Tell An Eddie Murphy fan to tell an Eddie Murphy fan that you love this podcast
shout out to rob ziegler yeah, so even the people, the black people with money, didn't live in beverly hills. They lived in um dare heights, windsor hills or baldwin hills black beverly hills. Yeah, right right.
Speaker 1:They lived over here because they knew we weren't welcome over there that's crazy, because I said I don't know the history of what it was when I watched Billy Hill's Cop. All I think about is what the other side looks like at that time. So what could be that it was a?
Speaker 2:cool movie, but I mean it was a good movie. My era there that's like one of the first movies I've seen, action comedy with a black male lead, like you know the 70s, with Richard Roundtree and Jim Brown or whatever. You know, that was the 70s black exploitation era. That was before my era. You know what I mean those low-budget movies probably only shown in before my era. You know I mean those low budget movies probably only shown in the black. You know neighborhoods, black movie theaters. Beverly hills cop was, you know, a major production shown everywhere with the black male lead. You know, so it was. It was a significant movie for me, for my generation, I think you know. But I think the first time I seen Beverly Hills Cop might have been maybe two, three years after its release date. I'm going to really age myself on a select TV, selecting like on TV. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:So it was released there on HBO. When I seen it, you know, like I said, I was 10, 11 years old in 84, so my parents wouldn't take me to the movies to see Beverly Hills Cop. You know Eddie Murphy was. You know he was a reincarnation of Richard Pryor.
Speaker 1:He wouldn't take me to see his movies. You know what I mean. You know what's funny. I have a friend that's around the same age as you and he told me his parents took him to see 48 Hours in the movie theater.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, I've seen that. My cousin and his mom took me to see that, but my parents wasn't going to. Even then it was like, yeah, take me to the movie, but they never told them what movie they would take me to see. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:That's funny. Now, what was like your first introduction to Eddie Murphy?
Speaker 2:Actually it was on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:You know that was like, you know, staying up late. I'm spending night at one of my friend's house and I'm sleeping over, you know we stay up late with the TV down low because it came on at, you know, 11.30, 11 o'clock at night, you know. So we had to sneak and watch that with Velvet Jones. And you know Buckwheat, mr Robinson's Neighborhood, you know. So that was my first introduction to Eddie Murphy. We would go back to school, like I said, at 84. I'm in the sixth grade, so in Los Angeles at that point, sixth grade, you're still in elementary school.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:You didn't make the switch over to middle school to seventh grade. It was seventh, eighth grade and ninth grade was middle school. In Los Angeles in those areas High school was 10th, 11th and 12th grade.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So that was my first taste with them, and then later again maybe that same with, maybe the year before, 83, 84, I'm not sure which, but again over my friends. I was down the street watching Delirious, like the funniest thing I had ever seen. You know what I'm saying. Ever heard, Did he?
Speaker 1:have cable. Did he have cable? He had the tape.
Speaker 2:He had the funniest thing I had ever seen, you know, did he have cable? Did he have cable he?
Speaker 1:had the tape.
Speaker 2:He had the tape. He had the Select Okay, the.
Speaker 1:Select TV Okay.
Speaker 2:So it was on HBO, like you know. Back then it was, I guess, technically cable, but again it only had a few channels. You know what I mean. It wasn't like nowadays, but yeah, just staying up, sneaking in, you know, and his, his older brother, you know, letting us watch that and we going back to school, you know, telling jokes, pull over, pull over, not knowing what that. You know what I mean oh man, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1:Now, when, after beverly hills cop came out and after eddie murphy hit the scene, what was the effect? Did you see a lot of people gravitating toward him? Because I know there wasn't a lot of famous people in the 80s. There was three famous black people in the 80s. That was Michael Jackson, eddie Murphy and Prince.
Speaker 2:Right, right, yeah. Well, you gotta remember. In LA in 84, it was the first few years of the crack era Gang banging was full fledged, full throttle, like gang banging in LA, like they were still tripping on colors.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:You know cripping. A guy with a red shirt on or a red belt or a red Nike stripe on his shoes they fled him Blood. See same thing, guy with a blue shirt on or a blue hat or blue Nike stripe they fled him. You know. So Darryl Gates was still the chief of police for the LAPD there.
Speaker 2:And you remember, in 84, the Olympics came to Los Angeles Right. So they were you know mass incarceration going around arresting everybody they could to so-called clean up the streets because the world was coming to LA for the Olympics. When they introduced the battle round, they, you know tank, with a you know ramming device on the front, instead of shooting you know missiles, or they had a big you know banner, so they were ramming in front of the houses so-called crack houses or gang you know houses and just arrested everybody. So it was, it was a wild time in LA. People in LA was, yeah, we listened to Michael Jackson, prince, and yeah, you know, watching Delirious, but it was a whole lot of other stuff going on that they weren't really you know what I mean concerned about.
Speaker 1:Now Eddie Murphy being in that red leather suit. How was he welcomed in your neighborhood?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like he didn't come where I live, I know he didn't. Eddie Murphy was a superstar, he said. You know, when he came to LA he was in Hollywood now I gotta ask you cause.
Speaker 1:A lot of times on this podcast we ask this one serious question what are your top 5 Eddie Murphy movies?
Speaker 2:top 5 Eddie Murphy movies. Alright, wow, top five Eddie Murphy movies. Yeah, alright, um wow, harlem Nights boomerang okay and even with boomerang, like my most memorable moment in boomerang is with uh Pop.

Speaker 1:Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of the Murphy Monday podcast, the only podcast that celebrates the life and career of Eddie Murphy. I'm your host, nigel A Fullerton. This week we wanted to do a special Beverly Hills Cop episode. However, with the new Beverly Hills Cop movie coming out this week, we wanted to do something different. We wanted to do a compare and contrast episode between Beverly Hills Cop the original movie and Beverly Hills Cop 4. In this episode we talk about the pilot for Beverly Hills Cop. We talk about Beverly Hills Cop 2, beverly Hills Cop 3. And what we predict Beverly Hills Cop 4 is going to be With me this week is my good friend, john Fudge Rickenbacker.
