Vice and Easy

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs discover the world of powerboat racing complete with ridiculous 80s decor, a live band in sequins and getting too close to a powerful dealer's girlfriend, which actually might be cuckholding...? A very fun and epically styled episode that encompasses everything about an era I love even though I wasn't even alive for it! Live bands, sequins, glass blocks, power boats, this episode has it all!

This week on Miami Vice: Despite the uneasy tone of this episode (Trigger Warning: domestic violence and sexual assault), we celebrate Bruce Willis in his first credited TV role as Tony Amato, an arms dealer who Crockett and Tubbs reluctancly pair up with the Feds in an attempt to stop him from selling missiles. Other guest star: Katherine Borowitz a.k.a. Mrs. Turturro (Irv!). For the first time in this episode of this podcast (7 episodes lol) the best dressed is NOT a main cast member! Who could it be?!

This week on Miami Vice: Uh oh, an assassin is going through his hit list, and Sonny is on it! Are Sonny and Caroline back together (should have listened to your dad, Gina)? Does that girl in the club have the same dress as Marina? Can you imagine how long that fax (see thumbnail) took to receive? Remember fax machines? And more importantly, will they find Calderone, on what I think was the hottest day of the year in 1984, no less!
