In I Met the Walrus, you get to hear a thoughtful and relaxed John Lennon explain his world-view to 14 year-old Jerry Levitan who had snuck into the Beatle’s hotel room with a reel-to-reel tape recorder and interviewed him. This ingenious animated short by Josh Raskin takes you into the world of Lennon, even if it doesn’t explain what he meant by the lyrics: “Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye/Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess/Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down.”
