Great episode. I have never seen this film, nor had I even heard of it, so maybe I’m wrong about this. The idea of putting on a show to raise cash and Fozzy having all kinds of problems getting that money where it needs to go sounds a lot like the plot of The Blues Brothers. That is one of my favorite movies, so that would make me want to see this film even more.
