*The Warlock is already in his lair looking haggard as Mr. America bursts in dressed as Elvis complete with blue jumpsuit*
A: Don’t be cruellllllllll….woah, what’s with you?
W: Tired man.
A: Tired? From what??
W: You realize I’ve done a movie every single day since we jump started the S.O.F. Project? Its been over a month and I need a break.
A: Well you’re not getting one tonight, you got something I want to see.
W: Yeah yeah, I got this and I got something with my dad tomorrow. Then I’m taking a break.
A: Whatever, tell everyone what we’re watching.
*Warlock turns to the camera*
W: Welcome to The Lair for another edition of Warlock’s Movie Realm. Tonight we will be catching something Mr. America has wanted to see for a long time. As we’ve covered previously, Elvis Presley’s first two movies put him on the map in Hollywood but his third might possibly be his most famous of the 1950’s. That movie is the 1957 musical drama JAILHOUSE ROCK!
A: Play the song.
W: Later.
*America takes his seat in the recliner*
W: So what is JAILHOUSE ROCK about? Elvis kills somebody and becomes the most popular inmate in jail. 2 years ago I covered Cry-Baby and I’m guessing this is the movie that one drew inspiration from. But the million dollar question is, is it good? Elvis song and dance numbers can only go so far, even if its my favorite Elvis song. If it sucks, its only 96 minutes long so it won’t be too painful. Fun fact, Elvis had to wear a wig for parts of the movie to cover his signature look….anything for showbiz right? So let’s get started, grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for JAILHOUSE ROCK.
Written by Guy Trosper and Nedrick Young
