Being Eddie | Official Trailer | Netflix

[Kidd Dibiase]

There’s only one Eddie Murphy. At 17, he was already performing stand-up in New York clubs, and a year later joined Saturday Night Live straight out of high school. From Beverly Hills Cop to The Nutty Professor, Dr. Dolittle to Donkey, Murphy has done it all and done it better than anyone. For nearly 50 years, he’s ruled comedy, film, and fame itself without ever losing his center. Being Eddie, directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall (The Greatest Night in Pop, Mountain Queen), brings together icons like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Brian Grazer to celebrate the man who broke barriers, reinvented genres, and inspired generations. For the first time, Eddie opens his home and his heart, revealing the drive, genius, and soul behind one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Bout time. Glad he is still here. So many of his peers that are his age or even younger are gone. This man inspired every succeeding generation of comedians and created a genre (action comedy).

I don't care if this is a fluff piece of a doc, I'm all in for a celebration of Eddie

Him doing that Pryor impression with the puppet had me

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

I’d love to hear him talk about him running around in the 80s

 

[pete clemenza]

The thing about Eddie is that he is just so natural funny off the top. He doesnt have to try hard. He just does and says stuff that is hilarious effortlessly.

Halfway through it but it stirred so many memories of being a kid in the 80s and how larger than life Eddie, MJ, Prince, Tyson were. Peak Black excellence and creativity. Eddie is still effortlessly funny.

TIL John Landis is still alive. I thought he was a goner yrs ago

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

nah if he serious about the bill and richard puppets, i'm looking forward to that

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

IDK if this hits anyone else, but there's a sorrowful look that comes across the face of Black men of a particular age group when they talk about something you can tell is deeply hurting them. I've seen it twice with Eddie. The first instance was on Seinfeld's show, when he discussed how Cosby had spoken to him. The other is in this doc where he talks about Charlie. It's not that he doesn't know how to show his feelings, it's just that look when you can tell when a guy is fighting that feeling. I find it sad.

He could do an entire show like that . Just that bit in the documentary had me doing the silent laughter I was laughing so hard.
