Why Was Frank Sinatra So Unique? Joe Piscopo Explains
"Ask you, I mean, we've got this image of what you do on Sundays and how you celebrate Frank Sinatra, the music of Frank Sinatra. I'm just going to stop for a second. Why was he so unique because he doesn't fit into the classic mold of the crooner. He wasn't the classic look, he wasn't the teeny barber heartthrob, his delivery emotionally. The voice was everything for me. You know him far better than anyone else because he's paid tribute to him at every week. Talk to us a little bit about Sinatra and why to this day across every spectrum age group demographic, he just still has that like Elvis. He just has that grip on us. That's right, exactly. You just described it because he wasn't a he didn't have the movie star looks. Think about it. He just had a, he was a guy. He was a guy's guy. When alpha males were okay to be alpha male. And he had swagger, and he owned it. And as I study him more and more on that Sundays with Sinatra's show, I could see and I go down and I could hear in his voice. He would take a song. And herein lies why people still find him. I think so appealing. He performed a play, took that three minutes of a song. And it became an epic a piece of theater. Yeah. And when you hear it, he every nuance of every lyric, he would caress it, and feel it in his heart and in his soul. And

Arthur Aidala: 'Never Play Politics With People's Lives'
"Arthur idala is one of the best lawyers in America. He's a New York City trial attorney, joins us from New York City where I will be in just a few hours to cover all of this next week in Lower Manhattan. What size free Trump T-shirt should I get you? Should I order you counselor? Well, I'm thinking it's probably going to, this is going to plot in the phrase Trump Frank Sinatra's mugshot, which is a pretty popular mug shot for decades, but I think Elvis Presley's got one out there as well. Look, I've lived in this world. I grew up in this world. My dad was an assistant district attorney in the Manhattan DA's office under the DA who was called Frank Hogan. He was there for three decades plus. And, you know, Frank Hogan had an expression and he said, never play politics with people's lives. And in this particular case, Alvin Bragg is not just playing politics with Donald Trump's life. He's playing politics with the American lives because on so many levels. But on the most obvious one is people may want to vote for him for president of the United States. Now this does not eliminate him from running for president of the United States. What it definitely puts up speed bump in his path. If anyone could turn lemons into lemonade, there's no one better at it than Donald Trump. He'll figure out as you just said, some way to make this mug shot into something positive for his reelection. But it's just not how the system is supposed to work, Mike. And that's the bummer of this hope.

Isabel Brown: Gen Z Is Rebelling Against Cultural Norms
"Interesting to hear you say that you're hopeful here because I am too I say to people all the time I'm long in the United States And we've heard apocalyptic talk It's about you know as well as I do You can watch me man when Elvis came oh my gosh he's shaking his hips A whole generation of kids are going to be lost I mean we've heard these apocalyptic warnings before that this is a unique threat that these kids are definitely lost but you say say you're hopeful What specifically gives you hope I am in the mix of the insanity that we're dealing with every day I always like to tell people that we're living in the upside down similar to Stranger Things and a reality where up is down and down is up and men or women and women or men and everything has been turned upside down on a tent in American culture But in the midst of all of these lives that are propagated by the progressive left which has effectively taken over every pillar of American culture and society from education to entertainment to politics to even the church in America today Gen Z is doing what young people do best We're rebelling against what cultural norms tell us is good or rebelling against the idea that men need to become women or women need to be subservient to men in modern feminism to succeed that hookup culture is what we should be striving to that we need a four year college degree And I don't know underwater lesbian basket weaving and instead we're embracing entrepreneurship at astounding rates we're returning to religion and the big questions about the world at astounding rights and we're rejecting the lives of hookup culture or gender theory critical race theory with an astounding rate each and every day Truly Gen Z is just doing what young people do best rebelling against those that came before us It just so happens that the best way to be countercultural in modern America is to be a punk rock patriot that stands in objective truth In this world rejecting objective truth Amen

Pat Boone Shares a Story About Elvis and Lisa Marie
"I remember, I don't know, it's got to be close to like 15 years ago or something. When Elizabeth Taylor passed away and Dick Cavett, who I'm privileged to call a friend as I call you friend, he was interviewed on, I don't know what it was. I don't think Larry King was on anymore. But it was one of those shows and he was being asked about Liz Taylor and he said, yeah, she's like the last of the redwoods from that Hollywood era. She's the last one. But he said, but, you know, we shouldn't envy these people because he knew the behind the scenes story that addicted to drugs innumerable failed marriages, alcoholism. I mean, a level of misery that is mostly hidden from the public or it's sold in the tabloids as part of their fun, crazy life. But you know these people as people and you realize it sells itself records, it sells movies, but it destroys lives. It's heartbreaking. Yeah, when Lisa Marie. Died recently and her own son had died of a drug overdose. And I'd been with her just a month before with Priscilla. It was at the 45th anniversary of Elvis's death. And of course, there were still people coming from around the world as they do every year in August. And there's a shrine that was on Elvis at his at his home site. And it's almost like they're coming to commemorate saint Elvis. Because for sure. And he was gone and so they just can't let him go. Well, then in the shadow of all of that, talk about the valley of the shadow of death. Lisa Marie's son died, and then of drugs, and then she died of a heart attack. And I made the statement because I loved them all. I had just been with them. Celebrating, you know, Elvis life. And to some extent, his death, and I made the statement that supreme fantastic success can often be more dangerous, the sudden success than long lives in poverty.

