Episode 56 - Boomerang

Kirby! Married couple, Autumn and Jerome Bennett join Nathan to talk about the very funny, but flawed Boomerang, which is number 26 on The 50 Best Rom-Coms list. Even though the plot is puzzling at times, the three agree that the the all-star cast is hilarious and that the film was revolutionary at the time for its portrayal of strong females and affluent black culture. Put on your favorite perfume and get a pedicure for this engaging discussion about the early ‘90s Eddie Murphy hit! 🌆 #50BestRomComs
