Jehan PattersonJehan Patterson, a current USC School of Cinematic Arts student, and our CAU brother joined us this week to witness the original P-I-M-P and badass kung-fu fighting Rudy Ray Moore as Dolemite in this 1975 film. Who can say no to guns, women, stolen furs, and did I mention karate?!

Kinda Sorta CinephilesKinda Sorta... The Nutty Professor (1996)This week Eden & Courtney discover fatphobia in its highest form... Eddie Murphy's comedic timing. There may or may not be a small debate on "catching the Holy Ghost" from 7:30 - 10:09 if you feel so inclined to skip (but we don't suggest you do). Will you be shouting "Hercules" or "What the HELL" after our review of The Nutty Professor?

'Enry 'Iggins might have to catch these hands if they see him in the streets. Did the laughs, catchy songs, and a little medieval torture make this a worthwhile watch?