Pat Boone Has Always Been a Beacon of Wholesomeness
"Fascinating that at that young age, you were presented as this image of a wholesomeness and already in the 50s. Look, this is just the way of the world. The dark side is always attractive. And people don't understand what they're getting into. You know, you kind of think like, wow, Elvis Presley, the idea that he died of a drug overdose bloated Iraq at age 42. It breaks your heart. How many of those people they trod that path? And they died so young whether they were talking to Jimi Hendrix or anybody, any name, you know, Jim Morrison. I mean, on and on and on and on and you represent it obviously something very, very different. And The Rolling Stones and even The Beatles, if they were experimenting with drugs, they were very wealthy, and they could go to Switzerland and then have their blood transfused. Yes, Keith Richards famously had to get a blood transfusion because he was so loaded up with drugs. He's like, not a problem. I'll just go to some clinic in Switzerland, and we'll take care of that. Yeah, but kids were dying by the thousands following examples with the drugs that they couldn't afford to have their blood transfused. And people weren't even making well, there was a connection, but I mean, you know, you couldn't blame them for just sinking in their songs and living their lives the way they wanted to. But the fallout from it was too bad. It was very unfortunate. And of course, here I was had four daughters living in Beverly Hills and going to church regularly and riding bestselling books of Christian principles. And yet having rock and roll records at the same time. And so I was okay.

Pat Boone Has Met Everyone, From Elvis to the Queen
"I'm talking to pat Boone. Yes, the patent. I could get any guy named pat Boone, but no, we took the trouble to track down the real pat Boone. Who has boy pat? You've met anyone I can think of. You have stories with The Beatles. You did business with The Beatles in the 60s. I did business with The Beatles. You met the queen twice. Yes, yes, twice, and the second time was very embarrassing. I think I did I tell you about this. You did and how many times did you walk on the moon? Be honest. Well, only once in my dreams. And it was scary, so I didn't it was a nightmare. You sung about the moon. You've met many astronauts. I mean, look, you've just met about everybody. I mean, everybody that was on the dais at the Dean Martin rose, the greatest program of all time. You've met most of those people. Yeah, and they've all made jokes about me too, and not on the roast. But just in their shows. And then they're well, because you became. You became that guy, you know, that we wanted to make fun of something wholesome we'd make fun of pat Boone. And what's the line where Dean Martin or somebody says that I shook papon's hand in my whole my whole right side sobered up? Big laugh because the audiences knew what he was talking about. Eric from the very beginning of my career where Elvis was, you know, my opening act and we've talked about that because I already had 3 million selling hits before we met and he only had one record and it was a sock hop in Cleveland. He was a punk. He was a punk, you took him out of the gutter. Is that what you're saying? No. But it was all like that. But he was considered the rebel.

Aaron Barker on What Breaks His Heart in the Songwriting Business
"We talk about it back in the day and you can go back to the big Elvis movies out right now and up for Oscars, but it goes back to Elvis and all these riders as they were in people coming up. CC 70s, there was that they were willing to give up everything. To have that shot. And then we had sort of a turn. 80s, 90s. You saw that turn. Artists were more, you know, people weren't giving up their songwriting critics. They were smarter. They were smarter than water. And now it looks like we've almost come full circle down in here. Yeah, and they're being leveraged into it. Now, I believe it was ignorance in the beginning. It was for me. I didn't know anything about publishing, and I turned out pretty good on it. I was with good people, you know, that weren't just mongers, you know? But the ignorance is what got most of the early people. I think when writers became publishers, the military system stuff, they got it kind of straightened out because I knew both sides of it. But now I think it's more of a take it or leave it, you know? If you want to be on our label, you're going to give up this, and of course, kids going to give up anything for that. That's their life. And I don't know if I can even explain what's in it for a young person that they've lived this probably most of their conscious life for that moment for a record deal. That's it. That's the end all. And it's good when it happens, even if you're giving up a lot, but the heartbreaking thing for me in Nashville as a writer, you get a lot of calls from the new guys in town. They want to write will you get that record. And I meet these people and I love them and they're so excited and just ambitious and it's all ahead of them and in weeks it can be overdone and usually there's not a second chance. That breaks my heart

