Coming 2 America

Pack your bags and grab your passport - we're going to Zamunda!
In this week's episode we discuss Coming 2 America, which may
have more appropriately been named Coming to Zamunda.  We
kick off with our overall reactions.  We then break down our
thoughts about the things we liked, the things we didn't know how
to feel about, and the things we didn't like about the
film. 

Next, we discuss the new casting additions to the film.  We
loved Wesley Snipes chewing up scenes as General Izzi.  We
speculate about what the sequel would look like with Ryan Cooler
at the helm, which leads to a very passionate plea from Jocelyn
for fan casters to broaden their horizons when developing dream
casts for movies. 

We salute the film's MVPs - Leslie Jones was a standout and the
image of her wafting her "special scent" over a pumpkin spice
candle will remain with us forever.  It was no surprise the
the costumes were immaculate thanks to Ruth E. Carter.  With
the exception of a questionable wig on Jermaine Fowler early in
the film, we LOVED the work of hair department co-heads Carla
Farmer and Stacey Morris.

It wouldn't be us if we didn't get thirsty, so of course we
discuss our crushes from the Coming 2 America cast.  We
close out by discussing whether we would be up for more movies
featuring Zamunda's royal family.

Join us next time as we revisit Coming to America (the original)
and examine whether the film still holds up.  If you're an
