Special Guests: John Landis, Steven Williams, Laila NablusiGuest Co-Hosts: Brad Jones, Suzen Tekla Kruglnska
Musical month continues with a look at John Landis's The Blues Brothers (1980). It's the story of Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd), two musicians who need to get $5,000 in order to pay the back taxes on the orphanage where they grew up learning to be white blues singers.
Suzen Tekla Kruglnska (Rosemary's Baby 6:66) and Brad Jones (The Cinema Snob) join Mike for a discussion of The Blues Brothers (and Blues Brothers 2000) along with special guests Laila Nablusi (president of The Blues Brothers), Steven Williams (Trooper Mount), and co-writer/director John Landis.

Amazing episode, and the bonus interview its quite interesting. i found hard to believe some of the things Mrs Nabulsi says about Alex Cox, but i guess movie business its a strange business. Thanks Mike!
