’80s TV Adaptations Month Wraps Up with Michael Mann’s Miami Vice (2006)

This week we’re wrapping up ’80s TV Show Adaptation Month with a doozy: Michael Mann’s 2006 Miami Vice. It’s a bold swing that ended up being very divisive but is seeing a rise in popularity lately. With quite a lot of on-set drama—including shootings and hurricanes— and diva-like behavior, there’s a lot to talk about and we get into all of it.

’80s TV Adaptation Month Starts with 21 Jump Street

In this episode we kick off a month of ’80s TV show adaptations with one of the best: Lord and Miller’s 21 Jump Street from 2012. The film stays fairly true to the series but the tone is way lighter—something we think might be necessary to successfully bring one of these now-campy shows to the big screen. The R rating helps, too. We discuss all of that, along with a whole lot more.
