Description

Gurdip & Justin react to recent Elvis news, including Elvis' current charting holiday hits, the release of streaming data for "Agent Elvis" on Netflix for the first half of 2023, and Baz Luhrmann's statements that he intends to eventually, "one day" create an episodic version of his "Elvis" film. They guys also reflect on both the year 2023 for TCBCast, and the last six years of the show.  For Song of the Week, Gurdip selects "Long Legged Girl (With the Short Dress On)" from 1967's "Double Trouble." For Justin, the question is: how do you handle discussing "Silver Bells," one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time that everyone's heard? You try to ignore all the noise, talk about the movie it was written for, one which quite never became a perennial holiday favorite, and the songwriters' hilarious original title. We'll have one more episode of TCBCast dropping later this week - before Christmas - and it's a doozy. Stay tuned!

"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.
