The Someday Cinema Series will screen The Blues Brothers (1980) at 3 and 7 pm on Sunday, September 30, in the theater of Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street.

Tickets are $3, and the matinee will be captioned for the benefit of those with hearing impairment.

John Landis (Animal House, Trading Places) directed John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd to follow their Saturday Night Live characters Jake and Elwood Blues, brothers in the sense that they were both raised at the same Chicago Catholic orphanage.

Stringing together some of the greatest 20th Century R&B singers of all time — such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Cab Caloway — the story follows Jake and Elwood Blues on a “mission from God,” determined that nothing and nobody will stop them; not the police, not neo-Nazis, not good ole boys, and not even a murderous mystery woman with a penchant for demolition.

This cult classic has both absurdly destructive car chases and memorable, soulful music. Landis cast strong supporting roles played by Carrie Fisher and John Candy, among others, and notable cameos from Paul Reubens, Twiggy, Frank Oz, and even Steven Spielberg.

“This is some weird movie,” began Roger Ebert in his original film review. What is really weird is how relevant some of these scenes are today.

The Someday Cinema Series will continue with an early celebration of Halloween with two double features on October 28: Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and The Beast with Five Fingers (1946).

The public is invited to see both films together for $5. Screenings will again start at 3 and 7 pm.

This weekend’s screenings are being sponsored by DNL Laboratories LLC. The series is hosted by Newtown Cultural Arts Commission.
