Does It Hold Up: Coming to America

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are back with the second edition
of our "Does It Hold Up" series in which we explore classic
movies from the past and discuss whether or not they hold up
under a modern lens.  In this episode, we discuss Coming to
America - the original - not to be confused with the
sequel.  We take a trip down memory lane and discuss what we
loved about the hilarious Eddie Murphy film.  We also
examine what themes from the film still ring true today. 
Unfortunately, dating has not improved since the film premiered
in 1988.  We also revisit our discussion on the sequel in
the context of watching the original film.  Finally, we
render our ruling - does Coming to America still hold up? 
Listen and find out!
