Justin and Bec power through a mostly spur-of-the-moment episode to read listener emails, catch up on the latest in the barrage of media around Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, including what we've heard from the soundtrack on the Red Carpets at the Cannes and London premieres.
For Song of the Week, Justin rings in Pride Month with "Riding the Rainbow" from 1962's Kid Galahad, while Bec selects "Doncha Think It's Time," a poppy track among the handful of Elvis's late 1950s pre-Army recordings.
Bec is off to see Baz Luhrmann's Elvis this weekend at the Sydney premiere - Patreon supporters will get to hear her exclusive first reactions this weekend; if you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.