1984 on Steroids With Tracy Beanz
"Tracy you have an article here, bombshell court order outlines proven government big tech censorship to tell us about it. Yes, this is Missouri versus Biden, one of the biggest cases that's going on right now in the country. It is so huge. Well, basically, the states of Missouri and Louisiana decided they were going to sue the federal government because they said the federal government was stepping in to censor American speech on a myriad of topics from COVID to vaccines to the Hunter Biden laptop to election integrity, all kinds of different stuff. They stepped in, they asked the judge if he could file a temporary injunction to stop the government agencies from discussing this stuff. Any longer with the social media companies like Twitter, Facebook, Google, all of them. So in order to get there, to grant that temporary injunction, the judge gave them expedited discovery and deposition power, which is almost unheard of generally. But to do it at such a high level of all these government agencies was absolutely bonkers. They did it. They granted it. The government kicked and screamed and fought. But ultimately, the heads of sissa, the CDC, you know, Anthony Fauci was deposed. Elvis Chan from the FBI was deposed. All these people were deposed in this case. And today we're getting the filing finally from the states of Missouri, Louisiana and various plaintiffs to make the case for that temporary injunction. The judge has already said they've basically made their case because the discovery they've received has been absolutely off the charts insane. So remember that disinformation governance board that they tried to spring up, Nina jankowitz, who's now begging for money. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, she is to sue what Fox News. Is that what she's doing? 100,000 bucks, yeah. Yeah. So she, that disinformation governance board was actually just a cover for what they're already doing at sissa. Sisa declared they learned through this lawsuit discovery. Your thoughts, cognitive infrastructure. So cisa has declared that your thoughts, the things you type on social media and what you think are part of their infrastructure. Therefore, they can regulate those things as they would any other piece of critical infrastructure that they are in charge of.

"elvis" Discussed on Cinemavino
"I'm a fan of the moving time by doing the quick spin and a newspaper hits up and it shows you what's in the news that day or what's on the magazine or whatever. I like that as a cut of a passage of time or giving you a milestone that shows you the moment. It was done way too much at the beginning. And it was too much of a frenetic pace and I was like, what's happening? I don't know where we are, what's going on. Did you know that in 1979, John Carpenter made a direct for TV movie about Elvis? It's called Elvis starring Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell, I didn't know that, yeah. I did not know that, and I need to go back and watch it, 'cause apparently it's pretty good. And that was the same year that Gary Busey played Buddy Holly, won an Oscar nomination. And the Buddy Holly story. So another good musical biopic. So you give it a 6 out of ten. Yeah. So, but anyway, this has been another episode of cinema vino. Lick hole, merlo, Columbia valley. Like Cole translates at school. So this winery is a converted schoolhouse. Well, tidbit for you. Great winery. They make good stuff. Mine's empty. But this is a Washington winery, right? So shouldn't the translation just be school? Exactly. It's called school. Yeah, just call it school. Yeah, a good winery. I would recommend it. It's about $30. It's gone up in price over the years, but it's still a great model. Yeah. I'd recommend it entirely. I'm assuming Travis is going to break all the wine glasses, but we're going to see. Cost of the trade, man. Exactly. It's what we call breakage in the business. Operational cost. It's overhead Todd wafford. Sean Jordan. Hi, guys, bud. Yo hoi. Wait, can we all get one last Elvis impression? I guess we were 6 out of ten. Oh, thank you very much. It's mediocre. Just like those impressions. Yeah. But great movies, drunk, probably. By this point. But yeah, we will see you guys. Next time. So take us lazy. Love you. Cinema vena was brought to you by bark box.

"elvis" Discussed on Cinemavino
"Yada, yada, yada, and so I've told people who have asked me about this movie. It's like, if you don't know anything about Elvis and you're not a fan, you'll probably enjoy it more. If you actually are an Elvis fan or know anything about his life, you will walk away very frustrated by what you see because it's like you feel like man you're missing the good stuff. It's like your skim on the surface and you're missing like the good parts of his life. So I don't know. It was a disappointment across the board for me. Would you consider yourself a big Elvis fan? I'm not a huge Elvis fan. My dad was an enormous fan. I mean, we still have like vintage Elvis records out of my house. I like I was the music. I enjoy it. And I always have. I'm not a big fanatic of it, but it's like, I kind of learned about him through osmosis. And through kind of contact high that my dad had for him. So I enjoy it, and I know a lot about him because of that. And so this movie was a disappointment for that reason. I think in second grade, I did a presentation where I had to dress up as Elvis. I had to dress up as some influential character income to school. I did Elvis. I came with a guitar and I did an open shirt and ain't nothing but a hound dog. Nice. Nice. I didn't actually play it. I just sort of like mouthed it while it's saying on a tape. I bet you were adorable. I was adorable. I was 7. I am the reason why McDonald's no longer has jukeboxes in their restaurants. I believe on some trip from either you are influential from Tulsa to Dallas maybe one time. My family and I stopped in at a McDonald's or maybe it was on our way to or from New Mexico. I don't know. Either way, we stopped in at this McDonald's to eat. And they had two boxes. I was like, no way, this is awesome. And mom dad and whoever, I don't know if we were with friends of theirs, but I kept asking for quarters.

