Each week on Cathode Ray Mission, video store nerds Randy & Will plumb the depths of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and all the other streaming services to find the best and worst of big-budget cinema blockbusters, direct-to-video cult favorites, and everything in between.
This week we're joined by Bay Area actor & comedian Tirumari Jothi who helps us watch Tom Holland's 1987 police comedy(?) Fatal Beauty starring Whoopie Goldberg and Sam Elliott. Whoopie plays Rita Rizzoli, a narc who uncovers a batch of miscut cocaine and uses it as an excused to abuse her position as a police officer. Along the way she meets Sam Elliott's Mike Marshak who is a private security guard tasked with watching over Rizzoli but soon falls in love with her.
We'll talk about the fallout of Beverly Hills Cop, Whoopie Goldberg's unlikely career, and how an excellent cast can save an otherwise awful movie.
Fatal Beauty is available on Amazon Prime.
