This week we have Comedian Mike Celona (Amazon) coming by to promote his new comedy prank call album & talk about the movie “Nutty Professor 2”. We get nostalgic and talk about our love of The Nutty Professor. We question whether this was a disappointing sequel or a movie that was misjudged at the time. Mike also explains to me why Beverly Hills Cop 3 is on his Top 5 Eddie Murphy Movie list. (Recorded Before the release of Coming 2 America)
