All hands are on deck for our initial reactions and emergency breakdown of the second theatrical trailer for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.
Just as in our previous breakdown, we spend time exploring what creative choices indicate to us about the direction, themes and tone of the upcoming feature film, as well as provide historical context, speculation, and pointing out details you might have missed!
Plus, plenty of discussion on key topics like how the film will
tackle Elvis's relationship with Priscilla, hearty debates over
Austin Butler's singing, and the exciting release of soundtrack
details, including Eminem and Cee-Lo Green's new collab, "The King
and I."
FYI - we would not typically do this, but because we were not
expecting this trailer to drop so quickly, we are delaying TCBCast
218 to later this week so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle as we
think the topic deserves full attention as well.
