Description

Author, "Talking Elvis" co-host and past TCBCast guest Vince Wright returns to the show to discuss his latest effort, "8MM Elvis," with Gurdip. "8MM Elvis" is a book cataloguing and documenting the long-forgotten and neglected history of home 8MM releases of Elvis footage in the pre-VHS era. After catching up on what Vince has been up to in the last couple years since his previous TCBCast appearance, Gurdip follows Vince through his history as a longtime collector and enthusiast of this ephemeral viewing format of days gone by. From rare, trimmed-down edits of Elvis's feature films to bootleg copies of 68 Comeback Special outtakes, it's a fascinating discussion - plus, Gurdip challenges Vince to a bit of Elvis trivia! Then, you get to hear a sampling of "Songs of the Month" from our Patreon-exclusive spinoff TCBCast Now, as Gurdip and David "Ghosty" Wills of "We Say Yeah: A Cliff Richard Fan Podcast" cover the histories behind two songs from Elvis' peers: Jackie Wilson's 1958 recording "Right Now" and Sir Cliff's 1962 take on Jerry Lee Lewis' "It'll Be Me," respectively.  To learn more or order Vince's book 8mm Elvis, please visit www.8mmelvis.com

"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.
