And introducing…the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley! We welcome Atlantic movie critic and co-host of the Blank Check podcast David Sims back to the pod to discuss Baz Lurhmann’s new biopic ELVIS. We talk about the King’s legacy, Baz’s filmography, Tom Hanks going sicko mode, whether the music biopic genre can be transcended (or if it’s been fully murdered by Walk Hard), and all the pop-culture Elvis missed. RIP Elvis, you would have loved mdma.
