The people’s champ, Rudy Ray Moore :wow:

Watched it over two nights, so it didn’t feel like it dragged to me like others have mentioned

It was a curious approach that Eddie took to portray him, but it somehow worked and made it all the more endearing.

I really enjoyed this :ehh:

Wanted to watch some of his movies after i finished, but Netflix doesn’t have any available :stopitslime:
BET and TV One will probably cash in on it...and air the heavily edited versions, of course.

That shyt about Rudy Ray Moore sexuality shouldn’t be that surprising. He ain’t the 1st or last comedian/showman that was bisexual. Shouldn’t change your opinion on the legend either.
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of dudes back in the day at least did a gay act if they weren't full on gay

Glad to see Lady Reed getting some shine!!!! Da'Vine Joy Randolph did a terrific job. I sure wish Eddie could do a better Dolemite voice. Put Aries Spears' voice in Eddie's body and you would've had perfection. Wesley stole the show. (Who knew?) Very solid movie - a B+, easy. Not much about RRM himself, but it's a fascinating story about how a cult class got made on a boot and a shoe.

I always thought he might've been but wasn't sure. Sometimes his tone and mannerisms came off as "sassy"
