"Dolemite Is My Name" (2019)

Eddie Murphy stars in this funny, funky period piece as Rudy Ray Moore -  who was a washed up stand-up comic in the early '70s until he risked everything to turn "Dolemite," the heroic, ass kickin' kung-fu master and super pimp from his comedy routines, into a low budget "blaxploitation" film.
Murphy's performance is great and he's backed by a fantastic supporting cast that includes Keegan Michael Key, Craig Robinson, Titus Burgess, and even Wesley Snipes (where have you seen him lately?).
Thanks to this movie and his killer performance hosting "SNL" a couple of weeks ago, it looks like Eddie's comeback is in full swing.

That was a great flick, made me want to find some of the movies it was based on.

I'm currently watching the Netflix series of The Witcher. Pretty good so far, but haven't gotten that far yet.

To prep for Eddie's movie, I watched the original "Dolemite" on Amazon Prime (I think it was Amazon, anyway) a couple of weeks ago. It's terrible, but it's an entertaining sort of terrible. Haha.

I just noticed a few nights ago that some of Rudy Ray Moore's other movies (incl. the "Dolemite" sequel, "The Human Tornado") are on the Tubi-TV free streaming app, but I haven't checked any of them out yet.

Too many streaming apps and things, I can't keep up with them. Not very heard of tubi until now, but I might check it out justified that lol

Tubi is prob the streaming service I use most. It's free (you do hafta put up with a couple of ad breaks during your movie) and they have a surprisingly deep catalog of stuff. I've found tons of amazing 60s/70s/80s horror/exploitation movies on there

Nice, I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info Freddy.

Holy shit this Dolemite movie (the original) is terrible lol I love it! Tubi is awesome Freddy, I can even live with the commercials. Thanks again!
