Description

On this super special episode of TCBCast, many of our Patreon backers who have had the chance to see Baz Luhrmann's Elvis sent in their reactions to the movie, both emailed and recorded. You'll get to hear a wide range of thoughtful opinions on the movie from the Elvis fans who are among our most engaged listeners and supporters. Then, as a book-end to TCBCast 222 with Bill Bryan, Justin sits down with Anna, the woman responsible for Austin Butler News, the longest-running, #1 source on all things Austin Butler since 2013. Together, they discuss Austin's brief career leading up to his shouldering the weight of expectation by taking the role of Elvis Presley. We also get a glimpse inside of what a casual Elvis fan whose world does not constantly revolve around debates over things that happened 70 years ago thinks - not just about the movie, but about Elvis as a cultural figure, his music, the similarities and differences between fandoms of Elvis's day and today, and how Austin's performance may impact fans for years to come. If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast. Your support allows us to continue to provide thoughtful, provocative, challenging and well-researched perspectives on Elvis's career, his peers and influences, and his cultural impact and legacy.

"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. TCBCast is not associated with or endorsed by Graceland, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Authentic Brands Group or Sony.
