TCBCast Bonus - Elvis Has Left the Building (2004) Commentary

TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast

In 2004, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" director Joel Zwick unleashed the comedy film "Elvis Has Left the Building" onto the world. Starring Kim Basinger as a makeup saleswoman whose seemingly supernatural bond to Elvis Presley leads to the accidental string of deaths of Elvis impersonators across the American Southwest.

Co-starring John Corbett, Denise Richards, Annie Potts, Sean Astin and many others, this lightweight, zany Elvis-related film is packed with stars and surprising cameos but seems only infrequently remembered nowadays, even in Elvis fan circles, despite having been given official support of Elvis' estate and record company at the time for its Elvis-laden soundtrack.

While Gurdip went in blind, Justin, who'd seen the movie following its original DVD release, brought all the tidbits and trivia he could find, and together they sat down for a TCBCast Patreon bonus commentary for it back in August of 2021. "Elvis Has Left the Building" is still readily available for rental or purchase in most regions relatively inexpensively on streaming platforms, so cue it up, grab a bowl of popcorn and join the guys for this watch!
