Episode 20: Elvis / Musical Biopics

The Brothers put on their leather jumpsuits and hit the Vegas stage for a roundtable discussion of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, focusing on the performances of Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, the film’s kaleidoscopic editing patterns, investigation of cultural appropriation, and complex narration and use of iconography. Then, they turn their attention to other musical biopics in general and discuss how Elvis compares to other films in the genre.
