Bruce Campbell as an old Elvis. An ancient mummy. A nursing home. Put those all together and you have Bubba Ho-Tep, a high-end B-movie that does not fail to deliver. We run through this delightful film that is fun and touching, then hit on the lessons that can be taken from it. Also starring the late Ossie Davis, Bubba Ho-Tep hits all the marks on direction, tone, simplified locations, and a successful adaptation of a short story. We discuss attaching known talent and using existing IP. If you ever wanted to know what happened to Elvis, it’s all here.
