Ep 29: THE BLUES BROTHERS

In today's very special ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY episode, we're jumping back to 1980 to talk about The Blues Brothers, starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Join us as we drink and chat about the absolutely bonkers production that included money in the budget for cocaine, 103 cars being crashed, a mall that gets absolutely destroyed, and musical numbers that make Miles actually like the musical genre!
