Whoopbruary is here! We're dedicating a whole month to the incomparable Whoopi Goldberg, spotlighting a trio of films she made after her powerhouse performance in The Color Purple—plus one extra for good measure. Kicking things off is Jumpin’ Jack Flash (1986), the high-energy spy comedy directed by Penny Marshall. Whoopi stars as Terry Doolittle, a quick-witted computer technician who unwittingly stumbles into international espionage when she makes contact with a British spy. With a script originally penned by David H. Franzoni, Whoopi's signature charm is on full display.
Ian Brownell joins this month's co-host, Razzie-nominated writer Kevin Lehane, for a fun discussion of where and how this fits into Whoopi's filmography.
