That's amore. Non paghiamo il fossile. And just like that...
Boom, kiss, come on, God bless America.
In 1966, a pilot for a potential Three Coins in the
Fountain TV series was filmed on location in Rome. It
only aired on TV once in August 1970, was not picked up thereafter
and has never been made available ever since. Probably very few
people have ever seen it at all. This week, we've unearthed it -
and since it's turned out to be in the public domain, you can
now watch it in
full with English subtitles on the new SUDDENLY YouTube
channel.
In what somehow turns out to be our longest episode to date, Justin
Gausman of TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan
Podcast joins us to examine "Caesar's Ghost", the first
and only episode of the rejected Three Coins series.
Is this the best manifestation of the franchise? Could it have been
the Sex and the City of the 1960s if someone
gave it a chance? We say yes - and it also turns out that this very
obscure piece of lost media has significant overlap with the Elvis
movie universe.
That's right; because three-and-a-half hours wasn't enough, we're
talking about Three Coins in the Fountain once again.
We're back to talk about this obscure pilot, and also as a mark of
respect to Ultima Generazione (Last Generation), the climate
activists who turned the Trevi water black just weeks ago.
During our record, we fire up the Trevi Fountain webcam once again
and witness street sweepers, selfie-takers and a very special
surprise that you'll love. Also, stay tuned after the closing theme
for a bonus 45-minute discussion with Rabia & Justin about the
future of AI in music, recorded spontaneously at 8am due to a
timezone mix-up.
Watch Three Coins in the Fountain ("Caesar's Ghost")
on the SUDDENLY YouTube channel here.
