Manage episode 438968940 series 2496863
The best movie podcast duo out there (sorry, not sorry) is back to discuss John Landis 1980 musical comedy, The Blues Brothers! Raekwon’s never seen it before and, boy oh boy, did Nick feel the need to change that. For those of you that don’t know, The Blues Brothers is a film adaptation of the popular SNL characters of the same name/real blues revue band led by Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. The film, which casts them as the Blues, follows them on an adventure to raise $5000 to save the orphanage they grew up in, and finds them joined by legendary black musicians such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles. They’ve got a souped up car they’ve named “The Blues Mobile,” a killer band, and they’ve pissed off everybody they could in the state of Illinois in the process. And you know what else they’ve got? A heckin’ good movie. Like, easily Nick’s favorite musical tier stuff. So join Nick and Raekwon as they discuss the classic musical The Blues Brothers, and how it’s an important film in Saturday Night Live’s canon that is 100% worth watching! Because, really, it’s got a sixty car pileup! How many car crashes do you need for a movie to be worth your time???
