Here is our unedited, full-length reaction to this holiday season's first poll winner, Trading Places! We would love it if you watched along with us, and definitely be sure to let us know your thoughts about the film if you do. 

ALSO, one of your fellow DVF Patreon members, Eileen, had a great question about the post movie/episode commentary that is included in the final YouTube reactions, but not in the full-length Patreon reactions. Up until now, I've always just uploaded the full reaction before I edit any accompanying commentary. Going forward, however, I'm going to start including that in the full reactions as well. The intro will still be the Patreon special intro, but instead of the reaction just ending at the conclusion of the movie, you'll now see the commentary that will be on YouTube later. I'm also going to include the name tickers here to give YOU credit and visibility as well :) (Note: If you are a new Patron and don't see your name, it's likely that the video was uploaded prior to your membership. Let me know, though, if you think there is a problem)  

I've provided the unblurred version up top via Streamable (just click the photo thumbnail), and the link for the sync up YouTube version can be found here: https://youtu.be/pN1V0uK7PSA. For those watching the YouTube version, remember that you'll need your own copy of the movie.

Thanks as always for your incredible support, and I hope you have a great rest of the day/night!

Of course, the stock market floor doesn't really look like that anymore. It's all computerized and much more chill. And the underdogs actually 'win' by insider trading....

If you rewatch Coming to America, you'll see the Duke brothers are the two homeless men that Prince Akeem gives money to near the end of the movie. Both movies are directed by John Landis. Also, there is a Hitchcock-like easter egg hidden in Landis' movies (and the music videos for Thriller and Black or White) where the line "See you next Wednesday" is either seen (usually on a movie theater marquee or poster) or spoken. You mentioned seeing it in Ophelia's apartment. In Coming to America, it's in the subway station when Akeem goes after Lisa, and the movie poster says it stars Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Fun Muppets facts: The two old guys in the Muppets that the Dukes reminded you of are named Statler and Waldorf. The original voice of Statler (also Beaker, Scooter, and Janice) was Richard Hunt, who unfortunately died of AIDS in the early 90s. He played Wilson in Trading Places. He's the employee the Dukes are pushing to sell their shares at the end of the movie. As you mentioned, Frank Oz was also in it. He played a cop. Whenever I see a Frank Oz cameo in a movie (he's in at least 4 John Landis movies I can think of), I close my eyes and try to imagine Yoda, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, or Bert is the character saying the lines. Think of Yoda saying, "That's PCP! Phencyclidine. Angel dust!" It's fun. The last little thing I wanted to mention was that it's probably not a coincidence that moments in Trading Places reminded you of Airplane!. John Landis directed The Kentucky Fried Movie in 1977, which was written by Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers. They wrote and directed Airplane!. The Kentucky Fried Movie was the breakthrough film for all 4 of them. Airplane! had already been written when they were working on it, and Landis is the one who pushed them to start making it. It was shot while Landis was probably in preproduction for The Blues Brothers.

Omg you're right!! About the brothers I mean. I wouldn't have remembered it on my own, but now that you mention it, that was them! And I had no idea about the movie poster. I don't remember that at all from Coming to America, but now I have to go rewatch so I can see it :)

Ok you are seriously blowing my trivia mind right now. You KNOW how much I love little facts and behind-the-scenes info, so this is great! I have to say that I was really shocked when you said just now who Frank Oz was in the movie! I guess I am used to seeing him in his older appearance, so I didn't even recognize him! So now I have to go back and rewatch his scenes too so that I can do the Yoda voice trick you mentioned, "PCP, it is. Angel dust leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
