S2 E4: Cocaine Drives the 80s
from 80s Show Podcast Hosted by Damian Raffele + Bill Lassiter
This episode is pure 80s - fast cars, pastel suits, and enough powder to shut down Studio 54. We kick things off with John DeLorean’s desperate attempt to fund his stainless steel dream car by allegedly jumping into the cocaine trade. Was it savvy, stupid, or a midlife crisis on gullwing doors? Then we dive into the coke-dusted chaos of 80s action movies, spotlighting Scarface and Lethal Weapon—two films that define the era’s cinematic obsession with excess, explosions, and unhinged behavior. Finally, we talk Miami Vice - the stylish, synth-soaked cop show that turned every drug bust into a music video and made stubble and sockless loafers a lifestyle. Neon, narcotics, and nonstop nostalgia. Buckle up.