Speaker 1:You've heard him on the podcast several times. He's the unofficial, official co-host of this podcast. It's funny. We recorded this episode last week. Shortly after that, a interview with Eddie Murphy, a new interview with Eddie Murphy pops out and it's damn near everything that we had just said, like from the impressions of sliced alone to the whole Ghostbusters thing, to Eddie Murphy being the first international black superstar. So this is a great episode. If you haven't already, please like, share and subscribe. Tell an Eddie Murphy fan to tell an Eddie Murphy fan that you love this podcast and, with all hearts and minds clear, let's start this show. You've heard him from the life episode. You've heard him from Beverly Hills Cop 3 episode. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause for John Fudge Rickenbacker yes, I was also in the what's Going Down episode.
Speaker 1:My audience is not going to fall for a banana on the tailpipe on this one.
Speaker 3:You're not going to fall for a banana on the tailpipe.
Speaker 1:We wanted to do a special episode. I have that Donebelle Hills Cop cop episode. I will do that very soon. Right now, on the eve of basically what's happening with the new bethlehem's cop movie, axel f, we're trying to get compare and contrast and what our predictions are for what's going to happen with this movie. Um, you know, everybody knows that bethlehem's cop from IMDb says that after the murder of his childhood friend, the slick Detroit detective Axel Foley heads to sunny Beverly Hills on a one-man mission to ferret out the killer and bring him to justice. Before long, axel and his unorthodox methods unearthed the lucrative drug operation of the powerful local crime kingpin, victor maitland. However, foley too will find himself in deep trouble as lieutenant andrew bogermil wants him out of town now. Axel will have to team up with detectives john taggett and billy rosewood to shed light on the thick conspiracy and finish what he has started. Will Foley's total disregard for proper procedure bear fruit? We'll find out.
Speaker 3:He's parody. I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's AI. Ai can make anything look better. So whatever the person did on IMDb for that one, there we go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, that's not like I would watch it.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is probably one of the first action comedies. I think this is like a defining movie for that. I don't think there was an action comedy before. That was there defining movie for that.
Speaker 3:I don't think there was an action comedy before that was there, not to my knowledge. I feel like eddie murphy was the first of a lot of genres that he doesn't get a lot of credit for. I think we talked about in previous episodes or you definitely brought it up about him actually inventing rom-coms, in a sense like yeah, I mean for black people.
Speaker 1:I don't know if there was. Yeah, I don't know if there was, a rom-com probably. Let's say harry met sally. Let's say, um, I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but joe versus the volcano, I guess that was a a rom-com, tom hanks, you know it was tom hanks and meg ryan as well, so that's why I said that, but it's.
Speaker 1:There are a lot of genre-defining things, and I think this is one of his breakout starring roles. Axel Foley, this is the one that everybody was like okay, we've seen 48 Hours, we've seen you in Trading Places. Now let's see what you can do in a movie on your own where you are the star. Yeah, in a movie on your own where you are the star. Yeah, you know, I don't think there's anybody else in this that's known, besides judge Reinhold.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and he was older by that time, cause he was like a child actor.
Speaker 1:I think, I think I'm not sure. Like I know, I know him from fast times of Ridgemont high. Yeah, but that's like a high school movie, yeah, but that was only like I want to say 80, 81, true, and then you have this movie in 84. So he's kind of known, kind of not known, but he's known in this movie as the young kid yeah, yeah man, this was dope, a dope film man cause just Young kid.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah man, this was a dope film man because just I guess for that time this was like very groundbreaking seeing like a black lead and like pretty much almost like a black dude in a white world, almost.
Speaker 1:It definitely was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it wasn't predicated on his black. I mean, it had some racial things in it, but not too much. Like he was just a guy Like this old wisecracking dude, like it was believable, like he can get through certain things. It wasn't like he was just like this hood dude, even though he came from Detroit.
Speaker 1:He was just like this guy, who was very confident and sure of itself and just was fearless in a sense. Well, it was a fish out of water story, which we love. Um, back then in the 80s there was no internet, so you didn't know what happened in detroit versus what would happen in beverly hills. So like for him.
Speaker 1:It's definitely culture shock, like for him, to see people dressed up like michael jackson on the street, like that's not heard of. You know, to get a cappuccino, uh, with the lemon twist at an art gallery Like like.
Speaker 1:It's not, like these are characters and the people in Beverly Hills are people that he would never associate with. So you're taking him out of his element. That's what makes the movie funny. You know, um, it's different now when you try to do fish out of his element. That's what makes the movie funny. You know, um, it's different now when you try to do fish out of water stories, because there isn't. The water is only two feet deep now. So it's easy to find out about somebody's culture, about where somebody lives, just by googling it you know, rather than yeah, in in 1984.
Speaker 1:You didn't have that. You didn't. You didn't have that. You didn't have. Like I used to talk to like a lot of older dudes who were around the time when the movie came out and how LA and Beverly Hills was back then, and it's like it's night and day as well for them. So you have the Beverly Hills aspect of it, but then you have the gang aspect of L yeah, so it's.
Speaker 3:It's very gang oriented in that movie.
Speaker 1:It wasn't because you're in beverly hills. This is not the lapd, this is the beverly hills police department. So in california they have different police departments of the town. So like there's Compton PD, there's um, there's the LA PD and there's like Beverly Hills PD and a lot of the different towns have their own police departments. You know, I don't know if it still works on precincts or well, but I do know that at there was a time when a specific town had their own police department. So for Eddie Murphy, as a Detroit police officer, you know, coming from Detroit, living in Detroit, going on his street sense and his knowledge, you know, trying to do the neutron dance in Detroit, meets up with his old friend, get his friend, gets shot and then he's like okay, I have to find out what's going on in Beverly Hills, to find out what's going on with his murder, and in that he runs into a world of people, a different world that he's never seen before, and runs against stuff Like he gets thrown out of a window.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:On your, on your a window, yeah, on your first day.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I wouldn't even begin to. I would have to go home after that. I couldn't get out.
