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.

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!

@theadventuresofzoomandbettie 2 жыл бұрын
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.

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!!!
