Based on the real-life story of Rudy Ray Moore, MY NAME IS DOLEMITE, stars Eddie Murphy and was premiered at the Toronoto Film Festival in September of 2019. The film centers on Filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore, best known for portraying the character of Dolemite in both his stand-up routine and a series of blaxploitation films, starting with the film "Dolemite" in 1975. The film was released on Netflix on October 25, 2019 and has received critical praise for Eddie Murphy's performance, including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor and Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical.
In this episode, Scott Bomar discusses his research into and how he paid homage to the blaxsploitation genre of the 1970s. Bomar details his inspiration from composers such as Quincy Jones and Lalo Schifrin and the performances of many instrumentalists who played on such famous films such as Shaft, Chuck Turner and Superfly. While revealing some of the musical connection to previous work he did for HUSTLE & FLOW, Scott Bomar shares how an encounter at the recording studio with another huge, musical influence, Isaac Hayes played out.
