Ever wondered why Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" never gets old? We embark on a nostalgic journey through some of our favorite comedy films, starting with Murphy's 1988 classic. From the unforgettable characters to the iconic scenes like McDowell's and Soul Glow, we relive the magic. Then, we shift gears to "Old School," reminiscing about the antics of starting a fraternity in your late 20s. We also highlight Will Ferrell's versatile comedy with special mentions of "Step Brothers" and "Talladega Nights," and round things out by celebrating Val Kilmer’s diverse roles in films such as "Top Secret," "Tombstone," and "The Doors."
Our admiration for comedians like Zach Galifianakis and his stand-up special "Live at the Purple Onion" brings us to discuss "The Hangover." We share laughs over Mike Tyson’s unexpectedly funny moments. Plus, a personal story involving a bar, a mistaken ID, and a lesson learned. Ever had an ID mishap that led to police involvement? Rounding out the episode, we touch on Michael Keaton's performance in "Multiplicity" and the innovative filmmaking techniques used. Join us for a fun-filled episode that’s sure to leave you smiling and contemplating your favorite comedy moments.
