Cult Cinema Sunday: The Blues Brothers at Social.

After the release of Jake Blues (Belushi) from prison, he and brother Elwood (Aykroyd) take their blues band back on the road in an attempt to raise money for the orphanage where they were raised.
Havoc ensues as the brothers seek redemption on their “mission from God”, with everyone else against them – and that includes a bunch of Country and Western rednecks, an angry chapter of neo-Nazi thugs, the massed ranks of the Chicago police force, and Jake’s psychotic ex-girlfriend Camille (Carrie Fisher).
