The Breakdown of '48 Hrs.', 'Coming 2 America' and 'The Dig'

Do you like Eddie Murphy? Then this is the episode of The Movie Breakdown you've been waiting to hear, as we review his first ever and his most recent picture. We go all the way back 1982 where Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte team-up in what is one of the first buddy-cop action comedies in the Walter Hill directed, 48 Hrs. Then we jump all the way to 2021 for the brand-new release and the sequel to a film from way back in the 1980s in Coming 2 America. We also review a non-Eddie Murphy movie in the Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes starring period drama, The Dig. 

From there we discuss how streaming services should handle older movies and shows that either have problematic stars or material that hasn't aged well. As always, we had a great time discussing movies and really hope you love listening to it.
