On November 22, 1961, 60 years ago to the day from the release of this podcast, "Blue Hawaii" released into theatres. Its soundtrack album had already come out one month earlier and both were destined to become among the most commercially successful and well-loved of all narrative films and soundtracks featuring Elvis Presley.
On this very special 60th anniversary bonus, TCBCast listeners get to hear an example of an episode from Justin's revived video essay series "Blue Suede Reviews." Taking Elvis's cinematic career seriously while presenting with heart and humor, "BSR" thoroughly examines how each of Elvis's films were made, the creative teams and performers behind them, themes and ideas contained within that have been overlooked or written off, how each fit into both Elvis's filmography and career overall as well as a wider cultural context, and ultimately re-assessing through a contemporary lens.
New episodes of Blue Suede Reviews and hours of early access and bonus podcast episodes are available exclusively every single month to supporters at Patreon.com/TCBCast. If you enjoyed this review, please consider supporting, if you can. If you are unable to support us via Patreon, but want to support us another way, please make sure to share this special review with another Elvis film enthusiast who might enjoy it.
