Eddie Murphy plays Prince Akeem and, with the help of a whole lotta latex, several other supporting characters in the 1988 hit, "Coming to America." Back then, the movie charmed audiences and critics alike, and solidified Murphy as box office royalty. It also gave him an opportunity to be in a rom com. But now, decades later, is 80's Eddie still a King of Comedy? Should the barbershop scenes end up on the cutting room floor? And, are our two love interests following a rose-pedaled path to heartbreak? The Old Roommates head to Queens and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

Three Amigos! is a 1986 American comedy directed by John Landis and written by Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels, and Randy Newman, who also composed the film's songs. The film stars Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short as three out-of-work silent film actors who are mistaken for real heroes by the desperate inhabitants of a small Mexican village under threat from a notorious bandit and his gang.

Es sieht aus wie ein Unfall, doch leider ist dieser Film ist von langer Hand geplant: Die Fortsetzung von „Der Prinz aus Zamunda“ ist sehr typisch für aktuelle Filmproduktionen, vor allem für jene, die auf den #Streaming-Plattformen präsentiert werden. Hemmungslos wird dabei die Filmgeschichte nach funktionierenden Marken ausgeschlachtet, die mit einem halbwegs neuen Storytelling versehen werden sollen. Altstars dürfen noch einmal antreten und sich selbst zitieren. John Landis‘ Komödie von 1988 ist ein Kultfilm, entstanden zu einer Zeit, als #EddieMurphy auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere angelangt war. Nicht nur Nostalgiker können an diesem harmlosen Blödelfilm bis heute ihre Freude haben, auch wenn Humor sehr schnell altert, wird an mancher Szene ebenso ein jüngeres Publikum Gefallen finden. Und es wäre gar nicht so schwierig, diese Geschichte in einem Sequel gekonnt weiter zu spinnen, wenn man sich denn nur die geringste Mühe geben würde und etwas Talent mitbrächte. John Landis war ein Könner, Craig Brewer, der Regisseur von #Coming2America, ist es nicht. Keine Pointe gelingt, die Geschichte ist derart an den Haaren herbeigezogen, dass man schon nach Minuten das Interesse am weiteren Verlauf der Handlung völlig verliert – überdies dient sich der Film der schlimmsten YouTube- und TikTok-Ästhetik an.

We keep things spooky with our discussion of the cult classic An American Werewolf in London, including; werewolves on film, the fantastic makeup effects, cultural clashes, the move of horror from rural to urban, survivors guilt, Little Red Riding Hood, & more! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa An American Werewolf in London is a 1981 supernatural comedy horror film written and directed by John Landis. An international co-production of the United Kingdom and the United States, the film stars David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, Griffin Dunne and John Woodvine. The title is a cross between An American in Paris and Werewolf of London. The film's plot follows two American backpackers, David and Jack, who are attacked by a werewolf while travelling in England, causing David to become a werewolf under the next full moon.

On this edition of Parallax Views, we continue our annual Spooky Season series with a chilling deep dive into one of Hollywood's most infamous real-life tragedies — the Twilight Zone: The Movie helicopter crash. Journalist Steve Chain, author of Fly By Night: The Secret Story of Steven Spielberg, Warner Bros., and the Twilight Zone Deaths, joins the show to uncover the haunting true story that forever changed the film industry. Chain's explosive investigation revisits the 1982 disaster that claimed the lives of actor Vic Morrow and two children on set — and the five-year legal battle that followed. Was it a tragic accident, or was there a cover-up to protect some of Hollywood's most powerful names, including John Landis and Steven Spielberg? Chain pulls back the curtain on the shocking evidence, courtroom drama, and corporate maneuvering behind one of Tinseltown's darkest chapters. As part of Parallax Views' spooky season lineup, this episode isn't about ghosts or monsters — it's about real-life horror: power, negligence, and the human cost of spectacle. If you're fascinated by true crime, Hollywood scandals, media history, or the eerie intersection of fame and tragedy, you won't want to miss this one.

