This week we’re rewinding to The Distinguished Gentleman (1992) for one of our 10th anniversary rewatch episodes, because what better way to celebrate a decade of podcasting than with Eddie Murphy running for Congress on a technicality? He plays Thomas Jefferson Johnson, a small-time con man who discovers the biggest scam of all might just be Washington, D.C. Armed with charm, hustle, and a dead Congressman’s name, he cons his way into power—only to find out that in politics, the game is rigged and the stakes are sky-high. It’s sharp satire, slick grifts, and Eddie at his smooth-talking best.