Speaker 1:He just walked in and threw me out the window. I drove all the way here just to get thrown out a window.
Speaker 3:Does he have to pay for that window? I think they said that he had to pay for that window, like they just broke, they made him.
Speaker 1:I think they said that he had to pay for the window that's crazy.
Speaker 3:They threw him out the window.
Speaker 1:He gotta pay for it now, what are your favorite moments of? Of beverly hills, cop uh, the 1984 movie?
Speaker 3:um well, first off, I like the fact that, um, this is a, this is. I think Eddie Murphy kind of showed all his skills and like almost like a foreshadow to what he was going to do character wise in his movies.
Speaker 3:After that he did a lot of stuff similar to Bowfinger, where he's the same guy but he's doing different characters within it, just to like almost like he's a master of disguise wearing the exact same thing right right um, one of my favorite parts is, um, just how he maneuvers through certain conversations, how he gets people to believe that he's a cop um from beverly hills, or that he's a foreman, or like, for instance, like damon wayne's part, which is like that's the top one that sticks out to me.
Speaker 1:It's so short of a scene um, but it's so weird of a scene too, right yeah, it's like it doesn't fit, but it does I need a couple of bananas.
Speaker 4:How much of it? Well, the buffet plate is 12.50. You get peaches, plums, oranges and bananas. All I need is a couple bananas. All I need is a couple of bananas.
Speaker 3:Go ahead and take those bananas it does, because then he uses that again later on with Victor Maitland, and I don't know if that was a correlation, I don't even know, did that?
Speaker 1:scene come beforehand. You know what I think it came.
Speaker 3:After, because he got the bananas first when they were following him.
Speaker 1:Right, it was after, but again a big trope what they used to do, which a lot. I'm sorry for them now, but a lot of comedians used to do a more effeminate voice to make fun of the LGBTQ community, the.
Speaker 3:LGBTQ.
Speaker 1:See, but I got it right. I got it right yeah.
Speaker 3:You did it. Let's get a bit of ticket.
Speaker 4:But I have to talk to Victor. It's very, very important. Are you sure it's Victor Maitland you want? Oh yes, Victor Maitland, the gray-haired gentleman, very dark skin, Capricorn Victor.
Speaker 5:Well, why don't you give me the message and I'll take it?
Speaker 4:to him. Okay, I guess I can do that. Tell Victor that Ramon, the fellow he met about a week ago, tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today and I found out that I have herpes simplex 10. And I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off on the man perhaps you better tell him that you know.
Speaker 1:I think that would be best but yeah, cuz I just watched the whole documentary on call outstanding in comedy and it's it's about LGBTQ and plus comedians who like what they had to go through and the things. And one of the people they mentioned is eddie murphy and they talk about how his you know he's known notoriously in his comedy special for making fun of gay people specifically so you know it was a trope. It was a thing that they were doing.
Speaker 3:Now that's something that they couldn't do anymore, but back then they did that for laughs yeah, me personally, looking back at it, because I know a lot of stuff didn't uh right date well, like, like from his stand-up movies. But that specific scene didn't necessarily um well for me. But I mean, obviously I'm heterosexual, but just in case you didn't know, uh, but at the same time, like I don't feel like it was, I felt like it was. It proved the point, you know, because they had to make the situation uncomfortable, um, for victim aytman to you know, to come out so that they can get them outside, or what have you. I mean I liked it and I didn't feel like it was negative.
Speaker 1:Like I never. I mean, I don't feel that it's negative, but I can understand if somebody's offended by it.
Speaker 3:Of course. Yeah, I mean I could be offended by Glory, but you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Now Glory has some funny moments in Glory.
Speaker 1:Now I cannot say Lord, my Lord, like it has Get your hands off me, nigga.
Speaker 2:I ain't no, nigga's half. I ain't no, nigga's half.
Speaker 3:Morgan Freeman was 54 when he grew up.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, and he looks so old now, oh my gosh, he just looks so old now.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, he just grew into his age. He's under 54.
Speaker 1:It's funny because Eddie Murphy, on his press tour for Axl F, has been saying do not give me any roles that you would not give to Morgan Freeman. He's like, please. He's like, I'm 63 years old, do not give me any roles that you wouldn't give to Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 3:That's what I want. That is hilarious.
Speaker 1:Because, again, this man, when he does Beverly Hills Cop, he is 21 years old Sheesh In a movie, in a movie and this is what's even dope about this movie In a movie that he wasn't even supposed to be in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was for Sylvester Stallone Right.
Speaker 1:Imagine that and they never changed. They never changed anything from the movie, which is crazy.
Speaker 3:You're not going to fall for the banana chip.
Speaker 1:You're not going to fall for the bananapipe. Yeah, you know you're going four foot banana in the tailpipe.
Speaker 3:Imagine the victim. Imagine that scene with Damon Wayans.
Speaker 5:Nothing like Axel Foley. I'm going to put a banana in your tailpipe. It would have been menacing, it would have been mean when he was like you're going to follow me, I'm going to put a banana in your tailpipe. No funniness, phil.
Speaker 2:Hey, come on. Phil baby, give him a kiss. Hey, come on.
Speaker 3:Phil, baby give him a kiss, hey Phil, hey, yo, hey yo, hey yo Phil.
Speaker 1:But it's wild to know that, to know that that movie was supposed to be number one, more graphic as the movies were of the time and two supposed to start with the star of Stop of my Mom Will Shoot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, rambo, that's Rambo.
