S1E10: Movie Region 2v15

Roll up the sleeves of your suit jacket and leave some stubble on your face (or legs or wherever you are shaving) ‘cause Episode 10 of The 80s-est is taking its talents to South Beach for an all-Miami Vice show. The propulsive 15-seed theme song by Jan Hammer goes up against the moodiest work ever produced by someone who also had a top 40 hit with “groovy” in the title, 2-seed Phil Collins with “In the Air Tonight.”Finally, as promised in the podcast, here’s my first ever movie, Ellsworth Vice, well, the 1-minute title sequence that uses Jan Hammer’s 15-seed “Miami Vice Theme”:For those who have 12 minutes to waste on an unfinished, low-res VHS adventure from 36 years ago, here’s the whole thing. (WARNING: stretch your face to prepare for excessive cringing.) The full feature also uses 2-seed “In the Air Tonight.” This is a public episode.
