In this packed episode, we also cover:• Movies: Say hello to our little friend! We revisit the 1983 cult classic Scarface. We discuss Al Pacino’s performance, the dried milk used as cocaine, the "chainsaw" scene that shocked audiences, and how the film overcame bad reviews to become a hip-hop icon.• TV: We take a somber look at the tragic "curse" surrounding the cast of Diff'rent Strokes. From Gary Coleman’s financial ruin to the heartbreaking struggles of Dana Plato, we explore the dark side of 80s child stardom.• Busted: This week’s dumbest criminals include a "mermaid" in Louisiana, an inmate trying to smuggle a feast into prison, and a Russian man who stole an armored tank just to get a bottle of wine.• Random Facts: Did you know a Samurai could theoretically fax Abraham Lincoln?