Speaker 1:I know it's Rambo, but I didn't want to just go to Rambo. I could have said Rocky, I could have said any other movie but Rambo. You know you have Rambo playing the Beverly Hills cop, which wouldn't work, and that's why, to get somebody who is known for humor more than action films, it actually worked.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, and it sparked a whole list of movies that are Beverly Hills, cop clones, movies like Rush Hour or Even Money Talks.
Speaker 3:Big Mama's House 7. No, bad Boys, bad Boys.
Speaker 1:But yeah, big Mama's House has it also where he's going under cover. But again, it's an action quote-unquote action comedy. An action quote-unquote action comedy. You know, bad boys quote-unquote action comedy. This, this stuff did not work, like it wasn't a thing. We didn't have hyphenated movies. It's kind of like my argument with the movie ghostbusters.
Speaker 1:You know, ghostbusters is considered a comedy, but it's not a comedy. It's more of a hybrid of of a type of film that you know. We don't call the the guardians of the galaxy action movies. We don't call the marvel movies action movies. They're movies with humor. We don't call them comedies. We don't really call them action movies. What do we call them?
Speaker 1:marvel you know what I'm saying. Like what? What's the genre? That's what I'm saying like what's the john like? If it's the ant-man movie, you know it's about to be funny. Do you call it a comedy? You can't, you can't categorize it as a comedy. So what do you call it?
Speaker 3:well, action comedy, which, right, I mean, that's what I would think, because it's not suspenseful. Yeah, it's not suspenseful, but that's that's what I would think because it's not suspenseful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not suspenseful, but that's that's what I'm saying. Like, all they had back then was suspense, thriller, comedy, drama yeah, that's it. Yeah. Oh, horror, that's it. Yeah, and that's normally. The horror is in suspense and thriller and stuff like that, but that's all they had. They didn't have anything else. So for them to come out of the box with a person who has only did a handful of films, like Eddie Murphy did not do Ghostbusters, to do Beverly Hills, cop yeah, yeah, he didn't even do Ghostbusters.
Speaker 1:No, no, he didn't. He was supposed to be Winston Zegmore.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He was supposed to be. You were ever Axl. You were that close to being a Ghostbuster.
Speaker 5:And I would love to know how far you got in the process of figuring out who your Ghostbuster was going to be before Axl came along. It was really simple. I was going to do Ghostbusters, but Beverly Hills Cop was a leading role and Ghostbusters was like an ensemble thing and I was one of the guys. So we went with Beverly Hills Cop and I had never done you know, I had never been the lead guy Right? Well, I think you made the right choice.
Speaker 5:Well yeah, because Ghostbusters is a really classic. I would love at best I would love to have been in both of them. They're still making them, man. Yeah, but back then that would have been cool. Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop they would have shot a rocket off of my yard, that would have been crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a whole other thing can of beans, but that's the. Thing but back to back to beverly hills cop. It's. It's a, it's a great film that we all love. Now, with the sequels that we've had, we have beverly hills, cop 2, uh, which was decent, but it was more action heavy than it was with comedy. Beverly hills, cop 3 they tried to make it more comedy than they tried to do action, which kind of felt lackluster, like I always say. With Beverly Hills, cop 3, it's John Landis' film.
Speaker 3:I feel like they were trying to make it more family friendly.
Speaker 3:I think, with the whole idea of it being an amusement park, like we, only even us like we were cause, like even us, like we were younger when we saw it, when it came out, and us working at an amusement park, we had we kind of had we liked it a little more. I mean actually, honestly, out of the three besides, one, like if I had to pick like three is second, I actually liked three Only because of the reasons like the okie dokie shuffle I was actually having this conversation okie shuffle and um, just uh, working at amusement park. Obviously we know like the ins and outs like stuff, but we always follow like behind the scenes stuff going on in adventureland and stuff like that, so follow our story. But, um, yeah, I actually like um wonder world and I thought it was pretty cool to see like something like disney world on the fritz and the uh annihilator 2000 like it's so much other stuff like it's, even though they went comedy heavy and a little bit more like slapsticky.
Speaker 3:And the third one actually actually liked it. It was a change of pace and I felt like out of the three and he was older than two, so like one and I actually liked it. It was a change of pace. I felt like out of the three and he was older than two, so one and three, I liked the most out of them.
Speaker 1:I don't hate Beverly Hills Cop 3. I don't I actually do like the movie. I will watch the movie, but I also know the limitations of the movie.
Speaker 1:It's not the best movie, you're right, it's not the best movie, but there are certain things that make you laugh in that movie that you're like okay, I like this movie. It's not a Beverly Hills Cop movie, though. That's the thing, especially coming off of Beverly Hills Cop 2, which was more. You could tell they had a bigger budget than Beverly Hills Cop 2. It was more like Miami Vice than it was anything else.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, yeah, I would definitely go back and watch all of them in succession, but yeah, because a lot of the one and two kind of bleed into each other especially like the storyline.
Speaker 3:But yeah, I mean I guess it's all error too, because it's all, I guess, preference, because if you're known like, if you follow Eddie Murphy more for his funnier stuff, especially back, then you would like three more than two maybe if you like to see him rank. A lot of people didn't like to see him too serious, which was kind of hard for him too, I'm sure.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, it's a double-edged sword. What happens with comedic actors? Whereas in the beginning of your career all they want from you is funny, but toward the end of your career, all they want from you is drama.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, it's like if you look at a person like Jim Carrey, whereas Jim Carrey was a person that we only went to for comedy, then he started going left and started doing the Truman Show, and he started doing man on the Moon and like 23.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he did.
