  • Summary

  • Sophia Coppola's 2023 biopic "Priscilla," starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, wasn't the first film about Priscilla Presley!

    The two-part 1988 TV movie "Elvis and Me," also based on Priscilla Presley's memoir, starred Susan Walters and Dale Midkiff. "Elvis and Me" went deeper and darker than "Priscilla," showing a version of Elvis Presley who was more abusive and cruel than Jacob Elordi's portrayal of the star as an overgrown manchild.

    Katie and Louis dive into why Sophia Coppola softened the story's edges, and how society's view of Elvis and Priscilla's relationship has slowly shifted from "grand romance" to "grooming."
