Mother! Murderer! Podcaster!Elvis and Me: Sophia Coppola's Priscilla and the 1988 TV Movie Based on the Same Book!Sophia Coppola's 2023 biopic "Priscilla," starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, wasn't the first film about Priscilla Presley!

"Elvis and Me" went deeper and darker than "Priscilla," showing a version of Elvis Presley who was more abusive and cruel than Jacob Elordi's portrayal of the star as an overgrown manchild.
Katie and Louis dive into why Sophia Coppola softened the story's edges, and how society's view of Elvis and Priscilla's relationship has slowly shifted from "grand romance"...

TOASTSouthern Portugal on a ShoestringFull video:https://youtu.be/clFq20RdBPwThe beauty of the Algarve region is impossible to overrate. Looking back on some of my experiences I realized how happy I am that next time I visit I'll be able to converse (once I practice the EU pronunciation rules) with the locals and drastically modify my experience. . Leaving for a year abroad in early 2017 made me a little... frugal. . Luckily I have no issues making friends and traveling budget friendly when I'm alone so I made it all work out. .

Luckily, I didn't need to worry about missing this one as it's a worldwide cultural phenomena (season?) that I wouldn't have missed even if I had been in North Korea.
