Miami Vice, "The Lost Madonna"
New episode out now! We enter the world of the 1980s with the season five episode of Miami Vice, “The Lost Madonna”. New to us all, we marveled at the wild fashions, the synth score, the feathered hair, and of course—the drugs. We really get into the Florida-ness of it all with the production design and color choices. And we talk extensively about Michael Chiklis’ ponytail. Katy critiques art packing techniques, Carrie thinks Don Johnson is very symmetrical, Maddy has started to see older people commercials tailored for her, and Mack tells a eulogy story. We also spoil St. Elsewhere, share college professor anecdotes, get excited about Indiana Jones, learn about product placement, and wonder why all Italian mafia members have a New York accent. We do introduce a new point of order in this episode and Katy is (justifiably) chastened for dominating research. And if you stick around after the end music, you’ll get a special treat! (A short interview with our parents re: Miami Vice that has terrible audio and random microwave beeping). Enjoy! As Maddy says, “Birds, boats, and boobs—what more could you ask for?” TW: animal cruelty, drugs, audio surge warning at 06:58 for microphone issue Show Notes/Links: Miami Vice Wiki Clip 1 - The famous Chiklis ponytail in action Clip 2 - The art party Clip 3 - The house, heroin, and seatbelts Miami Vice references on Fresh Prince/Friends/Sopranos - 0:37 is the Friends clip Katy talked about FIRST TIME HEARING Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight REACTION from TwinsthenewTrend YouTube “Want to Win the War on Drugs?
