Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966)

  • Summary

  • Elvis returns to Hawaii -- and Viva Pod Vegas is right there with him -- as we talk about Paradise, Hawaiian Style! After kicking off with some Graceland news, Col. Tom Parker drops by the podcast again before Mike recasts the Fantastic Four with Elvis Presley and associates. We run through this movie's mixed bag of taglines, explore the (more interesting than usual) backstories for the other actors in this movie, and lament Elvis's seeming resignation around the songs he had to sing for this movie. We talk about how weird it is that this movie starts with a cold open, find ourselves once again confused by Elvis's many lookalike girlfriends (of which there are more than ever before, but somehow there's no love interest?), and break down the "Elvis + Kid = Great!" streak snapper. We talk about the incredibly low stakes in Paradise, Hawaiian Style, the (truly wonderful) element of this movie we've never seen before, and its unmemorable soundtrack. We look ahead to Spinout.
