“The Blues Brothers” 1980 is packed with music and lots of law enforcement car chases. Then add in “Joliet” Jake and Elwood on “a mission from God” to save the orphanage, plus attacks on Jake’s life by a mysterious woman left waiting at the altar, pursuit by the angry country western band, and attacks by a neo-Nazi party. What did I forget? Director John Landis herds these events into a crazy-quilt of music and mayhem.
John Belushi is Jake Blues and Dan Aykroyd is blood brother Elwood. The large cast includes Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Candy, Ray Charles, Twiggy, Steve Lawrence, Frank Oz, Henry Gibson, Steven Spielberg in the Assessor’s office, Ralph Foody as Police Dispatcher, and a long list of other talented folks. Hang on!

“Mogambo” 1953 is a romance-adventure film set in Africa. Thank you to Patreon listener Arthur who recommended we include the movie in a podcast. Director John Ford built the film around African locations and music from African tribes. The film has many elements found in the 1932 movie “Red Dust”.
Clark Gable is Victor Marswell the experienced guide who leads the safari to ultimately observe Gorillas in their natural setting. The safari group includes Grace Kelly as Linda Nordley who falls in love with Marswell, Donald Nordley the husband of Linda played by Donald Sinden, Ava Gardner as Eloise Kelly who also loves Marswell, and a large supporting cast. Mr. Gable also played the lead in the “Red Dust” film. Enjoy this adventure drawn from an earlier time.