"elvis" Discussed on Cinemavino
"He definitely has a style to him. He does. This is a supercharged, I'm giving you my notes from watching the movie originally. Supercharged stylized biography of Elvis Presley, very, very loosely based on real life. Lehman follows Elvis from an upcoming teen heartthrob in Tennessee to global superstar all the way to a burned out blurry eyed shell himself. Story is viewed mainly through the eyes of colonel Tom Parker, he's played by Tom Hanks, who is a shady opportunistic showman whose titles into the role of a lifetime Elvis manager. Parker essentially works on two fronts, strengthening Pressley's image, career and legacy with a total commitment while also shamelessly exploiting Presley's talent charisma and eager to please attitude to his own great benefit and profit. As much as half of Presley's profits in his lifetime went directly to Parker, which was unprecedented for a show business manager. So that's what I have for my notes. And I'm curious, we'll start with you on this time. What did you think of this film? Ew. What did I think? I did not like this movie. I feel like this was a waste of Tom Hanks. Like his character was just nonexistent in the movie. He was kind of like an underlying force that was there the whole time. He was a conduit. But he was such a flat character the way they wrote him. There was no way for Tom Hanks to do anything with this character that could show off his chops. You know? The acting just topped to bottom was just okay. I did think that the actor playing Elvis crushed it. He was a great Elvis. Tough role. Yeah. It's hard to do a biopic on anybody that says large as Elvis. Yeah, you're stuck in a rock and a hard place where it's like you can't do, you know, you have to bring out the emotions and the depth of the character without doing a full on Vegas. Thank you very much. You know, you can't do what we do. He's a character that's been impersonated so much. That it's like a joke to be an impersonator of all this, right? So to do a convincing almost tough. Yeah. I'm still upset that it's not pronounced biopic. I am too. Why is that? Why is it not a biopsy? Because there's biopsy, and it looks like it should be biopic. And it's like my eye look like your eyesight. Yeah. Biopic is dumb. Yeah, it sounds like you're stopping in the middle. You're right. I'm calling it a biopic. It sounds Americanized. It sounds like the U.S. is bastardized. I would imagine somewhere in some meeting. They decided that rhymes with myopic, which is a vision problem. So they don't want to create the answer. That's what I have. Yeah, they don't want to create the idea. Well, you know, we're short sided, so we're just going to call it myopic. Or biopic. Well, I personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with being short sighted. So screw you guys. People who decided on biopic. Yeah. I'm going to start saying that I am myopic. This is a biopic. My eyes are myopic. God. So just the acting top to bottom was just like pretty bad. The guy playing Elvis was great. What's the name Austin? Butler. Thought I went to high school with that guy. Kind of feels like it's going to be hard for him to get cast as anything other than that was random. Elvis, right? Just the name. It sounds like a very generic name. I was going to, I was like, okay, I'm going to talk about it in the podcast.

Nashville Songwriters Association's Bart Herbison on Gordon Lightfoot
"Tell you, Gordon Lightfoot story. So we used to we have the world's largest songwriters festival late March early April. You've been ten pants out. We do a hundred shows, 400 riders, and 5 nights. We take over the town, and it's amazing. And one of my favorite parts is you never know who's going to show up. But we used to kick it off. We don't do it anymore for a lot of reasons. With the legend show. And this night it was Gordon Lightfoot, Donna Summer. I think kitty wells. It's just potpourri through time of fantastic songwriters, songwriter artist. And I think Gordon would acknowledge this. Gordon, you know, he's been doing this for 50 something years. So he agrees to do it, but look, he doesn't really have a relationship with us. He does it because of the other songwriters who are going to be on that Bill. I think America was on that Bill. It was an unbelievable show. And so it was a little high maintenance. Gordon goes, I need private jets. I need this and we just can't do it. So he ends up paying his own way down there. And it was in the tens of thousands. And like, go to my dressing room, whatever. Until the show started. And he walks out of the dress and I saw him watched on a summer, I saw him watch kitty wells, and he started crying. Because Bart, Bart, this is why I did it in the first place. I hadn't felt this in years. And so he does his gig, stunning. He goes back and calls me the next morning in Canada, and we're both a little weepy and he goes. At least for a moment, it took me back to why I did this in the first place. And that just meant so much to me because as you know, we're a songwriter town. And the artistry and the staging and the big stadiums and the smoke bombs. But when it's just you and a guitar, there's something emotional about that and Gordon felt it. I am proud we made him feel that for a night.

