“WE’RE ON A MISSION FROM GOD.“

On this episode, we cover a comedy musical classic, “The Blues Brothers“ from 1980, directed by the (in)famous John Landis. Joining us for this episode is one of the hosts over at the podcast Cinenation, Brandon Sparks!

Brandon is a fellow movie lover, film major, podcaster, but also happens to LOVE Blues Brothers, and has a great deal of trivia and answers to our questions about the film, like:

Why was this even made?

How did this film manage to get so many talented Black artists to be in the movie?

Why is this your favorite movie?

And of course, how do you feel about this movie after learning about John Landis and the infamous Twilight Zone shoot where 3 actors lost their lives? As time goes on and we learn about some of the people behind the entertainment we love, how does this effect how we see their work?

Find out on the episode! Hope you enjoy!
