Emmy-winning composer Jeff Toyne (Palm Royale) joins the show to discuss the epic 1980 musical comedy The Blue Brothers. Topics include the challenges of scoring comedy, the various musical acts of The Blue Brothers, (and what it's like to 'score' a previously-composed song), sneaking in esoteric musical references, and much more. Join us, won't you, as we discuss The Blue Brothers and Palm Royale S2?
