Show notes
You cast Jim Belushi, didn’t you…
This episode, we’re on a mission from God – that’s right, we’re doing our best to remake what has been deemed unable to be remade, The Blues Brothers. In this first part, we recast the titular brothers, and then re-write musical cameos featuring artists we know and love today. We might be biased, but THIS EPISODE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST. Especially if you’re a music nerd, which we know many of you are. Enjoy!
Note: This episode was recorded before the sexual misconduct allegations came out against Al Franken, who is mentioned within in relation to his time at SNL and as a MN Senator. Needless to say our tone and opinions have certainly changed in the time since this was recorded.
