In theaters October 9.

For one extraordinary week beginning on February 14th, 1972, the revolution was televised. Daytime Revolution takes us back in time to the week that John Lennon and Yoko Ono descended upon a Philadelphia broadcasting studio to co-host the iconic Mike Douglas Show, at the time the most popular show on daytime television with an audience of 40 million viewers a week.

What followed was five unforgettable episodes of television, with Lennon and Ono at the helm and Douglas bravely keeping the show on track. Acting as both producers and hosts, Lennon and Ono handpicked their guests, including controversial choices like Yippie founder Jerry Rubin and Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, as well as political activist Ralph Nader and comic truth teller George Carlin.

Their version of daytime TV was a radical take on the traditional format, incorporating candid Q&A sessions with their transfixed audience, conversations about current issues like police violence and womenā€™s liberation, conceptual art events, and one-of-a-kind musical performances, including a unique duet with Lennon and Chuck Berry and a poignant rendition of Lennonā€™s ā€œImagine.ā€

A document of the past that speaks to our turbulent present, Daytime Revolution is a time capsule reminding us of artā€™s power to break down barriers, and the bravery of two artists who never took the easy way out as they fought for their vision of a better world.

I just made a video talking about this!! Iā€™m so excited to see more about such a unique moment in Lennon history!

What would you ask John & Yoko if you were in the audience that week? šŸ‘€
 
Iā€™ve watched this trailer several times today and Iā€™m so excited for this movie. I hope thereā€™s a soundtrack album or EP because Itā€™s So Hard and Imagine sounded so pristine and awesome!
Sean Lennon (music producer) and Sam Gannon (mixer, engineer) will be very pleased to hear you say that, as they restored and remixed the songs especially for the film.

Where can I find this video!!

I would probably ask them about how they discuss the mediums they could utilize to spread their message. Television makes so much sense for what they were trying to accomplish with this takeover, but given they could use music, performance art, and whatever else, I wonder how that conversation went down between them.

I do a series on my TikTok/IG where I go over news in the Beatles world and I mentioned it a few weeks ago when I read an article about it :)
