Cinema To The Letter: 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 an 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!
