The best movie podcast duo out there (sorry, not sorry) is back to discuss John Landis 1980 musical comedy, The Blues Brothers! Raekwon\u2019s never seen it before and, boy oh boy, did Nick feel the need to change that. For those of you that don\u2019t 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\u2019ve got a souped up car they\u2019ve named \u201cThe Blues Mobile,\u201d a killer band, and they\u2019ve pissed off everybody they could in the state of Illinois in the process. \n\nAnd you know what else they\u2019ve got? A heckin\u2019 good movie. Like, easily Nick\u2019s favorite musical tier stuff. So join Nick and Raekwon as they discuss the classic musical The Blues Brothers, and how it\u2019s an important film in Saturday Night Live\u2019s canon that is 100% worth watching! Because, really, it\u2019s got a sixty car pileup! How many car crashes do you need for a movie to be worth your time???
