Why the Flick? episodes
- 27: Elvis (2022)
Why the Flick? is *usually* a podcast cohosted by two friends and former journalists, but this week, let's make it three. Top Model Rewind podcast co-host Danielle joins Claire and Elizabeth to dive deep into the biopic of the year, Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. The trio talk about Baz's unique vision, Austin Butler's star-making performance, controversies surrounding Elvis' music and personal life, and much, much more.

By some miracle, this episode isn't three hours long. Claire and Elizabeth take you through the multiverse of directing duo the Daniels' absurd, frenetic and brilliant 2022 flick, Everything Everywhere All at Once. The co-hosts talk nihilism, family dynamics, living in the present moment and, yes, those creepy hot dog fingers.

What screams summertime more than sunshine and swimming pools? How about a killer shark wreaking havoc on a small beach town? In this episode, Claire tells us all about one of her favorite seasonal flicks, Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975). The co-host explains why the making of this classic was an actual nightmare, how it launched Spielberg's career and the aftermath of the movie's release.

Your hosts are back with two mini-reviews for your listening pleasure. Claire geeks out over the newest MCU movie to hit theaters and Elizabeth shares her thoughts on an autobiographical flick written and directed by a knight (no, really!). While these flicks are polar opposites on the surface, there's one man that ties them together.

It's Why The Flick?'s first ever minisode and the co-hosts have two *very* different, new-release movies to recommend for your queue. Elizabeth shares why she thinks you should watch the latest (and oh-so-seductive) Emma Thompson flick and Claire reviews a movie that we all knew she'd flock to see in the theaters (but her take may surprise you).
