COMING TO AMERICA

StorySmack Episode #68

We give this 1988 comedy classic a royal washing, exploring the cast, the box office impact, the on-set clashes, and the crazy cameos. Eddie Murphy was at the prime of his young comedy career. This movie has more catchphrases than McDowell’s has fries.

As if that weren’t problematic enough, Wakhan Reed is about to deliver a report that will cast a veil of suspicion over one of the Leader’s key underlings. Meanwhile, the woman who saved Quentin’s life gave him a hypodermic gun loaded with a strange substance to use against Gredok.
