In Episode 70 below, we talk about Brooklyn, Love the Coopers, Cobra, and Beverly Hills Cop. Dave has a gift for me and Kris that’s really more of a present for himself, although it does offer a great set up for this episode of 80s Piece…er…Spoilerpiece Theatre. First, I share my thoughts about the dog shit holiday film Love the Coopers, which features Steve Martin as a canine narrator. Next up is Dave, to talk about BROOKLYN, a movie that’s beautifully acted and looks wonderful, but has several Irish names he can’t pronounce. However the episode’s main event is that all three of us have seen both Cobra and Beverly Hills Cop, two pictures that were made under very similar circumstances. In discussing COBRA Kris observes Marion Cobretti’s pornographic glee in dispatching bad guys, Dave sees how it rips off Dirty Harry, and I notice its odd product placement. We can all agree that Beverly Hills Cop knows exactly what kind of movie it is, has amazing improvisation, and features Eddie Murphy walking around, fuckin’ owning every place he goes.
