Lights, camera… romance(?!) Wade and Burl dive into NBC's Sunday Night Big Event, Elvis and the Beauty Queen—the 1981 made-for-TV melodrama starring Stephanie Zimbalist as Linda Thompson and Don Johnson as Elvis. With low production values, high drama, and commercials that may be more entertaining than the movie itself, this one's a real time capsule.

Step right up! Wade and Burl are selling tickets to the history of Libertyland, the Memphis-based amusement park that Elvis regularly rented out for nocturnal adventures. Thrill to the dizzying peaks and terrifying valleys of Elvis's favorite roller coaster, The Zippin' Pippin, the ancient wooden behemoth that is somehow still around! Make no mistake, this episode is all about thrills, nostalgia, and corndogs! Was Elvis a funnel cake guy… or did he go for elephant ears? Was Charlie Hodge even tall enough to ride the rides?

If you're looking for a podcast, you came to the right place! Wade and Burl discuss King Creole! Not only is it Elvis's last black and white film, it's his last film before he was drafted into the army. Elvis plays super senior Danny Fisher who flirts with a life of crime before he's offered a job as a nightclub singer. It's a gritty musical noir set in the Big Easy with a stellar cast that features Walter Matthau, Vic Morrow and Carolyn Jones. The soundtrack has some memorable tunes including:"Trouble", the duet "Crawfish" and, Wade's favorite school song, "Steadfast, Loyal and True." Is this Elvis's best film performance?

Put the needle on the record and set your turntables to 33 1/3! Wade and Burl are discussing Elvis's 1956 debut, self-titled album "Elvis Presley." This album blends blues, country and gospel into something more than rockabilly…it's 28 minutes and 3 seconds of primordial rock and roll at its best! What it lacks in production value it makes up for in pure feral energy. See what the kids are freaking out about! Listen now!

Get your prison wallets ready! Wade and Burl are discussing Jailhouse Rock, a movie that contains 70% less jailhouse than you remember. Elvis plays the petulant and unlikable Vince Everett in his third film and second starring role. Despite being filmed so fast they barely had time to put film in the cameras, it boasted some of the most iconic music performances in Elvis's career, as well as a smattering of time-killing filler sung by costar Mickey Shaughnessy. There's only two reasons not to listen; if you're dead or in jail! And if you're in jail…break out!!

Burl and Wade are back in the building to tackle the posthumously released 1977 CBS TV special Elvis in Concert! Part historical document, part concert film, and part merchandise infomercial, Elvis in Concert was a preview to where the Elvis industry was heading. We discuss the setlist, speculate on the back stories of interview subjects, and provide an exhaustive sob-by-sob analysis of the most depressing interview Vernon ever gave. We've got a new sponsor on deck, a mind-boggling Would You Believe? and a Wade Back Machine that will have you wanting to live at home and have a fairly good job at the post office. Suspicious Minds Season 3 starts here; we're honest and we've got vibes!

In the season two finale, Wade and Burl discuss "Priscilla," the Sofia Coppola biopic based on the the book, "Elvis and Me" by Priscilla Presley. It's a peak beneath the bouffant into the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla from 1959 until their divorce in 1973. Wade tries to school Burl on the aesthetics of liminal spaces and the two discuss what KISS songs should have made the soundtrack. Will Wade and Burl team up for season three?
