Wild in the Country (1961)

The Viva Pod Vegas train is back on the tracks with another (surprise?!) dramatic Elvis Presley performance in Wild in the Country! After talking about the (not great) title (and a better alternative), we dive deep into the unbelievability of the plot in Wild in the Country, and the absolutely crazy way that the movie begins. We also talk about parallels to The Godfather: Part III, the many (many, many…) characters in the movie, and what this movie made us hope we see in future Elvis movies. We also review our guesses for this movie (including Mike’s shockingly accurate ideas) and see what Riley Keough has coming out in the next few months. We also sort of preview our next movie, Blue Hawaii, even though one of us may have accidentally watched it before we recorded this episode. (You’ll have to listen to find out who that was!)
