Eddie Murphy

I liked the Haunted Mansion movie.

I love the Eddie Murphy one.

The Eddie Murphy one, yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was good.

Yep, yep.

And then Vampire in Brooklyn, like, I knew about, but, like, it's weird, because, like, I was a huge Eddie Murphy fan as a kid, but, like, I was a Beverly Hills cop Eddie Murphy fan.

I wasn't, you know, a golden child or vampire in Brooklyn fan.

Eddie Murphy.

And

Vampire in Brooklyn just sounds like such a generic it's exactly what it says on the tin title.

I had no idea.

That was, yeah,

That's two words, Extraordinary.

Speaking of lighter fare, 1995's Vampire in Brooklyn starring Eddie Murphy.

This is becoming a perennial rewatch for me.

Basically, Eddie Murphy is Dracula in New York.

And it's actually a good movie.

Like, you see Eddie Murphy with this long hair and just, like, the idea that Larry Murphy, Eddie Murphy is a vampire is kind of like, you know, you find out Nicolas Cage is a vampire in Vampire's Kiss.

This was apparently a passion project of Eddie Murphy, and he really believed in it, and for good reason.

Vanessa was looking up the trivia and was saying that basically Eddie Murphy wasn't interested in being very funny in this movie.

And all the simpletons, all the morons, all the scumbags in on the scam, let's vote for Jeff Johnson.

And Eddie Murphy goes to Washington.

It's almost a comedy.

Is there anything funnier than some morphidite? Some scumbag put forward by an Eskimo? An Eskimo! Also known as an Indian with a coat.

And they tell the federal government, just bail me out of the entitlements you owe me and then the grant money that nobody can trace.

And that's how you have Democrats that pretend to be state representatives, governors, congressmen, mayors.

All you are are a bunch of empty suits, a bunch of names like Eddie Murphy, a bunch of empty vessels.

You stand for nothing.

it's amazing

Eddie Murphy died of it didn't he No, he's

still alive.

No, not...

By the way, this is not new.

You've stole a bit from the movie Distinguished Gentleman starring Eddie Murphy.

If you guys don't remember that movie, and while it's not exactly the same, it's name recognition, but it shows you just the silliness of it all.

So Eddie Murphy plays this con man named Thomas Jefferson Johnson.

And he crossed his path at some time with this congressman named Jefferson Davis Jeff Johnson at a party.

Becomes intrigued after, oh, you know, he hears like, first of all, how wealthy the members of Congress are.

um and uh there's an interesting thing about this movie too where um Racists will often talk about when we talk about the insidiously shameful part of American history that is chattel slavery.

There's always some white person got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass to quote Eddie Murphy.

There's always somebody that has to talk about how like, well, the Irish in America, it's like, shut up, shut up.

And I feel like this movie, by having Irish vampires starting all of this crap, is a very interesting choice, considering the racial discussions that happen around how this country has treated people.

And it was, you get in there.

I'm like, the thing that jumps out to me, I'm reminded of that Eddie Murphy movie, The Distinguished Gentleman.

And that's how he won because his name was like one letter different than the guy who died and didn't bother to correct anybody and just kind of ran on that guy's thing.

I think it's, you know, it's dirty politics.
