Due to extenuating circumstances, we've had to push our previously scheduled topic back one week, and so at the last minute, Justin and Bec just decided to have a very fun, very laid back Elvis chat.
Beyond reacting to the new clips from Elliott Wheeler's "Elvis" score released this week in WB's "The Story of the Score", the hosts debate which approach to experiencing Elvis's music the first time provides better insight (chronological or at random), Bec tells us a little about her hobbies and interests outside Elvis, which leads into a discussion about movie musicals and which Elvis films fit into that mold, Justin follows up a bit more on last week's "Today" review, and there's a whole host of bits and pieces of Elvis-related chatter on albums, concerts, and more.
Hopefully this is as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record. It's not as information-dense or structured as most typical recent episodes and there's no Songs of the Week this week, but we think we still hit upon some nice insights. We'll be back next week to talk about our favorite Elvis songwriters, cover Patreon-picked Songs of the Week, and Gurdip will be back soon as well!
