RENE RUSSO MONTH is back for another film, as we get a little bit Eddie Murphy up in here by looking at the 2002 movie Showtime! Is this movie really that bad? Why do we feel Rene is wasted in this film? Does Eddie Murphy seemingly get a bad wrap for his movies like no other actor? Is Robert De Niro good in comedy roles or should he stick to the more serious ones? Why could this movie have been great with a few tweaks? Does a laugh track make things better? Why does Winnipeg like Slurpees so much? What character do we feel we’re meant to care about in this movie but have no clue who they are? And is this a better movie than Freejack? It’s all here and more to make your Rene Russo love even bigger, so get to listening! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
