On this episode of Cine Papis, the crew dives into Blow, breaking down Blow and Johnny Depp’s portrayal of George Jung, one of the most infamous drug traffickers in U.S. history. The guys explore the rise and fall of Jung’s empire, his connection to the Medellín cartel, and how the film captures the allure and consequences of the cocaine boom in the 1970s and ‘80s. They also get into Depp’s performance, the film’s cultural impact, and whether Blow glamorizes the lifestyle or serves as a cautionary tale.
