27: Elvis (2022)

2 hours 10 minutes

Why the Flick? is *usually* a podcast cohosted by two friends and former journalists, but this week, let's make it three. Top Model Rewind podcast co-host Danielle joins Claire and Elizabeth to dive deep into the biopic of the year, Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. The trio talk about Baz's unique vision, Austin Butler's star-making performance, controversies surrounding Elvis' music and personal life, and much, much more.