Speaker 1:But he was experimenting. Because, again, if you're stuck in a lane where it's just comedy, for us as a viewing audience, we find comedy to be dated sometimes and what happens? When we watch these movies we're like, okay, well, that's a little old, that's a little childish, that's this, that, wherever your preference is now as an adult versus when you were a kid, you're like, oh, how can they just have, like Boga mills daughter just come out of nowhere. She wasn't in the first movie. You know we harp on things that don't make sense and we don't shouldn't really care about.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's 10 facts and theories we shouldn't care about. Care about the storyline Story as long as they don't change Bronson Pinchot, that's it.
Speaker 1:And this Beverly Hills Cop, axl F. I mean this movie is like 20 years in the making, maybe even 30 years in the making, to be honest with you, because they've been trying to do a Ben Little's Cop sequel for so long. It's funny when we talk about Eddie Murphy, we get mad about the sequels that he makes, but everybody's always asking for a sequel.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and not only that even though we asked for it. I feel like he he delivered. I feel like it's hard to kind of create lightning in a bottle twice, especially during that time period, because there's a lot of stuff that you can't do. Some of the reasons why we like eddie murphy is because he said whatever he wanted and we accepted it. And like we didn't like to me, like in my household, like when my family, when I was growing up, like we looked at any Mercury was like he was our like how people would see a Tom Cruise or um, um, how people see Will Smith now or um, or the slap and um. You know Tom Hanks because he did so many different movies and you he always showed you didn't really, you didn't really think about race too much in his movies.
Speaker 1:You didn't. He was, yeah, he was somebody who didn't have, who wasn't. He was kind of like raceless. I had this conversation with my wife a couple of times where and about a black celebrity in the eighties, whereas if you think about black celebrities who were not, uh, let's say, quote unquote singers, you only had a handful of actors that, like, were quote unquote sex symbol celebrities. You know, know, I'm saying especially like eddie murphy's at the top of that food chain. Maybe you have him and maybe you have oj simpson and that gap was was extreme.
Speaker 3:That's a wide gap that's a wide gap. Philip michael thomas but like honestly though, when you really think about it.
Speaker 3:That's so crazy because it's almost like he was in a in lack of a better term like the Michael Jackson of like yeah, Because of the fact that he was kind of poppy in the sense that he was universal Cause, like they wouldn't give him those type of paramount deals If he were, if he wasn't like a guy that generated money and like so obviously it wasn't just black people going to see him, it was everybody going to see him.
Speaker 1:And let's be honest, if you look at the movies and I've said this several times if you look at the movies in the 80s that were predominantly black, let's just say that in general that had black leads. I'll say that instead of what I'm saying. If you look at the movies that had black leads in the 80s, there were not that many. We were just we're off the heels of the black exploitation era in the 70s.
Speaker 5:So when you get to the 80s, they believe hollywood believes that black people can't lead films before beverly Beverly Hills Cop, there had never been a movie that would star a black man, a black person, that was successful all around the world. And even still to this day, when black folks we make movies, most of the time they work in the States and outside of the country they don't work. But Beverly Hills Cop and Nutty Professor, I had movies that have worked all the way around the world. Coming to america. You know what beverly hills cop started it. It started that the whole. You know all around the world. That's where you get, that's where you get uh will and uh the rock. They do it now, but bever Beverly Hills Cop is the first one that did it and this is why I said that with Eddie Murphy, because he's number one, colorless Number two.
Speaker 1:He came through Saturday Night Live who was, you know, kind of in. They kind of were like at a point where they were not great again. You know what I'm saying. Like everybody from the original cast left, you know. Here you have this young kid who is making fun of race, sex, um, classism, racism, like anything you, anything you can think of. He's doing it and he's different and he's funny and he's fearless and he becomes this, this, this star, only from doing the movie with this guy, nick Nolte, who only people know from North Dallas 40, which I've never seen the movie.
Speaker 3:The fact that you have that information is amazing.
Speaker 1:But, like I looked it up one time because I wanted to know, I wanted to know is Nick Nolte a big star? Because, again, when you hear Nick Nolte talk about Eddie doing that movie, he's like, oh, this young guy doing the movie, and you know, he's just, I don't know if he can act. Meanwhile, Nick Nolte is drunk. Nick Nolte is a drunk. He drunk right now. No, but I'm saying like, remember that SNL episode where Eddie Murphy was like, yeah, you know, nick Nolte is supposed to host the show, but he came in with some vomit on his shirt and he told me to host the show.
Speaker 3:They said it really didn't that really happen. It really happened, he wasn't lying. He said it'll be a funny thing me to host the show, which they said it really did not really happen, like he really.
Speaker 1:It really happened, he wasn't lying he said it'll be a funny thing, you tell him all about it.
Speaker 4:And he just left when nick got here and got off the plane he vomited on my shirt. We realized nick was too sick to do the show and it's too bad because nick was gonna be in some real great stuff tonight. But I know you people tune in to see one of the stars of 48 Hours host the show and, damn it, you're going to see it because.
Speaker 5:I'm going to host the show Live from New York. It's the Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 3:Show. Yeah, I wish I had that luxury. The funny thing is I didn know Nick Nolte's still blue chips Right.
Speaker 2:I don't think anybody knows Nick Nolte except for those movies, except for blue chips.
Speaker 1:You know it's and and again, that's. That's the thing you put him in in that movie with Nick Nolte and then you're like, okay, well, let's try it again. Maybe it was just a fluke, right, maybe it was a fluke. And then they do Trading Places, where you have Dan Aykroyd as the star, but who ends up stealing the show? Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 3:And the funny thing is he's not top billing on either one of them. But when you see Eddie Murphy's top movies, he's the guy and it's like it's crazy. It's similar to when we talk about how Bad Boys 1, martin was top billing, right, but what everybody talks about it just gradually shifted to being Will Smith and Martin now, and it's just how it is. And that's why those who are aspiring comedians and actors it don't matter what parts you got you get an opportunity to kill it. Kill that joint, because that's all Anthony Murphy did.
