  • The Trouble with Girls (1969)

    The Trouble with Girls (1969)
    Jul 7 2025
    It's time for The Trouble with Girls: a good title that does not describe its action at all and, sadly, Elvis's penultimate film. After getting some more advice about what to cover next, we run through the film's wild cast and lament how almost none of the many high profile actors spend any time interacting with one another. We also talk through this film's troubled production history (and the source novel that must be better than this), get sad about the unfortunate placement in Elvis's film career (at least for our purposes), and debate whether this is really the only movie where Elvis doesn't fight. Was cannibalism a popular topic in 1927? What is a Chautauqua? We try to find answers. We talk also talk about the tonal shifts that must have been difficult for everyone involved, the the unexpected and illogical murder plot, and why it opens with so many child auditions if they're never going to pop up again. We find new ground with our games at the end of the episode and look ahead to our final movie, Change of Habit.

  • Charro! (1969)

    Charro! (1969)
    May 30 2025
    We have made it to 1969, the final year of Elvis Presley's film career, and we're kicking things off with Charro! This means we have just two movies to go, but we may have finally accomplished something special: did we finally find a good tagline? We talk about how Charro! is a movie featuring no songs (other than the title/theme song) sung by Elvis, the movie's truly wild alternate titles, and how hyper-violent (and overly sexual) it is (at least for an Elvis movie). We explore how Charro! exists at seemingly at a pivot point in Elvis's film career, which makes the fact that the end is nigh a bit depressing. We imagine Elvis as the star of a 1960s Western TV series. Mike explains how this movie is similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and how Elvis's sense of morality and justice in the movie is akin to Superman. We play our normal games at the end of the episode, but they hit a bit different this time, given the lack of music in this movie. We guess what The Trouble with Girls will be about. Is it going to be a stinker? We're worried!

  • 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!
