CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on The Eddie Volkman Show on WSSR-FM (Star 96.7 Joliet, Illinois) on June 18th, 2021, reviewing the new documentary “The Sparks Brothers,” opening in theaters on June 18th, 2021.
The band called SPARKS are two brothers, Russell and Ron Mael. Russell is the lead singer. Ron is the songwriter who played keyboards and looked like – for a period in the 1970s – Adolf Hitler. The film was made by comic director and über-fan Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD), and he gets perspective fellow superfans, like Mike Myers, and the SPARKS brothers themselves.