Speaker 3:He just took no prisoners and I feel like that Phyllis approach that um, you know that that comes from doing stand-up, obviously, but he also watched a lot of television, you know, and that probably played a role with, like how he would say, like he would take bruce lee's eyes and muhammad ali's swag and all those different and elvis's swag and all those different and Elvis's swag and like you see those things and that's all. Like you know, just creating a type of person where it's like, look, I am a star, y'all eventually will catch up and that's that's dope man. It's like that's what. Like Eddie Murphy can teach a masterclass without even saying a word. All you gotta do is just watch his transition through his movies. And this is like it just made sense, like you didn't know why it made sense, it just did Right. Like yeah, it's just like he just was. Just like yeah, he's supposed to be there, cause he, we believe it.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, and now we're. We're in a renaissance of eddie murphy where these movies are coming out, where the the sequels to movies that people wanted. You know what I'm saying? Because people ask for. People ask for a sequel to coming to america, like they ask for sequels to these movies. People always ask for another axel foley movie, even though some of these movies were not the best you know critically. But a movie like axel foley, you know, this new beverly hills cop movie, it's, it's like, it's it's more of. I want to say it. It took a good 30-year process because it had to Like. I remember when the pilot for Beverly Hills Cop came out.
Speaker 3:You know, I heard that there was. You're talking about the television show with Brandon T Jackson Right with Brandon T Jackson and I remember hearing about it.
Speaker 1:I'm like, okay, cool, this is like 2013. I'm like cool, this is about to be a Beverly Hills Cop show. And Eddie Murphy was like, okay, cool, this is like 2013. I'm like cool, this is about to be a Beverly Hills Cop show. And Eddie Murphy was like, okay, I'll be in the first episode, but I'm not going to be there for the whole show. And CBS canned it. They killed it because they couldn't get Eddie Murphy to commit. Now we've actually seen the pilot for that. Yeah, and it was a good pilot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was really good.
Speaker 2:Hands in the air now.
Speaker 5:I know I ground you a couple of times, but damn.
Speaker 3:And I felt like his presence in that first episode would have definitely solidified Brandon T Jackson as a bona fide star, because he was coming off of, um, the lottery ticket, the performance and roll bounce like he was. He had it. He had that it right. Um, I just felt like he needed that. You know that nod. I felt like I guess he thought that, uh, big mama's house, too, was going to do that for him. But uh, you know, that didn't work out quite well.
Speaker 3:But oh yeah, big mamas nah I'm not knocking it, because people gotta do what they gotta do. Look, I don't know if I would look if they pass me a joint, so I gotta look like raven's phone. Whatever I, let me ladies build my god. But but you know, I felt like I guess people um, you know people panic. It's easy to trust a thing that works. It's harder to take a chance on certain things. But I feel like now, like you were saying, 30 years later, with Netflix and all these things, where you can have standalone movies and you can have stuff for nostalgic purposes because you know there's going to be an audience for it and you don't have to worry about ticket sales because it's like people are going to just click on it. You know, I mean like if you love eddie murphy, you're going to give it a try.
Speaker 1:You want to at least watch it once right and I think this, I think axel f is actually going to be good, it has to be, I, I but I think it's like, I don't think that it's going to be the funniest Number one, I don't. I don't think that it's going to wow us, but I do think that the nostalgia factor, kind of like with a come to America, like the nostalgia factor would say, would make us say, okay, this is a decent movie. You know, it will make us feel like, okay, taggart's in it, I, rosewood is in it. Okay, cool, who else is in there? Bronson pinchoff, like I don't know.
Speaker 3:I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that he's in it even if it's too second, like that's all I need, like, and sometimes you don't got to reinvent the wheel like. I felt like, um, not to jump around but coming to coming to america. Um, for the most part I liked how they tied in the story. I didn't agree with some of the casting of it. Um, I felt like they did because it was, you know, post pandemic. The pandemic was kind of lifting, so I can understand the limitations with that too. Um, but I liked how they they um, made a way for him to actually have a kid in it. It would have been believable. Like how they did that CGI scene of him in the bar and like the stuff that we know, the movie that we loved about the movie.
Speaker 3:I felt like they did good oaths and nods to the original film. I felt like, obviously, the limitations. It wasn't as grungier Like when you go back and watch the original Coming to. It wasn't as grungier Like when you go back and watch the original. Same with the first Beverly Hills cop. It was like a, like a dirtiness to it. I felt like by the time they got the three, the joint, the streets were like washed.
Speaker 1:It's wonder world.
Speaker 3:Detroit felt like it was like.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, detroit yeah.
Speaker 3:It was like mad clean, like they was like was like you're clearly on the set now, but, like you know, but it's cool, man. I'm interested to see how they're going to tie in, obviously, all the things we loved about the films but also just have an original story that that will have some replay value. I actually don't want it to just be something that we just watch one time. I want to be able to watch it several times. We shot all his old movies. I can't say coming to America. As much as I loved it. I only could watch it once because of the fact that I didn't want to taint it. I was okay with the feeling I felt after watching it. I had too much expectation like this one, like even actual f. I'm not going to have a lot of expectations as long as they don't crap the bed and drop the ball too much, just get in and get out I don't yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1:However, I do think reality has to set in a little bit. Like, if you're like, okay, Taggart is still on the force, Taggart got to be at least almost 80.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because he has to be retired or something he has to be like.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Billy could be still working, but yeah, they got to be in an old folks home or something I like and eddie was supposed to be older in the first, like you remember.
Speaker 1:Well, like you remember, because we were saying how, uh, sylvester stallone was supposed to be in the movie and everybody was casted around as sylvester stallone, but they replaced actors. The problem was with the story and the actors. They, they tried to make Eddie older. So it was like you know, eddie had to be even though Eddie was 21,. He had to be on the force for a little while, you know what I mean. So he had to be at least 27, 28.
