Ep. 88 - Elvis & Nixon - Movie Review

A real-life premise even Hollywood couldn't dream up: December, 1970. An uninvited Elvis shows up at the White House, requesting a meeting with President Nixon (and asking to be made a federal agent at large). The result: the most requested image in the history of the National Archives. Amazon Studios marks its theatrical debut with Elvis & Nixon (starring Michael Shannon & Kevin Spacey). Find out who liked the music (but thought there should be more meat in the meeting) and who couldn't handle the mockery.
