BONUS - Blues Brothers (1980)

We're on a mission from God... to tell you about the history of comedy on this podcast! It's another bonus episode of the show! Zach and Dan fall deeper into Zach's obsession with the book Wild And Crazy Guys by discussing the 1980s SNL movie Blues Brothers. We discuss the trends this movie kicked off, how to be funny without necessarily telling jokes, and how this movie reveres everyone in it.
