Admittedly, in this week's episode, there are more rants than there are raves. But what can you do when you're talking to scholars of Black history and culture from different disciplines and the sequel to Coming To America? The Sister Scholars are back and we taking on Coming 2 America. Though the consensus is that we are entirely and collectively not here for it — not even for the ways it can help us think about Eddie Murphy as an auteur — we talk about, among other things, the possibilities of diasporic solidarity, what it means to be critical of a popular cultural product that others enjoy, and why Gladys Knight really shouldn’t participate in this kind of foolery.
