Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic I scream, you scream, we all scream for Beatlemania… but maybe it’s been a while. “Beatles ’64,” the new Martin Scorsese-produced documentary on Disney+, aims to recapture the shrieks that greeted the Beatles‘ arrival on American shores at the beginning of 1964.
