Writer Tom Davis hosts a Blues Brothers retrospective that tells the whole truth about the legendary band's early days and righteous ways. The Blues Brothers were an unforgettable part of Saturday Night Live's golden era, making their musical debut in bee costumes singing "I'm a King Bee," and becoming an overnight sensation. Switching to hats and shades inspired by John Lee Hooker, they combined classic Chicago Blues with Stax-Volt R&B to create a sound all their own. Their first album, Briefcase Full of Blues, went double-platinum and led quickly to their hit movie and milestone soundtrack album. The rest is history, and it's all here in a music-filled, memory-blasting account of a band that will always be on a mission from God.

Renowned documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker captures Otis Redding in his ascendancy, singing at the historic Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967. Comedian Tom Smothers introduces Redding to a crowd that is leaving -- until Redding grabs them with his charged rendition of "Shake." Redding's performance also includes "Respect" (which he wrote), "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Satisfaction," and "Try a Little Tenderness." Tragically, Redding died in a plane crash six months later. An innovative filmmaker who started in the 1950s making experimental films, Pennebaker garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature in 1993 for The War Room, his behind-the-scenes look at Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign. His other subjects have included Norman Mailer, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie.

Acclaimed director John Landis (Animal House, The Blues Brothers) presents this madcap send-up of late night TV, low-budget sci-fi films and canned-laughter-filled sitcoms packed with off-the-wall sketches that will have you in stitches. Centered around a television station which features a 1950s-style sci-fi movie interspersed with a series of wild commercials, wacky shorts and weird specials, this lampoon of contemporary life and pop culture skewers some of the silliest spectacles ever created in the name of entertainment. A truly outrageous look at the best of the worst that television has to offer.

시카고 부근의 한 천주교 고아원에서 자란 형제 제이크(Joliet Jake: 존 벨루시 분)와 엘우드(Elwood: 댄 애크로이드 분)는 검은 양복, 검은 모자, 검은 안경이 트레이드마크인 괴짜들이다. 본업은 리듬앤블루스 밴드 리더였던듯 한데, 오늘은 저간의 곡절로 옥살이를 한 형제 제이크가 모범수로 가석방되는 날이다. 경찰서 폐기처분장비 공매장에서 헐값에 산 중고 경찰차를 몰고 마중 나온 동생 엘우드는 출감한 제이크를 태우고 어렸을때 생활하던 고아원으로 간다. 5천달러의 세금을 며칠 안에 납부하지 않으면 고아원이 교육청에 팔리게 된다는 말을 원장 수녀로부터 들은 블루스 형제는 밴드를 다시 조직하여 큰 공연을 함으로서 5천달러를 마련하겠다는 계획을 세운다. 제이크가 감옥에 들어갈때 각자 살 길을 찾아나서서 지금은 나름대로 자리를 잡고 사는 옛 밴드 멤버들을 우역곡절 끝에 재규합하는데 성공한 블루스 형제는, 오라는 곳 없는 불청객으로 길을 가다 어느 컨트리 앤웨스턴 주점에 들어가 무조건 노래를 부른다. 주점 주인이 연주료 200달러를 주며 밴드가 마신 맥주값 300달러를 청구하자 돈이 없는 블루스 형제는 잽싸게 차에 올라 도주하여 극장 예약업자 모리(Maury Sline: 스티븐 로렌스 분)를 찾아간다. 모리의 약점을 이용하여 5천석 규모의 대극장 공연을 따낸 블루스 형제는 옛 고아원 교사 커티스(Curtis: 캡 콜로웨이 분)와 고아원 아이들의 도움을 받아 하루만에 대규모 선전을 성공리에 마친다. 극장에 구름같이 모여든 청중들은 블루스브라더스 밴드의 노래에 열광한다. 레코드사 사장이 취입 제안을 하면서 선약금 만달러를 내놓기까지 한다.
