Episode 20: John Carpenter Watch Series #5 (ELVIS, 1979)

This week on The Seat Struck Movie Podcast, Curtis and John are unfortunately Quinn-less, but we return to our John Carpenter Watch Series to discuss the made-for-TV biopic (yes, Carpenter did another one of these), ELVIS! We spend quite a bit of pre-show time talking about Elvis, both as an artist and as a larger cultural figure, before finally discussing the film and give our scores. Next, we discuss what we watched this week. Stay tuned for next episode (which will be steamed live, this Sunday the 31st) as we chat KILL BILL VOL 2!
