Hello Whovians and also regular people,
For this month's bonus video I share my full thoughts on the Doctor Who episode 'The Devil's Chord' which features the Beatles!... or people playing the Beatles. And it's... kinda weird?
I didn't really know too much about Doctor Who going into this video so I certainly learned a lot!
Hope you enjoy the video!

Hey everybody,
Here's my latest YouTube video up a few days early. It's on the 2024 restoration of Let It Be on Disney+.
Looking forward to hearing what you think of it yourselves!

I thought a neat idea might be to post a hub of all of the notable podcasts I've featured on!
I'm posting the Apple Podcasts link (hope that's okay!).
I'll also give you a brief outline of them if you've not heard of these pods.
Here, There, and Everywhere: A Beatles Podcast is exactly what it sounds like. Host Jack Lawless interviews a new guest for each ep. My favourite from this series is the three-parter where R...
Hey Patrons!
In celebration of The Lemon Twigs' new album A Dream Is All We Know, I interviewed them recently for an hour-and-a-half where we talked the new album, their upbringing, modern influences, video games, and a TONNE of Beatles chat.
Now, normally I would have this up for early access but there was an agreement to release this the day of their album launch (today) and because I use clips of unreleased songs, I couldn't release it any earlier, I hope you're cool w...

Hey everybody!
Please enjoy this bonus video for April, which is all about the resurgence of vinyl records!
Why now? Are CDs still relevant? Is this Gen-Z's doing? And is Taylor Swift to blame?
Thanks for a great topic suggestion Heath!
Enjoy folks :)

Hey gang!
Here is March's Bonus Video where I react to Rolling Stone's list (compiled by Rob Sheffield) of the 100 best solo Beatle songs.
In what has become easily my longest Bonus Video at over an hour, I had a ball going through this fantastic list and didn't skip a single entry.
What are your thoughts? What's missing? Let us know in the comments to this Patreon post.
Enjoy the video!

Hey everybody,
Here’s my video on the recently announced four new Beatles biopics coming in 2027 (great topic suggestion!)
I really wanted to give myself enough time in the writing and editing phases of this video and combined with getting COVID, just made it slightly delayed, my apologies for that.
This is the 2nd longest Bonus Video on this Patreon and the one I've worked on the hardest so please enjoy and let me know all of your thoughts!

2024-03-01 14:19:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody,
I know I usually have the monthly bonus video out by this time but I'm going to need just one more day.
I've had COVID this past week so it's just been a little bit tricky to get it done (plus it's a big one this month!)
Sorry for the delay, I hope you all understand.
See you soon!

Hey everyone,
My next YouTube video is on my love for the Beatles-sounding band The Lemon Twigs and specifically their incredible album Everything Harmony from 2023 (my album of the year).
If you haven't checked out this band or this record I highly recommend it!
Thanks folks!

Hey everybody,
I was a couple of hours behind with this but here is the first Bonus Video for 2024.
It's on the 2000 TV-Movie about the life of the Beach Boys.
This is the most effort I've ever put into a Bonus Video on Patreon, so I hope you enjoy it. Let me know any suggestions for future Biopic Breakdowns!
Hope you dig it,

It happened again!
There was less than a minute left and two topic were tied so, just like last month, I became the tie-breaking vote and so we will be looking at the ambitious made-for-TV docudrama "The Beach Boys: An American Family".
I may reuse a couple of these other topics next month.
Video will be out by January 31st.

I've got some tasty topics for you to vote on including a new regular Bonus Video series that, if popular, I'd be happy to turn into a series on here called 'Biopic Breakdown' (I was considering 'Bad Biopic Breakdown' but they won't all necessarily be bad). And this month it's on the 2000s made-for-TV-movie 'The Beach Boys: An American Family', which I showed a clip of in my Love You video.

In case you didn't catch the announcement on Discord, I will be running a Q&A session in the Elliot Roberts Patreon Discord at 11:30am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) so get your time zone calculators and figure out when that will be for you.
I'll be on the mic and you can send through as many questions in the Discord chat.
We can talk about the new video, or anything at all. It'll just be a chill time, don't stress if you're busy, I'll...
Hey everyone, new video alert!
For those of you who didn't catch the early access of this, here it is live on YouTube. I'm really proud of this one. I spent a lot of time mixing the music so listen with headphones for the optimal experience.
Thanks, hope you like it.

Hello everybody!
I am so pleased to preview my latest video on the 1977 album 'The Beach Boys Love You.'
I have been meaning to make another video on the Beach Boys since my 'Love and Mercy' video in 2021. I hope you've been excited for a return of them too.
I have spent a lot of time editing and mixing the sound for this video so I would recommend watching with HEADPHONES for the best experience.
I usually leave 2-3 days for early access but du...
Hey everybody,
Happy final Bonus Video for 2023!
It's been an EXCELLENT year for film and here are my top ten.

Happy new year, see you in 2024!

Hey, so there was a TIE between two topics with only a couple of minutes to go on the poll. In the event of this happening my rule is that I myself can be the tie-breaking vote and given that I'm finishing up a new music-related video, I went with 'Top Ten Films of 2023.'
Goes to show that every vote counts!
Video will be out in a few days :)

Hey everybody,
As a Christmas gift to you all, I've made a little video of outtakes and bloopers from previous videos this year.
Bloopers don't really happen naturally in my YouTube videos as I'm merely performing to a camera and if I mess up I will typically just take a pause and go for another take (pretty boring) but here are some clips that might amuse you regardless.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!

P.S. For those in the 2nd top tier and up, do...

Hey everybody,
The winning topic this month was "Lighting round of previously unpicked popular Bonus Video topics" and here is the fourth unchosen topic: The importance of media preservation.
I thought I'd break them up into smaller videos instead of one long meandering one. The other three should also be in the Patreon feed.
Hope you enjoy them,
