Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor.

In this episode, we explore the career of Jim Belushi. Best known for his roles as Art in Red Heat (1988), Dooley in K-9 (1989), and his title role on According to Jim (2001-09), Belushi has dipped his toes into almost every corner of the entertainment world.
