Put the needle on the record and set your turntables to 33 1/3!

What it lacks in production value it makes up for in pure feral energy. See what the kids are freaking out about! Listen now! Check out our YouTube Channel!

Get your prison wallets ready! Wade and Burl are discussing Jailhouse Rock, a movie that contains 70% less jailhouse than you remember. Elvis plays the petulant and unlikable Vince Everett in his third film and second starring role. Despite being filmed so fast they barely had time to put film in the cameras, it boasted some of the most iconic music performances in Elvis’s career, as well as a smattering of time-killing filler sung by costar Mickey Shaughnessy. There’s only two reasons not to listen; if you’re dead or in jail! And if you’re in jail…break out!! Check out our...
