Podcast appearances and mentions of dennis tafoya

On this episode of Bingeworthy, we're heading to the grimy, drug-running underworld of “Dope Thief,” a gritty Apple TV+ miniseries based on Dennis Tafoya's novel, which airs it's finale on Friday, April 25th. The show follows Ray and Manny, two longtime friends and low-level criminals from Philadelphia who impersonate DEA agents to knock over drug stash houses. But when one job unexpectedly exposes a hidden narcotics pipeline along the Eastern Seaboard, their small-time hustle spirals into a life-or-death game of survival and consequence.Brian Tyree Henry stars as Ray, a recovering addict struggling to escape his past while trying to stay one step ahead of increasingly dangerous enemies. Wagner Moura plays Manny, a charming but unpredictable wildcard whose deep bond with Ray is tested by every bad decision they make. The series, written and created by Peter Craig (“The Town,” “The Batman”), also stars Marin Ireland, Nesta Cooper, and Ving Rhames, with executive producer Ridley Scott directing the first episode.

Dope Thief is a new Apple TV+ crime thriller/dark buddy comedy starring Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura as two Philly hustlers posing as DEA agents who rip off small-time dealers in their community. Adapted from Dennis Tafoya's novel and produced/directed by Ridley Scott and Peter Craig (The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick), this series presents a bleak—though not hopeless—atmosphere. Tune in as we break down Episodes 1 and 2 (“Jolly Ranchers” and “Bat Out of Hell”), where we discuss the most interesting elements of the show, both on-screen and behind the camera.
