This is a bonus episode. Last week, we spoke about a show called BET's "Coming To The Stage". It was the start of my career and my guests (Steve Turner & John Rickenbacker Jr). John & Myself were part of a group called "DV Entertainment". It didn't feel right for us to have a "Coming To The Stage" episode and not invite the 3rd Member of "DV Entertainment". So...

This episode will provide what crittics thought in real time & provide context on the reception of movie...

As I go through the archives of Eddie Murphy interviews, I came across a quote that read... "They were trying to make me the Female Eddie Murphy" (Whoopi Goldberg). I thought that was interesting because of what the beginning of her movie career looked like. I ...

Last week.. We discussed Season 6 of Saturday Night Live which was Eddie Murphy's debut on national television. It was a rocky season. SNL hired an all new cast that the crittics hated. This season resulted in the firing of the whole cast except Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. I had mentioned that I would love to know more about that season. Luck would have it that one of the listeners of the podcast knew a writer ...
