353. Dominic Monaghan on The Beatles ’White Album’ (1968)

Today, the great Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost, Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan) joins me for a truly epic deep dive into The Beatles White Album. We get into Dom’s Beatles origin story, his conflicted feelings about John Lennon, how the album is an audition for the Beatles respective solo careers, his Beatles tattoos and whether he has pried an early look at Peter Jackson’s new Beatles documentary out of his old mate. But the real meat of this episode is a track by track exploration of the entire double album, from Back in the USSR to Good Night. It is the considered opinion of this podcast that nothing beats a full spectrum Beatles nerd out, and this is one for the ages.
