Description

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.

"Elvis is history," Carl Perkins once said, "and anytime anyone or anything becomes history, whether it be Pearl Harbor or Elvis, it will never go away. The world will never tire of his songs." TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography.
