It's a crossover episode, as HP joins forces with Midnight Viewing's host Father Malone to discuss the notorious 1978 flop Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  The film starred Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees as a pure-of-heart rock band fighting against the temptations of fame AND the machinations of the mysterious Future Villain Band.  Was it as terrible as its reputation would suggest?  Is it "so bad it's good", or "so bad it's bad?"  Tune in and find out!