Bart Herbison and Doug Share Stories About Elvis
"And I share a my birthday in his death day. August 16th. August 16th, he died on my birthday. And I told the story the other day on one of the podcasts about my next door neighbor Beatty, who, again, lucky you loved Elvis and everything and she came running across all my birthday party. He's dead, he's dead. He's dead. We thought it was. I mean, I thought of her husband and died and it was Betty talking about Elvis and died. And so, you know, the sharing this. So the last part where they actually showed real video of him in those last concerts where he was bloated. He was there. I mean, some of those actually, those are memories are not memories for me. Those are actually, I saw those concerts. That's all. So it was really, really interesting to just see. Well, one last Elvis plug and a story. Peter go around a controversial author. And he was very controversial when he wrote to John Lennon book and the Elvis book too. There's two Elvis books, careless love, and last train of Memphis. There are over a thousand pages, and they're so thorough. It's like he was in the room, so he tells everything good, bad and different. And I particularly love a lot of the stories he told in the famous RCA studio B across the street from my headquarters. And here's one. I got the privilege of knowing Chad Atkins a little bit. One of my mentors, the late Joe Talbot, took me to launch at a place called I forget what it was mauds down on music grow. It's not there anymore. And chat was there. They had a standing launch every Friday they were in town. I couldn't make this up. He sit there playing his guitar at the table quietly. And I looked at Joe and he goes, that's why he's Chad and he plays everywhere. So Chad is the only major artist I've ever heard of that wanted a closing act. Chet went to bed at 8 o'clock if he could. 8 30, he was a country farmer, got up in the wee hours, three or 4 o'clock in the morning. And so Elvis is showing up late or wants to record at ten, 11, 12 may not show up, sits in their place gospel songs all night, and he can't stay awake at 2 o'clock in the morning. So he calls Elvis's team and RCA and goes, look, I like the kid. And at that time, Nashville did not embrace Elvis. They threw him off the grand Ole opry. They didn't know what he was. But Chet liked him and saw that he was about to change music, but he said, I don't care. 11 o'clock tonight, I don't remember if it was four or 5 songs we do them and we're out.

Nashville's Bart Herbison Talks Zoom Songwriting
"I've noticed on their instagrams I do a lot of the zoom kind of collabs. Is that catching on? Is that saying? Or is that harder to do? It depends. So are we actually on the podcast? Yeah, you're not going to tell you a great story about the ASCAP songwriter of the century Craig wiseman. And your friend, our former president, the great Lee Thomas Miller. So we're a few months into the zoom thing. And it's a little weird because of the music part. You can change your settings, but there's a little bit of a delay. I just don't believe there's any energy like personally being in the room. So I honestly Miller, I went, how's it going? It goes at pins. So what are you talking about? And he names a couple riders. He goes, it just ain't working. And I said, he goes, but wiseman, because Craig is known to be in the room, I'll be right back, Doug, and he never comes back. So he goes, we wrote three songs in a week. I've got him hostage, but I think a lot of people are doing it mainly for the convenience. If you live pretty far apart, if you're collaborating with somebody in LA and you're in Nashville. So it's still occurs frequently.

