//podcastplus.net/feed/filmically-perfect~382fe061 Willeman (film archivist, writer, and sometimes actor) came up with three simple defining rules for "The Perfect Movie." Each week they are joined by WYSO's Niki Dakota to focus on one film in a lively discussion about why it made their list, a list unencumbered by arcane numbering systems or hierarchical rankings!

Elvis fan or no, one cannot deny the power and influence this fellow from Memphis had on the world of popular music. Here we see him at the top of his newly regained powers, finally free of the crapulous films he had been making in the years preceding. Find the ORIGINAL version and revel in it!

And what a triple feature: A Psychedelic Sci-Fi epic, a British romantic Comedy, and a Classic 70's road movie! And as an added treat, the Film Guys let our own Niki Dakota ramble on about one of her favorites. Don't worry, it won't happen often. Just Kidding, Niki!

After its release, he found himself back on the slow boat to Churubusco, Mexico, where he made this very surreal and angry film, no doubt venting his cinematic spleen towards his Spanish foes.
