Sofia Coppola's Priscilla (2023)

Viva Pod Vegas: The Elvis Presley Film Podcast

09-11-2023 • 43 mins

We’re taking another brief detour on Viva Pod Vegas to cover Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, now playing in theaters! We talk about Priscilla as a complement to Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, its focus on Elvis’s film career (rather than his music career), and how it compared to what we expected the movie to be. We explore the “controversies” behind the scenes, talk about our favorite music moments, and imagine how close this final product was to Sofia Coppola’s original vision. We also talk about Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla — and the movie’s incredible ability to capture her growth in this movie — and Jacob Elordi as Elvis — and how his portrayal compares to last year’s performance by Austin Butler. We also come to the realization that after last year’s film centering on Col. Tom Parker’s point of view, and this film centering on Priscilla’s point of view… we haven’t gotten an Elvis biopic from his own perspective.
