Description

Part 2 of the TCBCast gang's review of Elvis' 1961 movie for 20th Century FOX, "Wild in the Country," goes "wildly" off the rails as the "High Tension" and drama of the weighty back half is undercut by some giggle fits. Justin, Ryan and Bec also discuss where the known deleted songs "Lonely Man" and "Forget Me Never" would have likely slotted into the script, and offer their thoughts on the choice to change the much more downbeat ending after test audiences disapproved of the original ending, which was more faithful to the source material. Sadly, no Songs of the Week on this episode - Bec & Justin prepared information but we ran a bit long and too late into the evening for us to feature those, so you will hear our Songs of the Week on next week's episode! Next week you'll also hear more in-depth reactions to the "Reinventing Elvis" documentary, the 50th Anniversary "Aloha From Hawaii" set and more!

"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.
