Eddie Murphy is fuckin’ up motherfuckers left and right in the lead trailer for Netflix’s Dolemite Is My Name, a raucous, feel-good look at foul-mouthed comedian, singer, and blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, the writers behind acclaimed biopics Man On The Moon, The People Vs. Larry Flynt, and Ed Wood, handled the script, which hopefully means we’ll be getting something more nuanced than the paint-by-numbers biopics that sully the genre.
