The Blues Brothers (1980) - C for Classic SNL Vehicle

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're starting a new season of Cinema To The Letter! Yes, it's time to hit it as Thomas & Bryan kick off their new season on Saturday Night Live Vehicles with the first film ever based on a SNL sketch The Blues Brothers! Together, our duo will answer the crucial questions. How have the comedic stylings of Dan Aykroyd & the late John Belushi aged in the half a century since their SNL debuts? How does the casual maximalist style of controversial director John Landis work for this madcap musical comedy adventure? Can Gen Z-ers ever possibly get on board with the styles of Jake and Elwood? Well, go on a true mission from God by pressing play on this episode to find out!
