While poignant, this documentary about legendary comic John Belushi – who died in 1982, aged 33– was straightforwardly reverential rather than truly insightful
Watching Belushi (Sky Documentaries) – a two-hour programme about the man who rose quickly through the comedy ranks, from Chicago’s Second City troupe to National Lampoon and then Saturday Night Live, and became an all-conquering star before dying of an overdose at 33 – I realised something. Past a certain age point, you weary of the story in both general and specific terms.
