On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are running away with newly risen Texas beauty queens. We watched the Will Geiger film from 2007, Elvis & Anabelle.
Did this movie invent a new genre? Gothic dramatic romantic road trip family drama?
Whatever the heck it is, Joe Mantegna completely stole every scene he was in. Nobody else could compete. If you’re going to see this movie, do it mostly for him.
However, there’s also a clever love story to be found in this film. It’s unique, quirky, and by all accounts, fairly strange. But when has that ever stopped love from taking over a person?
We’re not sure that the love between Elvis and Anabelle should have been so vilified, but we are certain that their love should bloom like a field of sunflowers.