"Kills it. Part of the fantasy like Elvis is the fantasy, right? It's like you have to commit. If you don't believe, if butler doesn't do it right, the whole film kind of falls apart. And I mean that in the visual way, not so much in a line for line way. If he doesn't nail the physicality the whole thing falls apart. Now, I do agree he does kill it. But what about Elvis the human? Because I will say that the few moments where I feel like the film asks us to reckon with Elvis the human, that doesn't come across quite as strongly and if anything it takes me out of the fantasy to have to reckon with the specificity of his character. Well, that sounds not very believable when he's crying over his mother's dresses in the closet. That was about the only time I had thought trying too hard here, not really involving even sorrow or you see him when he's on the shows, talk about it. He's lost his mother at the same age as Elvis. And it allowed him to step into that moment. But then actually, when you see that in the film, it doesn't come across. No, it's almost, maybe unkind to say, but when he's talking, it's not working. When he's dancing, it's working. When he's walking, when he's strutting, when he's wearing a sport coat, it works. But the minute the talking starts, the minute the talking starts at all, starts to collapse a little bit. And I think it's probably wise that there are long stretches of this film where I feel like he's not doing too much talking. I think he's quite good when he does confront the kernel from the stage. And when he confronts him as he's going out to the parking lot in the hotel, even though those events didn't really happen that way, I think that Austin, as an actor, is strongest in those moments. Back to the real Elvis, he's appeal is rooted in his originality in the depth of his artistry and his sexual daring in his exotic looks and sound. I mean, he was almost equal parts of male and female white and black. And then the early days country and blues. He's all things meaningful and fanciful that just swirl in our imaginations all the time. And I have to say when Austin butler is performing, he is Elvis. Do you feel like after this film, is it just useless like no one else should try to make an Elvis? Fictionalized Elvis film after this. You know what I mean? Because what can you really do? The only option I feel is to do something that's like very sober. As much as this is a theatrical hyperreal film to do something that's literal and almost like microscopically accurate. That's maybe the only pathway left. And probably something done by another European and something on a very small scale instead of doing something huge, take it down. And I do think that they haven't gotten the kernel yet. You know, he just wasn't really that guy that we saw. So I'd love to see another exploration of colonel and Elvis together that was maybe black and white, for example. Interesting, interesting. And also that notion that it should be a smaller film. I agree, 'cause you can't compete with this on scale. It's just not possible. You have to strike out completely different territory, different pathway altogether. Are there any specific moments after having seen it now a few times? They're really do you stick with you in a positive way. And you look at it as a historian and say, that's the true spirit. Both of Elvis, of Tom Parker, what sticks in your mind nowadays later? Well, I think for Elvis, the arc of his story wreaks true. The spirit of that young fellow who, as we see in the film, in the Ferris wheel scene, he's ready to fly. But then, of course, we see what happens at the end, but that very poignant language from Tennessee Williams to the fugitive kind about the bird with no legs. I do think that his struggle is inability to break away from the stronghold of the colonel. And of his father also, really, who's the cahoots with the colonel, and also of his inability to handle fame, rings true. What you don't see is Elvis, the man, never really mature much beyond the age of 18. The only time he really tried to grow, I think, was in his readings of spiritual texts. And to figure out what there was beyond this world. Other than that, his world is very small and juvenile really. But we don't see that in the film, but the colonel, I think that I was very disappointed in Tom Hanks portrayal, beginning with the accent. Where he's really good. It's when he's in negotiations with a we're supposed to believe it's a mob there in Las Vegas about Elvis's ongoing career there the international hotel. They're Hank's really, you really see him the gift that he has, I think. I do think the accent for what it's worth, maybe it's almost intentionally a little bit bad because again, I do think there's this meta narrative pulsing through the Hanks portrayal. You're never supposed to be comfortable that that's a fully embodied character. You're supposed to be mindful that he's playing the part. Whereas with Elvis, I do think you're supposed to get lost in butler's portrayal. You're supposed to sign on. And say, ah, that's Elvis. But with Hanks, he's both the second protagonist in the film. He is the narrator of the film, the character of Tom Parker is the narrator of the film, and then Tom Hanks is like somewhere underneath there being like, yeah, it's me, it's Tom. So I do think the accent is meant to be a little bit like, um, that's odd. It's meant to make you never make you comfortable. Yes, I asked basil Herman about the accent. And he said, well, he wanted to emphasize the strangeness of this character. Who is he really? But then that's the whole support for two reasons. It's not consistent. Sometimes in the film. Definitely Bailey uses it in other times. It's very prominent. And then the other thing is that Elvis is supposed to be so surprised to find that colonel is not an American. I mean, he would really have had to have had a tenure not to pick up on that accent. Really? Again, it all works in the fantasy land. That's right. It does. As we go out, is there a particular whether it's a performance from the film or an old Elvis song that's special to you that we can play over the closing credits? Oh gosh, you know, the one that kernel liked was, are you lonesome tonight? But my favorite is baby let's play house. I like that hiccuping rockabilly. To me, that is the essential early Elvis that shows how exciting and electrifying he was. And also a great moment in the film. Yes. Okay, we'll go out with that. That is our show.

