Baz Luhrmann 'Elvis' and 'The Black Phone' premiere in theaters, plus 'Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe!'

The King is in the building! The assuredly bombastic new 'Elvis' directed by Baz Luhrmann is hitting theaters this weekend and we're pretty excited to see what that twelve (or was it ten) minute standing ovation was all about that it got at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Along the way, we scour the archives for some relevant Elvis content that will entertain, illuminate, and amaze, which we have linked below so as to edify.

Also coming out this week is a new horror movie, "The Black Phone," starring Ethan Hawke as a serial killer whose previous victims are, from beyond the grave, trying to help free his current victim. We're predicting the movie is not entirely as it appears, but we've been burnt before, so who knows. 

Also on tap is the latest Dr. Strange movie landing on Disney+, "Loot" on Apple TV+, a new Beavis and Butt-Head movie on Paramount+, and the premiere of Westworld's fourth season on HBO Max.
