This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are off to Cartagena with the help of Jimmy (Glenn Frey) to help pinpoint an agency leak that's resulting in the kidnapping and and deaths of smugglers and their families.

We are testing out some more categories! The Fashion segment now has a Wild Card! I wax a little too poetically about CanCon (sorry and I got the categories wrong haha), talk about what came first, Smuggler's Blues the song or the episode, the Miami Vice movie yay or nay (I'm in the nay camp, but I'll try to watch it again this weekend), do undercover cops do drugs to not blow their cover? and Crockett and Tubbs are working with the dad from Step Brothers!

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs try to set two young men set after catching them about to smuggle drug-filled statues in from Colombia. The first episode I ever saw features a young Evan Handler (that's Harry Goldenblatt to a different generation), boxing, arthouse cinema fashion and A+ acting from Don Johnson. I reminisce on how relaxed flying used to be and point out another GTA: Vice City trivia fact.

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs go after a wealthy and dirty businessman through his drug addicted son and worry they're doing more harm than good in the process. Crockett goes undercover at the WASPiest Polo Match you can imagine, Gina and Trudy score smack from a baby-faced Giancarlo Esposito (!!!) as Luther and a 28-year old hunk playing a college kid might be hooking up with his father's girlfriend? This episode also touches on super fun happy topics like addiction, generational trauma and a scandalous unsolved murder in Toronto. However, all depressing stuff aside, next week we begin a run of some of the best Miami Vice episodes like Smuggler's Blues and Rites of Passage!

Gina is forced into an awful situation when the kingpin in question figures her for a snitch. On the bright side, lots of elaborate outfits, high-definition TV of 1984 and an appearance by Noogie. Elvis' Legal Minute explains why you can't smoke in prison anymore and we see what contempt of court is after talking about it last week.TW: sexual assault.
