Eddie Murphy Month rolls on and we give thoughts to Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, discuss the recent situations of cinema, politics and the world, go down a Cameo rabbit hole, recall how films are made and find anything to talk about when broaching the subject of this entirely empty attempt at satire.
275 - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we’re celebrating with a bromance, both between Andrew and Johnny and Seth Rogen and… James Franco (No problems there, totally fine, all good, mmhmmm) with a stoner action flick that brought David Gordon Green and Danny McBride together, a movie that would lead to Universal spending $400m for Exorcist rights (and rites). We talk weed, Gary Cole at a film junket, Amber Heard, the TV show Sit Down, Shut Up and background artists.
216 - MONSTERS VS ALIENS
It’s time to forget the world and its many strange moments these last months, indulging in a Kiefer Sutherland/Reese Witherspoon/Rainn Wilson animated movie that Johnny has wanted to see for a long time. Yes it’s a very slight piece of Dreamworks Animation, but stay for the Invisible Man tangent, the examination of spin-offs and casting, and a little touch of monster-naming-and-power-having fun that only two very broken brains could let go on for so long.
131 - ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO
Finding some fun after an intense month, Johnny and Andrew let off steam with an under-discussed Kevin Smith film, and try to work out who they would cast in the leads a decade on.
