Boomerang (1992)

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.

In this episode, we’re talking about Reginald Hudlin’s 1992 movie Boomerang. With a story by Eddie Murphy and a screenplay by Saturday Night Live writers Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield, this was megastar Murphy’s first time taking the lead in an adult romantic comedy and became the 18th most successful film at the US box office that year. Sitting down to some asparagus with us at Lady Eloise’s impossibly long table tonight are Jacqueline, played by Robin Givens; Angela, played by Halle Berry and, of course, Marcus portrayed by Eddie Murphy. Do these relationships feel like the perfect pedicure we’ve been waiting all our lives for, or do they signal the end of the road?