"And I felt like that was represented in the visuals as well. Yeah, I think that's right. And again, it's like you're comparing against the memory of the lore that has been passed down or lived through because neither of us really lived through prime Elvis period. But I was surprised at how late in the film they got to tragic Elvis era, because when you think of something that's cinematic, you think of this great tragic narrative, I would think you'd want to significant time devoted to the downfall, but it did feel like they got to it late. They compressed it and then he's gone. Yeah, it's strange that way, 'cause the way the structure works is you have the rise, and then you have the comeback. Bigger than the rise in a weird way, like in the film bigger than the rise. Bigger than the rise. And the taping of the Christmas special and the vagus Elvis. And I think that maybe that Vegas office says, you were saying before, Vegas Elvis is in the bosler and sweet spot in a big way because it's still he's still doing rock and roll, but he's also doing gospel choirs. He's also in Las Vegas. He's also doing these crazy television effects and that spectacle more than even the Texarkana town hall or whatever that venue was back in the south is a much more lerman esque place. But then it has run out of room when you're getting to the downfall, but it just may be also that there's a choice that people our age or younger know late Elvis fat Elvis tragic Elvis ridiculous Elvis, the best. And if we have an image of Elvis, it's in the white suit with the scarf with his paunch kind of hanging out and the big sideburns. Like that's the only Elvis that I knew in my life. And I think that a lot of this movie is trying to undo that and to counteract that and to say, well, yes, but, you know, for most of the time, there was this other person who is actually a lot more interesting. In the end, even though this film ends on a down note, obviously, you know, he dies at 42. I don't know, maybe I'm done well a person. I don't know. But I couldn't help but feel a little exhilarated, even at the end of the movie. Because I felt like the luhrmann approach to literally all this life and even his death, the radicalism, the juxtaposition, the messiness of it, even if he did clean up parts of the story, is it naive to say that sometimes popular culture, popular politics culture, is it's messy, it's sloppy, but it's still merits this kind of ambitious, glorified, overwrought, hyper real, expertly visaged treatment. That's how it felt to me. I didn't feel like damn. This really missed the point on parts of Elvis's legacy, although I feel like it did on a pure literal level, but I thought this is one Elvis movie about I'm sure several. And of course countless books, articles. Album, tributes, et cetera, a figure like Elvis, merits a treatment like this and lorem and is unlikely to have another subject that's an individual that's quite this rich. I think that's right. I am more for this movie than against it. There were things that frustrated me about it, and that didn't quite work for me, but compared to just about any other musical biopic, except for maybe Todd Haynes, I'm not there, which similarly is an explosion or subversion of the expectations of the genre. I would much rather something like this because precisely because of what you're saying, it's trying not to replicate the career or to find the real person or in a way to tell the truth, but to find an aesthetic wavelength on which this career and this person and this music makes sense. And it's baz luhrmann's wavelength. The thing that I appreciate about his movies is that they're always canonical works for situations on his own from his own aesthetic point of view. Whether he's doing Romeo and Juliet or The Great Gatsby and I appreciate that in both of those cases because I don't like reverence as a stance for the adaptation of literary works. I think that appropriation and aggression and imaginative repurposing is always much more interesting. And I think that's the case here and in a way the test of it, I feel like it's at the very end they go to the footage of Elvis in his last concert singing unchained melody, which is a tremendously moving and also just kind of awful and tragic. And he's at the end of the line, but this voice is still everything. And often when movies do that when biopics show you the real person at the end, it deflates everything that went before. You're like, oh well that you know. That's the real thing. And we've been watching this cartoon. This long cave version. Right, right, but this had actually earned this it has the opposite effect, where it's like, you're like, oh yeah, this is what you've been talking about. This is what this movie has been about. And it dovetails not because Austin butler looks exactly like Elvis Presley or because of the movie has been an authentic, biographical representation of him, but because it got him as an artist in some way that can stand next to who he actually was as an artist. When I was saying earlier that this movie feels like it takes place in the present. It takes place in your mind in the present. And it is important and this is again why Lauren is helpful or useful in this situation because memory is fluid. Even if you try to do the most faithful Elvis recreation, there'd be falsity in it because you can't actually recreate reality. So what can you do? You can improvise upon it. You can version upon it. You can innovate and expand and bend and twist it, and at a certain point, you're going far beyond faithfulness. And that's okay. Let's leave faithfulness in the rear view. Let's make a movie about the imagination that creates the memory and historical idea of this figure. That's what the movie's about. And then I think you're absolutely right situates it in the present, because anytime you're listening, I mean music does that. When you listen to music, you're listening to whenever it was recorded or wherever it came from, it is something that you are experiencing now. And movies are the same way. So I think to figure out how to get that sort of immediacy from something that belongs to the past is an enormous challenge. And I think the challenge sometimes overwhelms this movie, but I'm very interested in the way that it tackles it. And I think it's a very worthy challenge to take up. And you know, a pretty brassy one, a pretty bold ambition. Absolutely. Tony, love you and miss you. Oh, such a pleasure. So good to talk to you. We're going to come back with a Landon Nash. Let's hear a little bit of something off this. Motion picture soundtrack. It's edge of reality

