Fuck cancer.

So…slow news day in the 'ol AV Club offices?

I first saw The Blues Brothers a few months before this sequel was released. I was hopeful the sequel would be halfway decent; I saw it in the theater when it came out (February 1998).

Blockbuster is still open in Alaska (8 stores) and Texas (10 stores), all owned by the same franchisee (out of Austin, Texas). Corporate is still dead.
