Ever wondered what would happen if Eddie Murphy had skipped "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"? We've got you covered! Join us as we put Eddie Murphy's filmography under the microscope, starting with the laughably ambitious flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." We crack jokes about Murphy's multiple roles and take a playful jab at Alec Baldwin's stealthy cameo. Fuel our fun debate on an alternative universe where names like Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis, or even the late Chris Farley might have stepped into the spotlight – would it have been a game-changer for this sci-fi comedy?
Grab your popcorn because our "Movies and Characters Chat" is nothing short of a rollercoaster. We dissect a film that could have doubled as a marathon – one long, breathless chase scene – and chew over the missed comedic opportunities. Did Rosario Dawson's casting play a part, or did the studio's scissors snip away the laughs? Oh, and if you're a fan of Luis Guzman, we're rallying behind his comedic chops, imagining him as Gomez Addams in "Wednesday," and comparing him to the legendary Raul Julia. We cap off this lively discussion by embracing the unfiltered joy of Eddie Murphy's performance in "Pluto Nash" – no holds barred.
Closing out Andrew and I serve up a no-holds-barred review of a film that recently let us down, big time. Picture this: a cinema experience so underwhelming, we'd sooner discuss moon-based gyms and hypothetical wild animal encounters in space. We confess to seeking refuge in fantasy football trades and the Mariners game, anything to escape the yawn-inducing flick we endured. Before signing off, remember to hit up our social media – we deliver episodes with a punch that's sure to keep you coming back for more.
