Almost Cult Classics #47 - Norbit (2007)
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025

We're finally back with the format that started it all! In this episode we dive into Norbit — Eddie Murphy's infamous 2007 comedy that managed to be both a box office hit and a long-running cultural punching bag. We talk about how it fits into Murphy's career, especially with the new Being Eddie documentary adding fresh context. And don't forget to check out our Patreon-only follow-up where we compare the original Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor with the Eddie Murphy remake: https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-gettin-144114931 Check out our YouTube channel for additional video episodes and more: https://www.youtube.com/@sidetrackspod You can also find us on X: Joe: https://twitter.com/joeramoni Ryan: https://twitter.com/ryanlancello And don't forget to check out our website and merch store: https://www.almostcultclassics.com
