Podcast appearances and mentions of shari headley

Enjoy some banter? How about an entertaining ramble? Well, today's episode includes both! Co-hosting with me is Bob Walters, host of the Locked Up Sports podcast out of New York. Bob joins me for my series “Lessons I've Learned From Movies” and today's movie is Coming to America with Eddie Murphy, the late, James Earl Jones, Shari Headley and Arsenio Hall. A classic right?  Being a native New Yorker myself, this movie is definitely nostalgic for me! It's also still so funny no matter how many years later you're watching it! For those who haven't seen it, here's the story: Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is an African prince with all the riches and powerful one could ever want, but he wants the ability to choose his own wife and someone who will love him for who he is and not his money. He doesn't want an arranged marriage but to travel to America and find his wife-to-be there. So, he goes to Queens, New York City with his right-hand man, Semmi (Arsenio Hall). He disguises himself as a foreign student and gets an entry level job at a fast food restaurant where people don't think much of him at all. He ends up falling in love with his perfect woman (Shari Headley) but struggles to reveal his real identity to her. He also is afraid to tell his father (James Earl Jones), the king, what he's done while in New York. Experience all the characters ups and downs, the prince's quest for true love, the hilarious stereotypes for New Yorkers, and of course, the great lessons this movie can teach us! In today's episode, Bob and I both talk about a few lessons we've each learned from this blockbuster film. We also play a fun East Coast / West Coast comparison game at the end - listen till the end for that!

Shoutout to our special guest @KennEdwinTV !! Coming to America is a 1988 American romantic comedy film directed by John Landis and based on a story originally created by Eddie Murphy, who also stars in the lead role. The film also co-stars Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, Shari Headley, and John Amos. The film was released in the United States on June 29, 1988. Eddie Murphy plays Akeem Joffer, the crown prince of the fictional African nation of Zamunda, who travels to the United States in the hopes of finding a woman he can marry and will love him for who he is, not for his status or for having been trained to please him. Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is the prince of a wealthy African country and wants for nothing, except a wife who will love him in spite of his title. To escape an arranged marriage, Akeem flees to America accompanied by his persnickety sidekick, Semmi (Arsenio Hall), to find his queen. Disguised as a foreign student working in fast food, he romances Lisa (Shari Headley), but struggles with revealing his true identity to her and his marital intentions to his king father (James Earl Jones).

The name, "Play", comes from his original MC name, "Playboy", which originated with a group called "Quicksilver and the Super Lovers",[1] which featured producer Hurby Luv Bug. It was with this group that he met Christopher "Kid" Reid, who was using the name "Kid Coolout" with a group called The Turnout Brothers. In time, all of the members of their respective groups moved on, and decided that they could work together as a duo. By shortening their nicknames, it would lead to the start of the group Kid 'n Play. With Kid, Play recorded three successful albums and starred in four hip-hop based comedy films: House Party, House Party 2, Class Act, and House Party 3. After the duo split in 1995, Play became a born-again Christian and focused on Christian hip hop. Today, Play is the founder and CEO of HP4 Digital, a pre- and post-production multimedia company for film, digital media, and theater. In 2010, Play starred as an undercover DEA agent in the independent film, The Return, which is currently in post-production and whose trailer can be seen on youtube.com.[2][3] Play was also a judge for the 8th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists.[4] [5] Personal life Martin, who is also the cousin of Martin Lawrence and Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, was born in Queens, New York. He is a graduate of the High School of Art and Design, in New York City. Martin has a son, Skyler Martin, with ex-wife Shari Headley (an actress best known for her role in the 1988 comedy Coming To America starring Eddie Murphy). The couple married in May 1993 and divorced in June 1995. Martin also has a child with his ex-girlfriend Janae Yvonne Jackson, named Vannessa Martin-Jackson, born in the 80's. Martin now resides in Durham, North Carolina, and was a hip hop teacher at North Carolina Central University until budget cuts forced the school to let him go in 2009. Upon learning of the firing, students began a petition for Martin to be given back the position, along with 9th Wonder. Martin also likes to devote time to the non-profit group Campaign 4 Change.

"When you think of garbage, think of Akeem!" Eddie Murphy was riding high through the 80s. John Landis, on the other hand, had had a string of flops, not to mention a very difficult Twilight Zone trial. Considering their success together with Trading Places, Murphy thought Landis could use a boost and brought him on to direct his fairy tale film Coming to America. It was the hit Landis needed, and yet another film cementing that Murphy was king of the box office. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Eddie Murphy series with Landis' 1988 film, Coming to America. We talk about why the film doesn't hold up that well for us now nearly 30 years after its release, even if it did seem to hold up more at the time. We chat about the script problems and director/actor relationship problems this film had, and how things ended up. We look at the talent and what they're bringing to the table – Murphy, Arsenio Hall, John Amos, James Earl Jones, Madge Sinclair, Shari Headley, Eriq La Salle and more. And speaking of talent, we discuss Rick Baker and his amazing effects work to transform Murphy and Hall into several other characters and how these not only hold up for us but also how they triggered an entirely new direction for Murphy's career to head. And we talk about the music and how 80s it feels. It's a fun conversation about a film that neither of us connected with nearly 30 years after we first saw the film. But it's still fun to watch and discuss, so check it out!
