This week on The Movie List Podcast, Dr. Matt (who is watching this for the very first time !) and Jon (the filmmaker) break down the chaotic, musical masterpiece that is The Blues Brothers.What started as a simple SNL sketch somehow ballooned into an inflation-adjusted $111 million demolition derby.

The 103-Car Body Count: How the production bought decommissioned police cruisers just to smash them, jump them, and crash them by the hundreds.Princess Leiaâs Rocket Launcher: Breaking down Carrie Fisher's unhinged and completely unexplained mission to assassinate Jake and Elwood.The 5-Star GTA Wanted Level: How a simple traffic stop naturally escalates into tanks, SWAT teams, and the army.The Muppet Connection: Jon's unshakeable theory on how this movie is essentially just a blues version of The Muppet Movie.The Final Scores: Matt grades the "science realism" of the car physics, and Jon breaks down the incredible, pre-pixel camera work. -
