Sextette

Ringo Starr's film career includes the odd misstep, of course, but this 1978 vehicle for Mae West is often cited among the worst films ever made. And fair enough, it's not great. But Ringo is the best thing in it: we talk about how he brings his whole self to the role, further evidence of how committed he was to making acting his primary career at this point in his life. And there are other Beatles connections: Dom DeLuise sings the Lennon/McCartney song Honey Pie in the film, and of course there's the small matter of the cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.


  • Watch the film: https://youtu.be/_d7y_ai5oy8
  • The YouTube supercut of Mae West's best lines we mention: https://youtu.be/FJS670okmZc
  • If you like one-star reviews, here are the two of Ed's we mention in the episode: What To Expect When You're Expecting: https://www.theshiznit.co.uk/review/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting.php
  • And Maniac: https://www.theshiznit.co.uk/review/maniac.php
  • The bottle episode of Friends we mention is season 3, episode 2, The One Where No One's Ready, which you can watch on Netflix or just close your eyes and recite the entire thing in your head because it's all in there somewhere.
