Viva Pod Vegas is back with Frankie and Johnny, the first non-cowboy period piece in Elvis Presley’s filmography! After some long overdue email reads, we welcome Col. Tom Parker back to the podcast to sort our way through some more terrible taglines that miss the mark. We talk about whether or not this is THE Nellie Bly, whether or not the Dixieland music fits the movie, and whether or not the meta approach to the story works in 1966. We discuss Elvis as a degenerate gambler, the Gibson Girl, and “Elvis’s bulge.” We try to make sense of the core love stories in this movie, revel in how Elvis movies lean into cinematic cliches, and try to figure out if Frankie and Johnny (the characters) have a happy ending. We retire the “best Elvis song” and are forced to pick a new one. We play our other games and discuss recent Riley Keough projects.
