Hello, I am Sam Adams, a senior editor at Slate, and I will be hosting a spoiler special on the movie yesterday.

Sometimes the portion of the podcast where we describe the plot as difficult.

This is not one of those times.

Jack Malick is a struggling musician who awakes after an accident to find that he is the only person in the world who remembers the Beatles, and more importantly, all of their songs.

And more importantly, does it bring him closer to Ellie, his lifelong friend and former

manager, who has been in love with him since they were seven?

Joining me to discuss yesterday and things beatilific are Ingu Kang, a sculptor for Slate. Hello. Hello, hello.
