Suspicious Minds with Wade and Burl – Details, episodes & analysis

Get your prison wallets ready! Wade and Burl are discussing Jailhouse Rock, a movie that contains 70% less jailhouse than you remember. Elvis plays the petulant and unlikable Vince Everett in his third film and second starring role. Despite being filmed so fast they barely had time to put film in the cameras, it boasted some of the most iconic music performances in Elvis’s career, as well as a smattering of time-killing filler sung by costar Mickey Shaughnessy. There’s only two reasons not to listen; if you’re dead or in jail! And if you’re in jail…break out!!

Burl and Wade are back in the building to tackle the posthumously released 1977 CBS TV special Elvis in Concert! Part historical document, part concert film, and part merchandise infomercial, Elvis in Concert was a preview to where the Elvis industry was heading. We discuss the setlist, speculate on the back stories of interview subjects, and provide an exhaustive sob-by-sob analysis of the most depressing interview Vernon ever gave. We’ve got a new sponsor on deck, a mind-boggling Would You Believe? and a Wade Back Machine that will have you wanting to live at home and have a fairly good job at the post office. Suspicious Minds Season 3 starts here; we’re honest and we’ve got vibes!

How well does he fill the blue suede shoes? Is this 2 1/2 hour sequined fever dream worth a watch? What’s going on with Tom Hanks’s accent? Sit back with an ice cold Pepsi and all questions will be answered!

In the season finale, Wade and Burl discuss “Living Legend:The King of Rock and Roll” the “loosely based on” Elvis biopic that follows the late era of rock icon Eli Canfield (played by North Carolina filmaker Earl Owensby) who’s drug abuse and out of control lifestyle have left him trapped alone in his own superstardom; a slow moving, polyester-clad tragedy thats definitely worth a watch.
