Coming 2 America (Amazon)

 

Eddie Murphy is a weird conversation these days when he used to be the MAIN conversation in Hollywood, or one of them at least.  In the same tradition as other recent decade(s) later sequels, Coming 2 America does some things right and many things wrong.  But, the spirit of the original is kept in tact...without any of the thoughtful and cleverness that made the original so wonderful and well received.  Akeem is great, as always though!  Roger (2/10) - Grayson (5/10)

 

Raya and the Last Dragon (Disney+)

 

The latest Disney flick is here and her name is Raya and the Last Dragon.  As 96% of the time, Disney does not disappoint.  A new princess and a new region represented now also in the Disney family.  It's an emotional ride, pleasantly well paced with a fun and engaging story.  Though, sorry to say it doesn't master any of those, but does them well.  Tiny humans and big humans alike will enjoy this even for repeated viewings.  (7/10)

 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.
