There have been a number of legacy comedy sequels over the last few years, with the likes of Anchorman 2, Zoolander 2 and Jay & Silent Bob Reboot all achieving varying degrees of success and critical regard. Now, 33 years after the beloved Coming To America, Eddie Murphy is back with Coming 2 America, and in this spoiler special Chris Hewitt has a chat with the film's director, Craig Brewer, about death scenes and getting the balance right between old hits and new material. They also talk about a potential new project which might just bring two classic Eddie Murphy movies together in an unexpected way.
Then, Chris is joined by Coming To America superfans Amon Warmann and Helen O'Hara for an in-depth discussion of the film, its hits and its misses. Be warned: there's quite a bit of singing in this episode.
Enjoy.
