Lea Michele is a mom now, so that means it is time to get the mom bob. Her formerly long hair now only reaches her shoulders, just like Idina Menzel. Put those two in the same room, and I would not be able to tell them apart. Would you be able to do it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ABTeSZhvZk Good Girls is back on NBC tonight at 10p for season 4, and trouble keeps finding them. However, they always find a way out of it. Well, almost always…
Beth (Christina Hendricks) and her husband, Dean (Matthew Lillard), are preparing to open their hot tub store. There is still a lot that needs to be done before the city will give them the OK. There is only one problem, Rio (Manny Montana) needs his laundered money. He tells Beth if she doesn’t get him the money ASAP, he will turn over the gun that has her fingerprints on it. The one he used to kill her co-worker. Did I mention that they found her body? Therefore, Beth really needs to get him that money now or else.
Dean and Beth open the store, but they run into a problem. Can they get themselves out of it? Especially since they are being investigated by the team of feds led by Dave (Jonathan Silverman).
Talking about Weekend at Bernie’s, Andrew McCarthy is back as the hitman that Beth hired to kill Rio. He keeps finding ways to delay the murder because he is in love with Beth. Who isn’t?
Those are Beth’s problems; her literal partners in crime have their own issues. Ruby (Retta) and Stanley’s (Reno Wilson) son is having problems in school, and it is going to cost them a lot of money. Money that will cause her to need more from Beth. Annie (Mae Whitman) is also having problems with her son. However, they can’t be solved by money.
In the coming weeks, they will run into more problems that money can’t solve. How will they get out of it? They always find a way. However, their solutions always get them into more problems which is why we have season 4.
I can’t wait to see what happens next, especially after one of them is arrested. But I said too much…
Seriously, over the next few weeks, the show that empowers women is going to be hit with some really tough counterprogramming. It is going to need you to watch it live, so it can keep up the ratings. How hard is it to stay up on Sunday night? Now that we don’t have to drive to work on Mondays anymore.
Finally, I have one complaint about this season. How can you have McCarthy and Silverman on the same show and not have them share some screen time?
Before I watched Coming 2 America, which is out on Amazon Prime now, I watched Coming to America to compare the two. Also to remember what happened in the 1988 movie because I have not seen it in a long time. What was my biggest takeaway? Good things come to wait.
Had Eddie Murphy done the sequel immediately, it would not have been as good. This way, he was able to formulate a story that was fitting. Along with adding a lot of funny people to the sequel while also rehiring a lot of actors from the original.
Seriously, the best part is that so many people like John Amos, James Earl Jones, and Garcelle Beauvais came back for the second round. They are just a few of the many cast members who came back. I am beyond impressed with how many people did both movies. And I am not talking about all the dual roles that Murphy and Arsenio Hall played and played again. Saul has to be at least 100.
Now, let’s talk about the movie that takes place 30 years after the first one. Prince Akeem (Murphy) is still married to Lisa (Shari Headley), and they have three beautiful daughters (KiKi Layne, Bella Murphy, and Akiley Love).
King Jaffe Joffer (Jones) wants his Kingdom passed down to a grandson. When the King finds out that the Prince fathered a son in the Land of Queens, he sends Akeen to bring him back to Zamunda.
But wait, how did Akeem father a son? That will be explained and shown to us.
Back to the search for his son. Akeem and Semmi (Arsenio Hall) go back to Queens and meet up with some old friends who know his son. They tell him where he can find Lavelle Junson (Jermaine Fowler). How will it go when they meet him? Better than when they meet his mother (Leslie Jones) and uncle (Tracy Morgan).
Akeem tells them they have to go back to Zamunda with him so that Lavelle can prepare to be the future King. That is when the movie really starts to get funny!
It might seem like I am not telling you a lot, and I am not. I want you to enjoy the movie as I did. We waited almost 33 years for it, so we deserve to enjoy it without too many spoilers.
I promise you will love this movie just like you did the original. It is Eddie Murphy at his best. When he is at his best, our stomachs suffer. That is because we are laughing so hard with him.
We all need a good laugh these days, and Coming 2 America delivers tenfold. Make a date with Amazon Prime because you are going to want to watch this movie over and over again. Just like you watched Coming to America many, many times.
Can you believe it has been almost a year since we started living Groundhog’s Day every day? Well, it has been, and Jimmy Kimmel Live is going to celebrate it on March 11th.
To celebrate Coronaversary, he is bringing back Mayor Pete, who hosted the last show in the JKL studio before they went on a COVID-19 hiatus on March 11, 2020. Since then, the Mayor got promoted to the U.S. Transportation Secretary. At least one person doesn’t wake up to the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Joel McHale will also be a guest on the episode, and Adam Duritz will be performing.
I wonder if the other late night hosts will do it too. Maybe they should make a fundraiser?
