Coming to America

Eddie Murphy in Coming to America

This time out we discuss Eddie Murphy's late 80s hit Coming to America, a film that is packed with stars (James Earl Jones! Arsenio Hall! John Amos! Louie Anderson! Samuel L. Jackson!), packed with laughs, and packed with romance and heart. What it's not packed with is skateboarding but there's juuuuuust enough to justify our covering the film for this podcast.

Our discussion also finds us discussing Eddie Murphy's career as a whole - his meteoric rise to fame in the 1980s and the highs and lows of his career since. Is Coming to America his best film? You'll have to decide for yourself after listening to the episode. Just make sure to sow your royal oats first.
