back 1969) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_K9zuXRTul0 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2XdYb-16F7c ","author_name":"Glass Onion: On John Lennon","author_url":"https:\/\/glassoniononjohnlennon.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/38756295\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/38756295"}
