Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #469: A Very Clean Podcast

Join us this week as we travel back to 1964 to discuss the Beatles' first feature film, *A Hard Day's Night,* and the iconic album that accompanied it. We explore how this groundbreaking film captured the height of Beatlemania, blending humor, music, and the Fab Four's undeniable charm. We'll also dive into the album's unforgettable tracks, the cultural impact of both the film and the music, and how they set the stage for the Beatles' continued dominance in the 60s. Also we don't have much fandom news, but we do have your feedback which sends us on a few tangents, and some housekeeping.
