Former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich Defends Elvis on Wednesday, December 16 at 7pm!

The Film & Video Department of Columbia College Chicago presents more Rock 'N Roll with the former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, defending Elvis! A special addition to a semester of Sex * Drugs * Rock 'N Roll features a screening of Viva Las Vegas starring Elvis Presley followed by a spirited debate between Rod (“Elvis lives!”) Blagojevich and Film & Video faculty member Dan (“Elvis has left the building!”) Rybicky.

Cinema Slapdown, Round 21:
Viva Las Vegas
Wednesday, December 16 at 7pm
Film Row Cinema
1104 S. Wabash, 8th Floor
Free & Open to All


Is Viva Las Vegas an example of the rock musical in high gear or just another wayward star vehicle running on empty? Who’s really better at singing, acting and hip shaking? Elvis Presley or Ann-Margret? Does it take a Gov to crown a King?

Wise men say only cools rush in to this extra special Cinema Slapdown when former Governor of Illinois Rod (“Elvis lives!”) Blagojevich takes on Columbia College Chicago Film & Video faculty member Dan (“Elvis has left the building!”) Rybicky.

Referee’d by Film & Video faculty member and Talk Cinema host Ron Falzone.
