  • Using archived interviews EZ Reviews the life and legacy of John Belushi as it pertains to Bob Woodward's depiction of his final days in his book and, later, film... Wired. In this multi-part documentary series, you'll find out about Belushi's life and work as we delve deep into the reception and creation of both versions of Woodward's divisive interpretation of Belushi's life. All in an attempt to reinterpret a convoluted narrative of Hollywood excess and bring to light the man, book, and film in a completely new and refreshing way.

    When he died, his close friends all said they were not surprised.
    One of them made a comment, "On the outside he had everything. Money, fame, success. But on the inside he had been running on empty for years."
    In the film, "Animal House" the director limited Belushi's time in the film, because he didn't want it to be "The John Belushi film."

      The irony being that Belushi still became the main draw for the film's audience. Thanks for watching and continuing the conversation. Stay tuned for part 2!

    The way his life ended did not surprise any of his close friends. One said, "He had everything on the outside, but on the inside he had been running on empty for years."

      It was inevitable, some individuals have a self-destuctive impulsive. IMO it's a chemical thing. If I hadn't gone on Celexa 20 years ago I'd probably gone down the same path ://
