The Blues Brothers

In the summer of 1979, citizens of Chicago found themselves subject to traffic jams, random explosions, and S.W.A.T. teams invading Daley Plaza. But they weren’t frightened, they were thrilled! It was just Jake & Elwood Blues, and they were on a mission from God. This week Chris and Lizzie dive head first into John Landis’ 1980 classic ‘The Blues Brothers’. Find out why they really drove cars through downtown Chicago at over 100mph, how Dan Aykroyd’s first draft was 324 pages long, and why John Landis punched John Belushi in the face. Please note that this episode will cover substance abuse and addiction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
