Ep. 58 - Tyler Perry (feat. Cori Wallace)

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor.

In this episode, we explore the career of Tyler Perry. Best known for his many roles as Madea, Tanner Bolt in Gone Girl (2014), and his many writing, producing, and directing credits, Tyler Perry is by far the most influential performer we've covered on the podcast. Joined once again by Cori Wallace (stepping in for Geoff Reid at the last minute), we discuss Perry's extremely challenging upbringing, his philanthropic work lifting communities out of generational poverty, our take on the Madea universe, whether we prefer his acting abilities in projects directed by others, and why we might threaten Chris Rock with a class-action lawsuit. Where does Perry rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
