Episode 45 - "Trading Places"

It's hard to fathom that studio execs were initially reluctant to cast Eddie Murphy in 1983's "Trading Places." It only became the fourth highest grossing film of the year and catapulted the actor to massive global stardom (and a lucrative five picture deal at Paramount). The movie also reignited Dan Aykroyd's career and opened many new doors for Jamie Lee Curtis. Channeling his inner Winthorpe, Rob Bohn returns to the pod and joins Dennis to celebrate a comedy classic deeply inspired by the screwball films of a bygone era. Pork bellies, which are used to make bacon, which you might find in a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich.