Speaker 3:And, yeah, I can understand that, like, I would even say like I don't even know, like what his thing would have been like. But how was he like, what is his position in Detroit, or even if he is on the force or if he's a private private?
Speaker 1:I would like him to be the inspector, true. How come he can't be inspector, todd? Yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean he died in the third one right. Like I would imagine that would make sense to have him and like I wouldn't even be mad at them, um, him having guys under him, that against. Like eventually they'll spin off like similar to what they did with bad boys. But have you know, bringing that next iteration, like what they've tried to do with brandon t jackson, but kind of doing it in a more organic way where you leave like all right, hey, mercury, axel foley's going into the sunset, but we got this next generation of, uh, beverly hills cop. If we want to continue the genre or go to, I don't know, los angeles cop or orange county cop Orange.
Speaker 1:County cop. I mean it's, you know. I would love that. I would like to see Paul Reiser in this. I think, that he'd probably be in a position where either he would be, he could be Todd.
Speaker 3:He could be.
Speaker 1:Todd. He could be expected, todd, you know, or they could be working on something deep, deep, deep undercover.
Speaker 3:I feel like he could go into business for himself and be a private investigator, like he's retired and just doing his own thing.
Speaker 1:That could be something too, because I don't see Eddie being Axl Foley, the legendary Axl Foley, for so long. Because, again, if you're 63 right now, you know, and let's just say you know, let's just age him up for a little while longer Like you're not going to be able to do all this stuff. Like he said it in all his press conferences that he's been doing, he's been doing press for this movie the past couple of weeks and he said, like I don't want to do anything that Morgan Freeman ain't doing.
Speaker 1:No-transcript, yeah, I would imagine yeah yeah, some people in the third one that afro was getting little is, uh, his stunt guy. I think his name was vernon or something like that. Like it's a guy that looks exactly like eddie murphy. I gotta find the picture. I know, I, I know, I know where the picture is somewhere, but there's a guy that is eddie murphy stunt double and he looks exactly like eddie murphy yeah, well, you asked me a question earlier.
Speaker 3:I wanted to know I just wanted to return it back to you what was one of your favorite moments in the original?
Speaker 1:Well, I would say the Beverly Hills cop as a whole in the series. Okay, in Beverly Hills cop one, I think my favorite scene is and I think probably in all the Beverly Hills cops probably a strip club, the strip club scene where he's, you know, dancing and and he's he, you know, dancing and and he's he, you know he got Rosewood and taggered with him and they're like they're not really having a great time, they don't want to be there and Eddie's like he sees that these guys are casing the joint and he actually, you know, does a diversion to stop the guys and it shows him actually doing police work, rather than being thrown out windows and pretending to be other people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can see that because it's showing how like he actually knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3:And I felt like that that made it make sense. Like you didn't see, like how is this guy going to be a cop? Like you believe it. Yeah, like I get that too. Like I, I liked it because it showed like all right, yeah, he's from the inner city, but you guys have no idea. Like you have to have a like a look and and then also to to piggyback off what you're saying, like that kind of showed, because that later on came back at the end when they kind of had to dirty up themselves. Like you have to have some form of grit to really like do some good in the world and really try to get these guys, who kind of got to think like a criminal in a sense, right Because he's crossing the line throughout the whole thing, like he's just literally like breaking into houses, he's living in places that he ain't supposed live in.
Speaker 1:I mean, he fractured a couple laws or two, but yeah, he wasn't always a cop.
Speaker 3:People, ladies and gentlemen, he wasn't always a cop yeah the crayon they tab lat but it's, it's I.
Speaker 1:I wish they would have called this uh beverly hills cop old guys, because that's that's what it looks like when I saw it. There's a clip that they show in the movie on a trailer where Taggart, rosewood and Axl are all in the car together and I'm like this just looks like some old guys is putting their badges back on and going out there and trying to stop some crime, because the story of the movie and I don't know all of the story or all the plot yet, but I do know that joseph gordon levitt and um uh, taylor page is uh playing his daughter- okay oh, um this just in.
Speaker 3:Uh, bronson pinchot is in the movie oh, I kind of didn't want to know. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I'll edit it out. I mean but this is also like let me just be clear, this is also IMDb, so you could submit somebody and not know.
Speaker 3:But I mean I would imagine that he's in there because I'm sure he wasn't getting no perfect stranger checks, no time.
Speaker 1:So he definitely wasn't.
Speaker 3:I am in my will take checks is going down yeah.
Speaker 1:If I'm not getting any rap, shit checks. I know he's not getting any, so please.
Speaker 3:Everybody that's watching or listening, please like. I know this is off the cuff, but if you you follow us and you like what you heard, please follow our social media platforms. Please watch the shows that we are on um, please, because that definitely does help us out. Even if you're not watching it, just let it run in the background yeah you know what's funny.
Speaker 1:But what was real funny? Um, I was watching a. I was watching a podcast, I think it's uh, the host is uh, maestro, I don't know if you know him. He's from the wire. He played randy on the wire and he interviews actors. So he was interviewing an actor friend of mine and he was talking about what he gets you know, recognized for all the time, and he was in person, was talking to him. He was like, nah, I remember you, what I remember you from. This man is thinking snowfall. Right. He's thinking, well, you know just the snowfall, I'm in LA, maybe a snowfall. He goes. Nah, nah, it was that that show, that that show about the 80s. It was on the get down. This fool said, yeah, I don't even remember doing the get down and I'm like, damn, I gotta be a working actor like him.
Speaker 1:He don't even remember, he don't even remember the thing that we're in together, the scene I was in with you, man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, maybe he was trying to Hollywood. Who was he in?
Speaker 1:Snowfall he's Big Dion okay, got you the one that got choked out by jerome yeah, yeah, oh leon, he got choked out by leon, yeah, yeah yeah, the one that got hit with the bottle so, overall for this movie, what would you expect for, like the storyline to be, or what kind of what would make you say, okay, I'm, I'm okay with this movie?
