18: "Boomerang" & "Second Act"

In our first episode back from a nine week descent into erotic madness, we're switching gears and looking back at two workplace romantic comedies featuring two superstars. First up is the 1992 classic "Boomerang," starring Eddie Murphy as a successful womanizer who meets his match in Robin Givens, followed by the 2018 "Working Girl" homage "Second Act," starring Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini and Vanessa Hudgens. Does "Boomerang" still have that magic that's allowed it to endure for almost 30 years? Is "Second Act" an underrated holiday gem? Find out RIGHT NOW.

"Boomerang" is streaming on STARZ. "Second Act" is streaming on Showtime. Both are available to rent on iTunes and all the other usual suspects.
