It's the season finale of Viva Pod Vegas as we've finally arrived at Elvis Presley's final film: Change of Habit! After getting over the fact that we're concluding on another late-career Elvis movie that isn't really starring him, we talk about the "Queen of Comedy" moniker, this film's surprising cinematographer, and what level of respect this movie holds in film critic circles. We also talk about Elvis's unfinished/unfilmed The New Gladiators, and what the world lost by never seeing The King as a karate cop.
We then pivot to discussing Change of Habit, and kick off by analyzing the film's need to remind audiences that this is, in fact, an Elvis movie. What is this movie trying to do? It features abortion, sexual assault, social equality, and autism. We discuss its aims and if it is successful. We talk about the perfect end to Elvis's film career -- singing gospel music in church -- and reflect back on the Viva Pod Vegas journey so far and where we may go from here.
