TCBCast Bonus Movie Review - Elvis and the Colonel: The Untold Story (1993)

Originally recorded in August 2022 as a TCBCast Patreon exclusive, Bec and Justin sit down with the 1993 NBC TV movie "Elvis and the Colonel: The Untold Story," starring Rob Youngblood as Elvis and Beau Bridges as Colonel Parker, directed by William Graham, the real director behind Elvis's own 1969 movie "Change of Habit."  Recorded a mere two months after the release of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, watching this first attempt at a biopic about Elvis through the lens of Colonel Parker ends up feeling like watching a low-budget knock-off despite arriving almost 30 years earlier. Our duo (including one host who watched it twice in preparation) tries to give the attempt its best case possible, giving it as much leeway as other, more beloved depictions... but if you haven't seen this unintentionally hilarious project before, it has to be seen to be believed!  If you enjoyed this, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast!
