"Note to self: Stay away from Tupelo, Mississippi.
I'm not sure why I even watched this. I'm not a fan of Elvis, but everyone in Tupelo seems to be, because it's his birthplace. The story in this 3 part documentary is sort of interesting but it's told in a boring fashion. I actually dozed off a couple of times while watching it. 4/10"
"Lordy Lordy! As a southern expat living elsewhere now this doc took me back home to all the madness and endearing lunacy that was everywhere when I was growing up. At times, I thought I was watching a fictional work from the mind of Danny McBride....but it is all real. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the big finale of the events that made national news a few years back is fascinating but not even the most remarkable scene. Only in the US South could one possibly thread together amateur martial arts, political extremism, secret espionage programs, a severed head in a hospital freezer, the world's first Elvis impersonating brothers, ricin, & and a deep dive into the early days of the online conspiracy community (complete w MySpace pages and a cameo by the vaunted Gateway 2000)! Highly recommend! "
