Gurdip and Olivia sit down for a super fun discussion picking one song from each of Elvis' narrative films (from Love Me Tender through Change of Habit) from within the movie itself that they especially enjoy, not including those just on the soundtrack or recorded for but cut from the final film.

They also discuss the title, cover design and release date for Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough's new book "From Here to the Great Unknown," set to release later this year and speculate on what kind of book it may be.

There's no Song of the Week this week due to a scheduling issue, but this is still a full-length show. SOTW returns next week with Justin and Bec! This episode was recorded before the news of the passing of Mark James, writer of "Suspicious Minds," "Always On My Mind," "Moody Blue" and others.

Special guest Darin Evans joins Gurdip and Justin for a brief exploration of what each think were Elvis' best 5 singles, considering the strength of the A & B-sides, overall success and (naturally) personal taste.

For Song of the Week, Darin piggybacks off Justin's choice of "Kissin Cousins No. 2" last week and goes for "Kissin' Cousins," the upbeat single from the 1964 movie which featured Elvis musically portraying two different characters within a single song.

Then Justin explores the understated and oft-neglected 50s country ballad "How's The World Treating You," including how Elvis altered the original's lyrics and intent in the recording that featured on his 1956 sophomore LP "Elvis," before Gurdip closes out the episode by zeroing in on the last of the four original demo recordings that Elvis recorded at Memphis Recording Service to be released to the public: "It Wouldn't Be The Same Without You."

Bec crashes an episode with Gurdip and Justin covering the 1971 Camden "C'mon Everybody," a compilation collecting a handful of tracks that at the time of its release had previously only been available on the Extended Play soundtracks for Follow That Dream, Kid Galahad, Viva Las Vegas and Easy Come, Easy Go. It turns out to be one of the breeziest, enjoyable Camdens and the gang has a ton of fun digging into it.

Also discussed are news items including the upcoming Guitar Man Sessions FTD, the false Graceland foreclosure, and Justin's recent Elvis finds - which includes a copy of our main topic album!

For Song of the Week, Bec hangs around just to commentate on our picks, with Gurdip selecting the title track of 1967's "Double Trouble" which leads to reading songwriter Mort Shuman's hilarious recollection (or lack thereof) about the song in Ken Sharp's "Writing for the King, before closing out with Justin's Song of the Week, the short" opening title version of "Kissin' Cousins" often referred to as "No. 2."
