“Have you ever seen a man who’s been hit by the brown note?”
The panel of peril are wearing sunglasses indoors, but that does not impair the viewing experience for this week’s opus The Blues Brothers (John Landis, 1980).
Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) are on a mission from God. A mission to raise $5000 for the orphanage that they grew up in, by any means possible. Featuring music legends Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Cab Calloway and Chaka Khan, The Blues Brothers is a one of a kind comedy, musical romp with tons of cracking action to boot.

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on their trail, doing their utmost to stop the Blues and their band in their tracks. A Mystery Woman (Carrie Fisher), The Police (headed up by John Candy), and some actual Nazis all have them in their sights. Will they succeed or will Jake and Elwood raise the spondulicks for kids, brah?
What did the panel think of this week’s movie? How can they improve upon the villain’s masterplan? And who will be anointed this week’s most diabolical?
