#571:R. J. Cutler/Director of Belushi
Today I sit down with R. J. Cutler director of the new John Belushi documentary on Showtime called Belushi out right now. R. J. has made a fantastic film about John that really blew me away and after watching it I knew I had to talk to him right away. John Belushi has always had a special place in my heart and is part of the reason why I do Stand Up Comedy. When I was very young I would stay up late and watch SNL and John would completely Blow My Mind. R. J. has done some amazing work over the years and in February 2021 he will be debuting his new Billie Eilish documentary on Apple TV. Thanks for tuning in today and Happy New Year Delraisers. DDR