Speaker 3:um, I would say that it would just have to make sense in the sense of like a reason why he would come back to Beverly Hills, a reason why he would have to go looking for whomever he's looking for, to track down with, you know, with the help of his buddies. I want to see, like as many people as they can bring back that is alive or that is able to do it back. I want to get that nostalgia factor Anytime. I just like seeing Eddie Murphy on my screen. I watched that Christmas movie he did. It was fun. I forgot what the name of it was.
Speaker 1:Kenny Kane Lane.
Speaker 3:That was fun and like because of the thing is it's like Eddie Murphy for me can never do wrong. Even Metro Holy man, it doesn't matter, he can never do any wrong for me. But I like the fact that he has movies now where I can watch with you know my son and educate him. For instance, my wife didn't know Eddie Mercury other than his later stuff with Shrek. She didn't realize that he was on SNL, she didn't realize that he was a comedian. I got to relive a lot of that stuff through her. And then also now my son got this, we watched Candy Cane Land together. He loves that movie. So like just being able to see those things and like start that next generation of Eddie Murphy in the next era of a life as kids, as teens, as young adults and now, you know, adult adults, old-ass, nick.
Speaker 3:So like now that's funny we classify them that way yeah, so I'm looking forward to. Just like I said, I don't have any expectations. As long as they cover those grounds, I get to see the actors that was in the previous movies. They have some of the throwbacks from other movies and the plot is decent.
Speaker 1:I'm OK. What about you? I think what I need to see from this is them not trying to be funny. I think, if you have a good story if there could be a funny quip, cool. But don't try to like joke me to death like you tried to do with Beverly Hills, Cop 3. Because that's not where it comes from. We are in a society where we want our comedy and our movies grounded.
Speaker 1:We want it to be grounded in some sort of reality and we want we don't want it to be corny. As long as it doesn't do that, as long as it doesn't suck, I'm happy Like. You ain't got to do nothing else, you just got to just not make it suck. I've seen this movie several times. I know what this movie is going to do. Just don't make it suck, you know, there's a difference between House Party and House Party. 3 and House.
Speaker 4:Party, the remake.
Speaker 1:House Party 4. And House Party, the remake.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, there's a way big difference, it's cutting, it's the biggest difference. Lord have mercy. That joint went left super fast.
Speaker 1:It was really bad. It's the only movie to be out on max one year and then on to two be the next. It's the only movie to be out on max one year and then on to two be the next.
Speaker 3:That's crazy, yeah, and then it just got the Animal House like cover on it.
Speaker 1:I'm like it was just bad and it's produced by LeBron.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, I felt weird watching that movie. I was like what did I?
Speaker 1:It's not House Party. It's not House Party, Whatever it is. It's not the White man Can't Jump remake was better than the House Party remake.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if it ain't Wesley and Woody, I couldn't rock with it. It was actually no.
Speaker 1:If honestly, I wish they didn't call it white man can't jump, yeah. But if I watched it, you know I'd be like yeah, this is just white man can't jump. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:Like I can't like you know like I'm going to have that whole. You know I'm going to compare it Even if you didn't call. If you didn't call it that I'd be like, okay, this is a decent movie, but it's just white man can't jump, like you know, and sometimes you run into that. Like I said, if they call this movie old guys instead of Beverly Hills cop probably wouldn't get a lot of people liking it more than more than not people liking it more than more than not, but I mean I think just the name alone, um, is going to get eyes on it.
Speaker 3:They also did a great job, netflix, by putting older films of eddie murphy so people can kind of get reacquainted, and even how people get introduced to that eddie murphy, because that's essentially. He reinvented himself so many times, like he went from the brash, fast talking one to smooth guy and then he went to more like older characters and different characters and then now this is with you people and, yeah, you people. Now this is, you know, with you people and yeah, you people, yeah, you people. And uh, coming to america, um, this movie like now you see the more like granddad eddie murphy, but still smooth, like he's not like I he's not old bill cosbyby or an old Richard where they visibly look.
Speaker 3:He's a good 63. He's believable. He can get himself in decent shape to do a stunt if he needed to, but obviously he doesn't need to.
Speaker 1:Right, I just don't want him to be the fast-talking guy, because at 63,. I don't think you're getting over on people and trying to be like is this Victor?
Speaker 3:in his office.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:If he does that, I'm going to laugh and I'm not even going to be mad. If they find a way for him to do that, I would die laughing. I would be like yo, this is it. Is this the?
Speaker 1:guy that wrecked the buffet table. Imagine that would be hilarious table Imagine.
Speaker 2:That would be hilarious.
Speaker 3:I don't mind. I wouldn't even mind for them to do stuff that happened before, even if they bring back the other two cops that he threw the banana in the tailpipe with.
Speaker 2:Oh, I would love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this stuff like little throwbacks. Like I said, you don't gotta OD, just stay the course, Rely on the nostalgia. You have a good plot, nothing too crazy. Don't have Kenya Burris Right, did he write it?
Speaker 1:No, he didn't, he did, I don't know I don't know if he.
Speaker 3:I don't know if he did. I just like. He just makes things too colorful, like they got. I know he loves blackness.
Speaker 1:He did not write it, so that's a good sign yeah yeah, yeah, that's all I care about.
Speaker 3:Like, is this day true the thing? I wish it was Jerry Brock, I'm adding things I mean he produced the original one but, I, don't think that he's producing this one.
Speaker 1:I don't have a production credit for him on this.
Speaker 3:Well, it's probably good, because in the movie it won't be two hours and 30 minutes, so that'll be good.
Speaker 1:Jerry, you gotta put everything in the movie. It will be a crocodile chewing him up, you know.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:Beijing jokes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh that Jerry. He just makes Transformer movies the last two days man.
Speaker 1:No cameos of Michael Bay, yeah.
Speaker 2:I got you.
