Summary
This week, James and Jon welcome comedian and writer Ian Edwards (Untitled: The Comedy Special You Didn’t Know You Needed) to cover Being Eddie, directed by Angus Wall, starring Eddie Murphy, Dave Chapelle, and Jerry Seinfeld. Together, they discuss where Jerah is, how you even rate a documentary like Being Eddie, what it’s like seeing someone with such extreme talent come into their own, Eddie's peers' feelings about him, his house, their personal Eddie histories, and much, much more!