Day 19 – Episode 169: An American Werewolf in London (1981)On Day 19 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I head across the pond to revisit An American Werewolf in London (1981) — John Landis's genre-blending masterpiece that's equal parts horror, comedy, and tragedy. This film not only redefined transformation effects (earning Rick Baker the very first Academy Award for Best Makeup), but it also became a personal “gay gateway” for me — with its dark humor, male vulnerability, and the unforgettable charm and body of David Naughton. We talk about how Landis's tonal tightrope still works today, why the movie's blend of wit and carnage feels so unique, and how that haunting ending still hits like a punch to the gut.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

John Landis's Innocent Blood  There are times when you have to take what you can get from a project. This week Mr. Chavez & I look at John Landis's 1992 Horror/Mob/Vampire/Comedy, Innocent Blood. With a talent such as Landis, the strokes are broad and without nuance. Innocent Blood is no exception. There are definitely the seeds for an exceptional Horror/Comedy hybrid, however this film is serving far too many masters. Some of the Horror works. Some of the Comedy works. The problem is there's simply not enough dedication to either. You can't serve two masters. The Pros . . . Robert Loggia - The man is having a great time spoofing himself, the Mob genre, and Horror movies. With an exceptional supporting cast including the great Don Rickles and a "who's who" of 90s Mob faces, Innocent Blood  is a miss but a curious, interesting, and - somewhat - charming film. Take a listen and let us know what you think - gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many, Many Thanks.   For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

Insieme a Francesco Menici e a Michela Gorini ripercorriamo un dei film più divertenti, anarchici e intelligenti della storia del cinema, la commedia musicale "The Blues Brothers" diretta da quel pazzo scatenato di John Landis e interpretata dai super iconici John Belushi e Dan Aykroyd.

In the first episode of our annual Tales of Horror series, we dive into John Landis's iconic 1981 horror-comedy, “An American Werewolf in London.” Join us as we explore how this groundbreaking film stitched together raucous humor, visceral horror, and mournful tragedy to redefine the modern werewolf myth. We breakdown the chemistry between stars David Naughton and Jenny Agutter, the unforgettable performances of Griffin Dunne and John Woodvine, and the practical mastery of makeup artist Rick Baker that earned the movie its legendary status. From the youths' fateful trek across the English moor to transformation scenes that remain some of cinema's most grotesquely luminous moments, we discuss how Landis balances scares with sympathy, humor with heartbreak, and fate with humanity. We also examine the film's production history, its influence on later horror-comedy, and the enduring legacy of its creature design. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering the film for the first time, this episode unpacks why An American Werewolf in London continues to haunt and delight audiences decades later.Where To Watch An American Werewolf in London

Allan takes his turn in the September category and he doesn't disappoint! National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) Directed by John Landis

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) **LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED, GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF TRAUMATIC DEATH INVOLVING CHILDREN** Shortly after 2:00 A.M. on July 23, 1982, actor Vic Morrow paced nervously in front of a mock Vietnamese village at the Indian Dunes park just north of Los Angeles. Morrow could not help but feel uneasy as he watched the Huey helicopter approach the village for a final rehearsal. Years earlier, Morrow had had a premonition that he was going to die in a helicopter crash. . . . This is the story of ego, arrogance, a manslaughter trial, and the conduct of Director John Landis and his production team that resulted in the deaths of My-ca Dinh Le (7) , Renee Shin-Li Chen (6), and Vic Morrow (53). ***The YouTube video for this episode includes actual footage of a helicopter crash resulting in death.

Macon Blair (The Toxic Avenger, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore) joins Vespe to talk about one of the most impactful films of Steven Spielberg's career, Twilight Zone: The Movie. They dip into the tragedy, of course, but there's more to this anthology than the controversy. This film brings together some of the best filmmakers of the era in John Landis, Joe Dante, Spielberg, and George Miller and they're all given room to go as bonkers as they want to as storytellers. While not totally successful, it remains a highly entertaining film and a juicy conversation starter for movie nerds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Enjoy Movies!  This week, we head back to the Cold War comedy days of Spies Like Us (1985), directed by John Landis and written by Dan Aykroyd, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel. Inspired by the Hope/Crosby “Road” pictures, the film takes a satirical jab at espionage and military absurdities of the Reagan Era. Aykroyd and Chevy Chase play bumbling “spies” who are unwittingly used as decoys in a high-stakes mission to distract the Russians, only to accidentally stumble into the real operation and prevent World War III. We break down the story, the scathing humor, and the long list of cameos, from Frank Oz and Bob Hope to filmmakers Sam Raimi, Terry Gilliam, and Ray Harryhausen. We also compare Austin Milbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume against our secret agent bracket from a few weeks back to see how they stack up in spy cinema history. Are you a spy, like them? Do you still like the 80s political satire? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Doctor!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

