  • Live a Little, Love a Little (1968)

    Live a Little, Love a Little (1968)
    May 1 2025
    Viva Pod Vegas returns with Live a Little, Love a Little -- Elvis's third and final film from 1968, and one of his most fun to date! After reading some emails suggesting things to cover in our near future -- and asking if Elvis love dogs more than anything else -- we run through the film's six (!) taglines, which Mike finds issue with. We talk about Michele Carey as a proto manic pixie dream girl, the relatively few (but truly spectacular) songs in the film, and Elvis's sort of legitimately crazy stunt work in this movie. Joey explains why he connects with this version of Elvis. We find an oddity: a bearded Elvis? We talk about the all-time great dream sequence, how Live a Little, Love a Little benefits from leaning into the weirdness and randomness, and what Elvis's film career would have looked like if he was in charge of things. We have fun with Elvis's double duty/Mrs. Doubtfire-esque scheme. We talk about this film's ties to James Bond -- including the incredible ending shot -- before playing our end of episode games and looking ahead to Charro!

  • Speedway (1968)

    Speedway (1968)
    Mar 25 2025
    Happy tax season! Viva Pod Vegas returns with Speedway, which features an almost unbelievable main storyline for Elvis. After running through the film's taglines, we talk about how Bill Bixby continues to sully his reputation and how good Elvis looks (and acts!) in this movie. We begin to understand why people condescendingly said "just number Elvis's movies" and we talk about the importance of this movie with regards to NASCAR (as well as how tough it is to watch with current sports conveniences). We wonder why Elvis doesn't have a rival, and we pitch easy fixes to the movie's plot. Does Quentin Tarantino love this movie? Why bother with any of the romance in this movie? We talk about how "the Memphis Mafia" (sort of) appears in this movie, the surprise choreographed musical number in the middle of Speedway, and why Elvis Presley chooses to wear cowboy boots while racing. We do our end-of-episode games and look ahead to Live a Little, Love a Little.

  • Stay Away, Joe (1968)

    Stay Away, Joe (1968)
    Feb 26 2025
    Viva Pod Vegas returns with Stay Away, Joe, which is the lowest-rated movie of Elvis’s career. Is it as bad as we were led to believe? Yes… and no! After Mike sifts through shoddy taglines to try to find one he approves of, we debate whether watching these movies more quickly would help or hurt us. Mike works his way through a theory about Burgess Meredith as the Penguin and Col. Tom Parker. Speaking of, what would this movie have looked like if Col. Tom Parker was involved? We ask: why isn’t there more plot? Also: why is THIS the plot? Joey notes that this feels like a video game — and Mike points out that maybe that’s not a bad thing. We talk about why Elvis hates the song “Dominick” (but loves dogs) and whether or not he’s running a bull-riding grift at the end of this movie. We break down the Stay Away, Joe wedding that Elvis doesn’t want… and then a brawl to end the movie (with sound effects that no one wants!). We set a new record in our end-of-show games and we look ahead to Speedway.
