Morgan takes over the dispensing of facts this episode. Matt takes a back seat and doesn't make enough jokes because switching roles is difficult. As for the film, it's pretty alright. It earns the second spot in our "Elvis as racecar driver" thematic trilogy ranking.

There's another Roger Ebert review to read. He's kinder this time around but still gets in some zingers. Also it can't be stressed enough how this movie's centerpiece is an elaborate musical sequence set in the offices of the IRS.

This was Elvis' personal pick for the low point of his career. So you know it's gonna be a doozy. We explain right off the bat what a clambake is and we wish it was as easy to explain this film.

There's a discussion about Christopher Columbus and you may experience déjà vu since Matt briefly mentions the original Planet of the Apes sequel again. The order of our talking points is all jumbled and we mostly go into the actual plot more in depth near the end. Then Morgan whips up a turkey analogy.

There's only so many ways we can say a movie is just kinda ok. It's not the worst but it has problems like any late period Elvis film. A subplot involving an artist commune provides the worst scene in the movie followed immediately by its best. So yeah our attention was pretty much easy come, easy go.

Morgan still hates go-go dancing. Near the end, Matt reads Roger Ebert's one star review of this picture. Then we finish by poking holes in an IMDB fact claiming Elvis met Jackie Chan. Not likely.

Double Trouble doesn't have a great reputation but we felt the wacky European caper angle was a nice change of pace. However we do agree that this contains perhaps the worst Elvis movie song even if the other tunes were nice.

Also with double the trouble comes double the tangents it seems. We discuss, among other things, our preferred tea biscuits. Our love for Saul Bass and Brian De Palma. Morgan recommends the film In Bruges and reveals her hatred of The Animaniacs. We pack a lot in this one.

Elvis never made any horror films but we're not gonna let that stop us from giving you some Halloween content. Matt decided to focus on the actresses who have shared the screen with Elvis and rattles off the horror movies they appeared in while Morgan provides quips.

Most of the gals only did one horror picture in their careers. At least four of them got paired up with Vincent Price. If nothing else, tune in for the end in which we deliver on our proposed idea to discuss The Deadly Bees (1966).

Another Elvis movie plot that's all over the place. Another podcast episode where your hosts follow suit. This one might contain our most Canadian discussion yet. It involves Jacob Two-Two and the voice of Leon's furniture ads. Elsewhere, Morgan attempts to guess which state Elvis was born in.

We like the one subplot in this film focused on an elderly couple reigniting their love for each other. Wholesomeness buried under all the usual. We end with a few Twitter shoutouts. Our fans are so nice.

The third and final film Elvis made in Hawaii. He tackles the classic adage "Never work with children or animals" and does both while in a helicopter no less. Morgan wasn't a fan. However she was a big fan of James Shigeta and his hot dad energy.

Matt gives a mini review of a film which attempted to give Roy Orbison the Elvis star vehicle treatment. It was weird. Also despite what we were led to believe about his career post-Girl Happy, Elvis does in fact briefly appear shirtless in this movie.

With one major hurdle behind us, it's back to pretty alright yet formulaic Elvis pleasantness. This week it's a little ramblin' gamblin' trip down the Mississippi River. It's also a period piece which means for the first time in a while there are interesting costumes to discuss.

Pretty standard fare. Near the end we brainstorm a whole psychological thriller movie plot out of one of the minor bits from this film and Matt gives out some free alternate podcast ideas that haven't been utilized yet.

It's the one you've all been waiting for I'm sure. Even most die-hard fans will agree that this is pretty much rock bottom, cinematically, for Elvis. We agree. At least we can put it behind us.

Given that we've got yet another movie appropriating a culture, Morgan gets to talkin' about orientalism. Matt discusses the crucial difference between a good bad movie and a movie that's just bad. Also there's a sizeable tangent where we discuss The Thin Man film series and Dashiell Hammett as a writer.

How appropriate that Elvis plays a rodeo cowboy in this one since the movie felt like it was a bucking bull trying to throw us off with its many plots. It made for strange but not unrewarding viewing and at least one scene we deemed the best gag in an Elvis film so far.

No new songs were recorded for this film so we talk a bit about the various albums they plucked the tunes from. We also get the return of Matt talking about giallo. It's really an episode as unpredictable as the movie it covers.
