## Resource

In this bonus tie-in show we are augmenting our June trip through John Landis comedies of the 80s with a conversation about his biggest hit of the decade, the Eddie Murphy-starring Coming to America . Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about Eddie Murphy's brightly shining star and what this movie meant for his career and how it was a lifeline thrown to Landis who had just emerged from years of court battles. We talk about Murphy playing a non-comedic lead while also saturating the film with cameo performances rooted in out-and-out comedy, the film functioning like a classic screwball, the many Zamunda antics and how Arsenio Hall rounded out the cast too.
