Anyone remember the movie “Trading Places”?

Akroyd - Murphy.
Comedic role reversal experiment dealing with switching lifestyles of a privileged white with an underprivileged black. It really was a funny movie. Was wandering if that would fall into the mix of “cancel culture” casualties? I do remember Akroyd was in blackface but it was part of a scheme. Anyway, the movie did deal with subtle overtones of the impact of race utilizing a role-reversal mechanism. Thoughts?

One of the best movies ever honestly, today's environment is 100% poison
As Seinfeld correctly pointed out comedy is dead

Ok. You got me. But it was sometime ago. Never know the age group I’m dealing with here.

Imagine doing the French Connection bar scene today. And that movie won best picture.

Get it on DVD while you can, just in case. I have it.

Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness.
Always go for the throat.
Buy low, sell high.
Fear? That’s the other guy’s problem.
Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unbridled carnage you are about to witness. The Super Bowl, the World Series? – they don’t know what pressure is. In this building, it’s either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners.
One minute you’re up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don’t go to college and they’ve repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?
