b"In this week's episode Simon and Keith talk about John Landis, a director who is mostly known for his comedies, but has done the odd horror. He started working on films as a stuntman and assistant director before making his first feature film, Schlock, an independent film with a gorilla suit design by Rick Baker. From there he went on to make some of the biggest comedies of the 80s like TRADING PLACES and COMING TO AMERICA. He also revolutionised music videos with Michael Jackson's THRILLER. The films under discussion are THE BLUES BROTHERS, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, BEVERLY HILLS COP 3 and BLUES BROTHERS 2000. \\n\\t\\t\\t\\nMovie Heaven Movie Hell is a show where filmmakers Simon Aitken (BLOOD + ROSES, POST-ITS, MODERN LOVE) and Keith Eyles (FEAR VIEW, DRIVEN INSANE, CROSSED LINES) go through the A-Z of directors.
