About this listen
In Part 2 of our review of "Elvis: That's The Way It Is" the gang takes a look at our Patreon supporters's votes and comments on which version of the film is preferred, then debate the merits of the inclusion of interviews with fans and hotel staff in the original, as well as the producers' reasons for removing fan favorites such as "I Just Can't Help Believin'" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water' in favor of more well-known Elvis hits like "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog" for the Special Edition.
Justin challenges the commonly held belief that the Special Edition features substantially more time with Elvis than the theatrical cut, Elvis biographer Peter Guralnick's take on the film in "Careless Love" is contrasted with what we now know of Elvis's thoughts on the film, and the group looks forward to how both versions of the movie may influence Baz Luhrmann's EPiC.
