Episode The Blues Brothers (1980) | Ep. 82 - Part 1
It contains one of the largest car pile-ups ever filmed, and that's not even the most ambitious thing about it. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the musical-comedy-action-disaster movie that shouldn't have worked and absolutely did.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director John Landis, the cast, and the second act — including Jake and Elwood reuniting on a mission from God, the legendary musical guest list, and a production that ran wildly over budget chasing Landis's vision.
The Bluesmobile still has a long way to drive, and Chicago hasn't been wrecked yet. Part 2 floors it: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
