Our leading contributor , Gary Wells,‬ helps us get to grips with the ending to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, offering his fascinating personal take on the unexpected twist that 'slightly' tampers with history. (Spoiler warning reminder!). This was the very first segment we recorded back in 2021, and we've also added a wishful moment from our more recent discussion on Buddy Holly and the Winter Dance Party, imagining a similar rewriting of history.

In this clip sampled from our 'Beach Boys Book Club' episode, Gary recalls meeting Carl Wilson backstage at Canada's Wonderland in the early 1990s.

In the full episode, we discuss some important and fascinating books on the Beach Boys - The Nearest Faraway Place: Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys, and the Southern California Experience (1994), by Timothy White, and Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy (2016), by Mike Love with James S Hirsch. For a little additional context, we also refer to I am Brian Wilson, (2016) written by Brian himself with Ben Greenman.
