Ep 186: Trading Places

The Movie Defenders

Today we kick off the holiday season by heading back to 1983 to a film that helped launch two of the greatest comedy careers in Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy... Trading Places! This comedy combines excellent writing, social commentary, and some incredible performances in a comedy for the ages! Before we jump in the film we also break down our top 5 movie villain duos of all time. So grab your Santa suits, jump in your limo, and don't forget to secure those pork belly futures... it's time for Trading Places!
