Better Than the Movie, Ep. 9: PRISCILLA / ELVIS AND ME w/ Collin Jonkman


Listen Later

A fairy tale romance or blatant child abuse? Today, the BTTM crew tackles another nonfiction film adaptation, Sofia Coppola's PRISCILLA, taken from the memoir ELVIS AND ME by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley and Sandra Harmon. Musician and educator Collin Jonkman helps assess the grandeur of Coppola's filmmaking, the quality of Presley's prose, and the toxicity of what could be described as a "May-February romance." Collin, Allan, Tyler, and Justin also discuss the pitfalls of music memoirs and biopics.


Produced by Justin Remer and Allan Traylor.

Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire 

Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band
