170: "The Crossover Episode" - Delgo (2008)

Ben has another podcast "Head Cannon" (available wherever you get your podcasts) so he graced us with his presence and we did a crossover episode.  Even though he would have been here anyway.  Whatever the case may be, we watched Delgo a huge box office bomb from 2008 featuring SNL alum Chris Kattan and a voice cast of people that you would not be able to recognize if their names weren't on screen.  Is there a more recognizable voice you can think of other than Freddie Prinze, Jr.?  How about Jennifer Love Hewitt?  Sally Kellerman?  This movie is about a race of lizard people and fairies who don't get along and then some stuff happens.  We pitch out an extended universe for this turd, so enjoy!

169: "The Magic Death Tree" - A Thousand Words (2012)

We've come to the end of The Fall Of Eddie Murphy and we are talking about his 2012 comedy A Thousand Words.  Murphy plays a motormouth literary agent who gets cursed by a magic death tree, for some reason.  A leaf falls off for every word he says and when the last leaf drops he will die.  You know, like a tree dies when all the leaves fall off.  Wait, that isn't true.  Meh, who cares?  All of this magic science is just the best guess of a spiritual guru.  He doesn't even know what's going on and it seems to be his magic death tree.  This movie has a lot of problems, the biggest of which involves a talking Austin Powers doll.  Enjoy!

168: "A Big Black Spaceship Dick" - Meet Dave (2008)

Question: If you were building a spaceship, would you make it look like you?  Would you make it anatomically correct?  Would you put a pencil sharpener in the nose?  Would you make it so it makes poopy faces when things come out the butthole?  All these questions are not answered in Meet Dave but it's still a pretty funny movie.  Eddie Murphy stars as the captain of an Eddie Murphy spaceship.  He and his crew are on Earth to steal the salt from our oceans but along the way they start to respect our way of life, which is reasonable as they are so close to humans to begin with.  We got one more movie after this for our Fall Of Murphy.  Enjoy!

167: "Bananas Exist In This Universe" - Showtime (2002)

We're continuing our Eddie Murphy binge with 2002's Showtime.  While not a good movie, it probably doesn't deserve the scorn it received.  Coming out the same year as The Adventures Of Pluto Nash and I Spy, two other Murphy bombs, probably didn't help it.  Murphy and De Niro play cops who get hired to star in a reality show that apparently has a tight post-production schedule as they are watching it almost instantly after filming it.  There's a lot that doesn't add up here and we get into all of it and also inadvertently prove O.J.'s guilt.  Enjoy!

166: "E Pluribus Butt Pie" - The Golden Child (1986)

We watched The Golden Child starring Eddie Murphy as a guy who likes finding lost children, the film never establishes that he works for the police force so we think pedophilia is just his hobby and his job is laughing.  If Eddie got paid per Eddie Murphy laugh in this film he would make as much money as, well probably however much money Eddie got paid to be in this turd.  A child with magical powers is being hunted by a bunch of demons and Eddie is "the chosen one" who can stop them.  It's a big mess.  Enjoy!

165: "It's Like A Metaphor" - How Sweet It Is (2013)

Well, we finally did it.  We reached out our hands to George's DVD shelf and watched the obscure Joe Piscopo musical from 2013, How Sweet It Is.  What a surprise this was.  We liked it!  Piscopo turns in a good performance, the movie knew when to be absurd and when to be sweet.  6 years after buying this, we found that it was money well spent.  Enjoy!

164: "Urine Scenes And Facials" - Hollywood And Wine (2009)

 
This week we watched Hollywood And Wine featuring SNL alums Chris Kattan, Norm MacDonald, Horatio Sanz and David Spade.  Written and directed by the brothers of late great SNL giant Chris Farley, Kevin and John Farley.  This movie gives us the answer to the question, is comedy genetic?  Turns out, No.  This movie is pretty abysmal except for the brilliant performance of Norm as an old school porn director and the exuberance of Horatio as the main character's best friend who has a penchant for throwing food items.  We also talk a bit about the premiere of SNL season 44 and Kanye West's pro Trump outburst.  Enjoy!
