Pop culture writer, James Down Williams, joins Ryan to talk about the 1992 Reginald Hudlin film, Boomerang and it's 3x Platinum soundtrack. The soundtrack boasted 6 singles including Toni Braxton's "Give U My Heart" and Boyz II Men's "End of the Road", which would top the Billboard Top 100 for 13 weeks, which was a record at the time. Equally impressive is the film's cast, which included Eddie Murphy, Hallie Berry, Martin Lawrence, David Allen Grier, Chris Rock, Tisha Campbell, Robin Givens, and Grace Jones (who is also on the soundtrack).
Also Discussed:
-Hudlin's post-Boomerang career
-Babyface's strangehold on the top of the Billboard Charts in the 90s
-How the film is responsible for one the most iconic sitcom couples
-Grace Jones' outrageous role in the film
-Creative Breakups