"For a lot of the popular music developments of subsequent generations, the long history of pop music is often the history of negotiated tensions between white and black communities between white and black performers, often with white performers popularizing styles that were innovated by black musicians. This is a persistent issue. It's not something that the film necessarily wants to engage with at a high level, it more wants to let you know that Elvis operated from a place of reverence and appreciation, and that he was in turn appreciated by his black peers. Again, we're going to get into that a little bit later in the episode. But it is a complicated legacy and this is a film that potentially is more interested in fantasy than true legacy. Before we pivot into the conversation, I've been getting a couple of emails about challenges, finding the Discord. And to be completely fair, I have been sent a link. I have a link saved. I know how to find the Discord, but it's not easy to find maybe on your own, and maybe if you're searching for it, it's not coming up. I also saw there's a 900 people in Discord now, which hello, incredible. So let's get that number jump in. I made a tiny URL for both the Discord and the Facebook group and hoping it'll be easier to find. It is tiny URL dot com slash podcast Discord, tiny URL dot com slash podcast Facebook. The first will take you right to the Discord. Landing page, the second will take you to the Facebook group, sign up page, or request page. Hopefully that makes it easier for folks. I will try to, on subsequent episodes, remind everybody that there is a smoother path. So that said, let us get into the episode. AO Scott is here. AO, how are you, John? Tony, he's been on the show a bunch and Tony reviewed the Elvis movie and I should just come right out and say it, Tony, which is I've really enjoyed this film. And before the people are just like, oh, how could you? The problems, the historical inaccuracies. Yes, I get it. Obviously, don't come at me. Don't at me about this, but as an entertainment experience in a largely empty, bam theater. Maybe 5 other people in the theater. For someone who has not been to the movies a bunch in the last two and a half years, maybe this is like the second or third film I've seen in the theater, I actually found myself largely enraptured overjoyed. I could feel my cheekbones rising. I could feel the sweat coming out at the right moment. It was, did you feel your temperature rising? It's rising right now. If I'm being honest, just talking about it. I thought it was a success and I felt like it could have gone another half hour and I would have been fine. I found it tactile and vivid and I'm generally mixed on baz luhrmann, but an apt match of director writer and subject matter. I know you felt a little differently about that. I felt a little differently, but I agree with what you just said. And I have to say that in the context of the musical biopic genre, this has a lot going for it because the thing about buzz lurman is that he's not literal minded. He is not a realist. So the idea of getting back to the real biographical authentic Elvis Presley and showing what his life was like and where he came from and putting that in a whole arc of ruin and redemption is not interesting to bosler. And what is interesting to buzzword is sensation is what it felt like to be Elvis and to see Elvis and to live in this imaginative world that Elvis constructed around himself. And so it's very theatrical. It's very operatic. It's very over the top. And when it's doing that, when it's in the mode of high camp supercharged spectacle, it's really fun. And it's really good. And it also, I think, gets at something important about its subject. It is the correct medium, literally, the correct medium for this subject. I was trying to imagine a Elvis biopic made by a great but perhaps more conventionally minded director. I was thinking, man, it would play as pure tragedy, or it would play as pure farce, or maybe it would even play as pure sex. Who can say. But the baz luhrmann approach, as you say, not reliant upon the inconvenience of reality. Turns it into hyper real theater. It's we keep seeing in the film, we keep receiving like the outside of the casino, right? The outside of the international casino. And you think about the falsity of Vegas and kind of self invention, Elvis didn't need the casino for the self invention that Elvis is the casino. He is the invention. He is the Las Vegas of human beings. That's how this movie plays. Exactly. And also shows where that came from in a way, 'cause the precursor to Las Vegas is the world that colonel Tom Parker comes from partly of the carnivals of these sort of low rent, very cheesy traveling shows. And the thing that baz luhrmann absolutely gets right. There are some things that he doesn't in my view quite get right. But the intense vulgarity of American popular culture. And I don't mean that in a judgmental condescending way, just the excess of it is something that he's really tuned into and that he really appreciates and that he really loves and that he tries to match with his own aesthetic, which is fascinating to me because he's from Australia. He comes out of a different cultural and pop cultural tradition, but he locates the energy, both The Rock and roll energy and the Las Vegas energy, and the whole crazy americanness of Elvis Presley, which many people have written about and mused upon and analyzed in a way that I don't think filmmakers who felt more responsible about the material would have been able to do. It's nice to be irresponsible sometimes. And I should say, I have historically been mixed on lerman projects. I wrote about him for that Netflix hip hop show that he engineered the get down, which did also have this kind of like blend of fantasy and reality, but I think maybe he struggled with the part where he felt like he had to hew to the reality. That didn't necessarily telegraph as much in your review, you liken this film to a vampire movie, which is funny to me the comic book touchstones I thought were the moments of comic book referencing were important because it did play like more like almost like a conventional superhero film albeit with a sad ending. Talk to me about the vampiric aspects because in a way that is Elvis superpower. Right, right. It's constructed around his relationship with colonel Tom Parker, who's played by Tom Hanks under a mountain of prosthetic makeup with this bizarre accent because colonel Tom Parker was not actually a colonel and his name was not Tom Parker, and he was not as he claimed sometimes to be from West Virginia. He was from the Netherlands and had emigrated during the war and was a very mysterious and dishonest and corrupt character and so he's the monster in this movie. It's also a kind of a Faust story with him as mephistopheles. If Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads, Elvis Presley sold his soul to colonel Tom Parker. The gist of it. He's the nemesis. If Elvis Presley is the superhero, then the arch villain, the nemesis, the Lex Luthor to his Superman, is colonel Tom Parker. And there is just in the colors and tones and moods of the movie, there's this sinister lurid. It almost looks sometimes just with all of the deep saturated reds and the dark shadows. It almost looks like an Italian

And it's about a little bakery in lufkin texas so the bakeries called confections and the other day they posted at rainbow heart cookies and support of pride months on their facebook page and sadly as a result they ended up losing a ton of followers and someone even cancelled a five dozen cookie order. That was just finished and supposed to be picked up the very next morning. They're really small business so they needed to sell those cookies and they shared what happens on facebook and encourage people. You know maybe come by a cookie if you're a fan of ours guys. The response was insane the next morning not only did they get literally thousands of new facebook followers but they had to close because the line was down the frigging the next morning. They did it all again. There was a line around the black and they made a crap ton of rainbow heart cookies to commemorate their new supportive friends. I love the story because the only thing better than cookies and the small business succeeding born as the middle finger to an a hole. So thank you to. Everyone supported that bakery.
