Blue Hawaii
Today we are talking about the 1961 film starring Elvis Presley about a returning GI to Hawaii. He tries to avoid working for his family business by working as a tour guide. This dated film is entertaining at times but couldn’t be made today without cleaning up some racism and misogeny.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Actors of varying age playing parents of others
- How this favorite film of my child may turn to be less than desired
- We love the Elvis songs and his Hula Baby hips
