DTVC Extra 39, The Beverly Hills Cop Franchise, "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Beverly Hills Cop II"

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Beverly Hills Cop franchise with "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Beverly Hills Cop II." For the first one, I look at how the film started as a Stallone vehicle, then moved to Eddie Murphy, and why it all works so well and is one of my favorite actioners ever. Then with the second one, I look at why it worked too, and how if the film was made today, they'd tack on another 45 minutes to it. I also talk about an experience I had on the Flix bus from Boston to NYC.