This week, Joe and Dave are joined by Corpus Christi comedian Blake Trevino for a double-shot of absurd comedy and two craft beers from the great state of Texas. Blake requested to sit in on the brand-new The Naked Gun (2025) — directed by Akiva Schaffer, and starring Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson. It's loaded with slapstick, deadpan zingers, and a diarrhea joke that may one day be studied in film schools. We pair it with the 1977 cult classic The Kentucky Fried Movie, directed by John Landis and written by the legendary ZAZ trio (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker) who created Airplane! and The Naked Gun franchise. It's chaotic, horny, and hilarious — but does it age well? Spoiler: Not really, but it sure is something to behold.

Four directors remake several classic Twilight Zone episodes, as well adding as their own material. Does it work? Do anthology films work? Can this movie escape the tragedy that occured during production? Is this a movie, or just tv on a big screen? Starring Dan Ackroyd, Albert Brooks, Vic Morrow, Scatman Crothers, Kathleen Quinlan, and John Lithgow. Oh, and Dick Miller. Directed by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. Written by John Landis, Richard Matheson, Melissa Mathison, George Clayton Johnson, Jerome Bixby, and Rod Serling.

Note: This episode contains strong language. Griffin Dunne is Jack Goodman in John Landis’ classic horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London and Paul Hackett in Martin Scorsese’s After Hours and Loudon Trout in the Madonna-starring screwball comedy Who’s That Girl. He’s Uncle Nicky on This Is Us and Professor Dudenoff on Only Murders in the Building and Dr. Alon Parfit on Succession and Sylvére on I Love Dick. He produced After Hours and Running on Empty and Once Around. He directed Practical Magic and Addicted to Love and the documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold. His father was the journalist and novelist and movie producer Dominick Dunne. His aunt and uncle were the journalists and novelists and screenwriters Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne. His sister was the actress Dominique Dunne. His grandfather was a famous heart surgeon from West Hartford, Connecticut. In November, 2024, we recorded a conversation with Griffin Dunne on stage at The Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford. It’s a lot about that complicated, sometimes tragic, often hilarious family. And it’s about movies and TV and writing. And Hartford. This hour: Griffin Dunne.

The gang orders 4 fried chickens and a coke this week, as they review The Blues Brothers (1980). Blurring the line between SNL bit, real musical act, parody, and cool machismo, The Blues Brothers is an enigma from a bygone era that must be seen to believe. Our 4th and final movie for Car Chase May, chosen by the Classmates on Patreon, is a first time watch for all 3 of the guys, and a favorite by many in the class. How did you like The Blue Brothers?

Americans David Kessler and Jack Goodman's European trip is cut short in the north English moors when they fall foul of a lycanthrope. David awakens injured in London and quickly begins to lose resistance to his carnivorous lunar activities.Reception to John Landis' An American Werewolf In London was a mixed bag. Popular at the box office but dismissed by critics, it went on to have a huge influence on the genre thanks to its deft mixture of horror and comedy and its ground-breaking, Oscar winning make-up effects.ATRM are here to talk 5 pointed stars and full moons but we will not be threatened by walking meatloaf.Episode sponsors:BetterHelp: For a 10% discount off your first month with BetterHelp, click ⁠⁠here⁠⁠Connect with ATRM: To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron:Listen on ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ Listen on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠Spotify⁠Twitter: ⁠@ATRightMovies⁠YouTube: ⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠Instagram: ⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠Facebook: ⁠Join our movie group⁠Bluesky: ⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠TikTok: ⁠@alltherightmovies⁠Website: ⁠alltherightmovies.com
