In 1978, Bee Gees and Peter Frampton were mega-stars, selling millions of records, with their faces plastered on magazine covers everywhere and playing to sold-out audiences. The sky should be been the limit, but instead Sgt Peppers was.
The film is a star-stuffed, brain-breaking testimony to the ravaging effects of cocaine in the 70s and 80s on the creative process. And whoever came up with the idea of trying to knit the Beatle’s psychedelic masterpiece into a coherent cinematic narrative certainly wasn’t short of the old devil’s dandruff.
Needless to say, it sank under the weight of its own riduculousness, taking its leads (and most of the rest of the cast) with it.
Almost everyone from the world of mid 70s rock and soul is here (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Earth, Wind and Fire) plus Steve Martin and even Frankie Howerd as – wait for it – Mean Mr Mustard.
Join your host Joe Nawaz for a non-chemical fuelled trip to Pepperland where less is more and more is waaay too much!
