Justin is joined by special guest Rabia for a broad discussion and re-assessment of Elvis's time in Hollywood. They cover some of Elvis's best and most underwhelming performances, memorable costars, scenes and songs, insights on history and cultural changes be mined from the films and their crews, and how to contend with acknowledging the elephant in the room that is 1968's "Stay Away, Joe." (Spoilers: there's no easy or comfortable way.)
For Song of the Week, Rabia selects Elvis's lengthy 1971 covers of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" as well as discussing her experience of seeing Dylan himself perform it live. Justin follows up by trying to make a case for "Goin' Home," the song Elvis once described as "the worst f**king song I've ever heard in my life," recorded for but cut from "Stay Away Joe" then relegated to the "Speedway" soundtrack.
