This week on End Credits, we take a ride. With the long weekend coming it’s a good time to get out on your bike whether it’s motorized or not, and for this episode of the show we’re going to head out with the gang in The Bikeriders. But the ride only ends there, we get things started in Beverly Hills with three movies about a Detroit Cop who can’t stay out of their business.
This Wednesday, June 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Run the Series: Beverly Hills Cop. In 1984, fresh off a stint “saving” Saturday Night Live, Eddie Murphy was cast in a project once intended to be a Sylvester Stallone vehicle. Directed by Martin Breast, Beverly Hills Cop was an instant success, and solidified Murphy’s star status spawning two sequels with a third coming out next week on Netflix. But first, we will look back and run the series on the original Beverly Hills Cop trilogy.
REVIEW: The Bikeriders (2024). If there’s a movie genre aside from the western that activates a real sense of nostalgic Americana it’s the motorcycle movie. In The Bikeriders, filmmaker Jeff Nichols captures that feeling, looking at a decade in the life of a motorcycle gang in the Midwest as they evolve from a social club into something a little more… sinister. Austin Butler, no stranger to a sense of Americana after his Oscar nom for Elvis, leads a stacked cast as they ride through various trials and tribulations, but is it an easy ride or a hard one?
