Description
In this episode, we’re your queen to be with the 1988 John Landis comedy COMING TO AMERICA.   After Shane explains how the movie’s royal bath affected him as a youth (1:23), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with the many different characters that Eddie Murphy was able to pull off (9:26). We discuss the classic matrimony song (12:15), why Coming to America’s impact goes beyond its gags (16:51), and how one scene clearly inspired Kanye West (18:34). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with the problems with Sexual Chocolate’s Randy Watson (31:13) and why Lisa put up with Daryl (35:44). We get into the nightclub dating montage (39:28), all the jokes involving McDowell’s restaurant (41:53), and Shane nitpicks the final wedding scene (45:22).
