ELVIS Movie & Soundtrack Review for KISSIN COUSINS

Paul and Rob talk about the 1964 Elvis movie KISSIN COUSINS.

They go thru most of the songs from the movie in order as they appear in the movie and we talk about the plot of the movie (there is a sort of a plot).

They also play audio from a SKIP E LOWE interview with the director / writer GENE NELSON that is from 1990 (with permission)

This was such a fun movie for us to watch and review.

'Paul not only was on the podcast last year talking Horror Films (Paul is a writer/director of independent horror films like HUNT CHASE KILL and the LEGEND OF THE BUSHKILL WITCH) but... he's a huge Elvis fan just like Rob is ... so it was only fitting that Paul would agree to come to the studio and record this podcast.

We are releasing this podcast on what would of been Elvis' 91st birthday (January 8, 2026)

**** SUBJECTS COVERED (or uncovered): MOONSHINE BIKINIS KITTYHAWKS WRASSLING And of course the Movie itself, The Soundtrack, Fun Facts and The Critics ... oh... the critics..

***

FIND OUT: What cast member acted with her son in the movie? Was Elvis' wearing a wig? Who did Elvis' get in a fight with? What cast member was not really singing? Does Elvis get the girl (or girls?) What did Yvonne Craig have to say about Elvis? (Paul tells us from a first hand conversation he had with Yvonne) and more! ***** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora, YouTube and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.
