Clay and Buck love to take you to the movies, maybe even share a little popcorn and Milk Duds.
They are making a new Beverly Hills cop movie and @BuckSexton & I are debating the best Eddie Murphy movie from the 1980’s — excluding his comedy specials — who ya got? https://t.co/zsqbfAOKWR

Beverly Hills Cop is a Sexton family favorite with Eddie Murphy in the title role of Axel Foley which he’s set to resume in a reboot.
That film is right up there with its fellow ‘80s classic Ghostbusters.
Incredibly, Buck’s wonderful and lovely fiancee Carrie had never seen an all-time classic, The Hunt for Red October, a situation he remedied swiftly. Its star, Alec Baldwin, has been having a rough time lately on a lot of fronts, and rightfully so.
But that’s a very good movie, based on a great book by Tom Clancy, whose research skills were so good that the Pentagon ended up sitting down with him and saying, “Hey, where you getting all this classified stuff?”
Rounding out today’s picks from that great decade of action films is Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Beverly Hills Cop II was good as well.
However, warning: Your childhood was ruined, basically, by Beverly Hills Cop III. The studio would have been better off burning all the footage like they did with the recent Batgirl movie.
There was also Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America, which was great.
And then recently, Netflix delivered the long hoped-for sequel.
They really knew how to make films back in the Reagan years, and those plots still hold up today. Look at the enormous success of Top Gun: Maverick.
It’s a reminder to people, along with the Cobra Kai show which continues The Karate Kid saga, that if you do a remake that tries to be faithful to the spirit and storyline at some level of the original, it can be a massive success.
Trading Places rounds out Buck’s top-three Eddie Murphy vehicles.
Clay ranked them in this order: Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, which caused a feud.
Also, there was the Eddie Murphy-Nick Nolte buddy film 48 Hours, which many of you are upset with both hosts for leaving out of the Top 3.
Meanwhile, Senator Marco Rubio, in his call to the show, said, “I actually think Eddie Murphy has not been given the credit he deserves for his role in the Shrek movies,” in the role of Donkey.
