    What an amazing interview. Both Baz and Courtney had room to be so genuine and authentically converse about his remarkable creative process and life. Incredible interviewer and interviewee! Thanks.

    Thank you Courtney for asking Baz questions that revealed him as intriguingly deep.
    You can really feel Austin channeling the essence of Elvis, can't wait to see it.

    This really makes me very excited to see the film. I love that sentiment of 'enjoying something you're not supposed to'. That really is what made elvis the icon he is today.

    This truly was a brilliant interview. Courtney, your preparation, questioning and ability to relate to Ben while delving deep into him as a person, reveals your respect for both your subject and craft. Ben was fascinating to listen to and your skill as an interviewer was a pleasure to watch.

  • @theadventuresofzoomandbettie

    Courtney's interview skills are A+++++ - not sure if it's just because so far she seems to already know everyone she's interviewing, or just the preparation and confidence is that good, but whatever it is, this series is great!

    HorriblHorrible movie. Why don't you guys watch and Elvis video or documentary and then see by comparison how bad this movie really is. The acting is terrible
    except for Tom Hanks - the scenery is OK and times are depicted correctly - but the acting, man - really sucks!!!! And they left out Elvis' best songs - like My Way
    and his Gospel - which was part of him!!! Bummer!!!

      Do you mean Shane? Who has Courtney Act as his alter-ego? Yes, he is a man. A drag queen, but still a man. Being a transphobe and misplacing your hatred on someone that isn't even trans, is a pretty low IQ display. Cant expect much more from someone masquerading as a dead, in the closet, convicted murderer though.
