Greetings programs! This week, Rachel subs in for Simon again, and she and Matthew take on the A24 critical darling Past Lives and the new documentary Reinventing Elvis, which explores the story of the ’68 comeback special.

This week, I ask Rachel about remakes that are better (or as good as) their original films, and Rachel asks me what my favourite Elvis songs are.
