About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities and emotional depth of Michael Mann's film MIAMI VICE.
Help the Trylon afford a 4K projector! https://trylon.org/4K A funny thing happens the first time you see Michael Mann’s MIAMI VICE . The funny thing is that you don’t really like it very much, and it’s kind of confusing and… just kind of off. You know how I know that? Because people who absolutely LOVE it will tell you this. MIAMI VICE is more than a filmmaker looking back at his old work. It’s an aging archetype cast against an updated version of the environment in which it was born. Michael Mann’s neon skylines, broad ocean vistas, and dead-inside detectives hide an intense emotionality — one the movie deftly and frustratingly hides from the viewer. In another Aaron-less episode, the rest of the boys blow MIAMI VICE ’s cover, going beyond the wafer-thin personas to identify the real, dimensional people underneath.
