<p>I made this podcast when the movie Elivs was released in 2022. Now that it is nominated for Oscar awards, many of which it deserves - happily however Baz wasn't nominated as a director or as a screenplay writer - but I stand over my assertion that the movie ultimately betrays the soul of Elvis Presley. His real story is infinitely more fascinating and too deep for Baz to explore. This podcast has led to me being attacked verbally by many of my fellow Elvis fans. So be it. I say what I believe. </p>
