Welcome to In Review, the Podcast where either one or both of us have not seen the film we are about to watch.
While Jesse is well acquainted with Prince Akeem, Ryan is about to find about what the prince and the kingdom of Zamunda have to offer. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall lead a fantastic cast where they make multiple cameos themselves in this royalty-to-rags story that solidified Eddie as a comic legend.
Furthering Ryan’s Kurt Russell/John Carpenter education, Jesse introduces him to Big Trouble In Little China. An 80s classic, rife with synthesized music, “bad” acting, over-the-top action, special effects, romance, and cheesy one-liners to boot.
Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out, has already garnered critical acclaim and now has an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. And so, in preparation for the Oscars, Ryan shows Jesse the famous comedian’s attempt at the Horror/Thriller genre.
Welcome to our season finale. We bring you Schindler’s List, an epic from the esteemed Steven Spielberg. Even if you only watch it once, it will be worth it.
