Episode The Blues Brothers (1980) | Ep. 82 - Part 2
The climactic chase reportedly held the world record for the most cars destroyed in a single film for decades. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, careering towards that mass-pile-up finale.
We dig into the crew behind the film — the Aykroyd and Landis screenplay, the wall-to-wall soul and R&B soundtrack featuring Aretha, Ray Charles and James Brown, and the stunt and effects work behind the demolition — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's status as one of the great cult classics. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.
Part 1 is where the band gets back together — Landis, the cast, the first half. Worth starting there.
Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
