This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four offbeat cop films that have stuck with me over the years. These films can be funny, gritty, offbeat, and sometimes kind of chaotic in the best way possible. So what movies am I recommending?Running Scared (1986) – Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines as two wisecracking Chicago detectives. This one's got a great mix of comedy and action, and it leans into that mid-80s buddy cop energy without taking itself too seriously. Michael McDonald's “Sweet Freedom” is on the soundtrack, which feels like a time capsule in itself.Miami Blues (1990) – Alec Baldwin in a role that's kind of hard to pin down. He plays a violent conman who ends up impersonating a cop. It's based on a Charles Willeford novel and keeps that oddball tone where you're not always sure if you're supposed to laugh or be disturbed. Fred Ward is great in it too, playing the worn-out detective trying to catch him.Freebie and the Bean (1974) – This one's messier than most cop movies, but it's intentional. Directed by Richard Rush, who also did The Stunt Man, it's full of reckless driving, dark humor, and strange tonal shifts. Alan Arkin and James Caan play the leads, and they're either chasing criminals or arguing with each other. It kind of laid the groundwork for a lot of buddy cop films that came later.Stakeout (1987) – Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as partners on a surveillance detail that doesn't stay professional for very long. There's a good balance of suspense and comedy, and Madeleine Stowe holds her own in her first major role. It was directed by John Badham, who also did WarGames and Short Circuit, so the pacing is solid.If you're in the mood for movies where different type of cops break rules, hunt odd suspects or drive their car on the track of an elevated train, I think you will find something here you will like.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Chris had this as an ex-VHS rental back in the day and has chosen the neo-noir black comedy crime drama, Miami Blues (1990). Miami Blues was an adaptation of Charles Willeford's novel, directed by George Armitage and produced by Jonathan Demme. The film starred Alec Baldwin as the charming yet psychopathic criminal Frederick J. Frenger Jr., Jennifer Jason Leigh as his naive love interest Susie Waggoner, and Fred Ward as the weary, veteran detective Hoke Moseley. The casting process was crucial, with Baldwin bringing a charismatic and unpredictable energy to his role, while Leigh's performance added depth and vulnerability to her character. Ward, also serving as the film's co-producer, provided a grounded and gritty counterbalance to Baldwin's manic character. Filming took place in various locations around Miami, utilizing the city's vibrant and diverse backdrop to enhance the film's atmosphere. The production aimed to capture the seedy underbelly and the contrasting sunny exterior of Miami, which served as a character in its own right. The blend of dark humor, crime drama, and offbeat romance required careful direction to maintain the film's tone. Armitage and Demme's collaboration ensured that the film stayed true to Willeford's unique style while making it accessible to a broader audience. Despite its modest box office performance, "Miami Blues" received praise for its performances, particularly Baldwin's, and has since gained a cult following for its quirky, noir-infused take on crime and romance.

Frenger Jr., a recently released convict, arrives in Miami and quickly resumes his life of crime. After accidentally killing a Hare Krishna at the airport, Frenger steals, robs, and impersonates a police officer, causing chaos throughout the city. He forms a romantic relationship with Susie Waggoner while being pursued by the persistent and grizzled detective Hoke Moseley. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support
00:00 - 29:12 - Miami Blues 29:12 - 1:03:26 - Malcolm in the Middle This week's pod is on Miami Blues — clearly the work of a filmmaker who didn't get to direct anything in the 80s and is making up for lost time in 1990. The pastel sheen of the film feels like immediate nostalgia for a TV show that had just left the air, but the plotting feels more like a pulp novel than either visual medium. Baldwin and Ward play up the black comedy and cynicism of the material, while Jennifer Jason Leigh's empathetic heroine feels more like the work of producer Jonathan Demme. on Malcolm in the Middle, we talk about caffeine and eating money before we get into the movies. Malcolm's Multiplex Minute returns with a quick report on The Beekeeper, JT checks out Lang's Spies, and Eddie talks about Hell Drivers before addressing the truck drivers of the audience. donate to the patreon for an extra episode every week -- https://www.patreon.com/Extended_Clip and email the show. you write it, we read it -- extendedclippodcast@gmail.com
In this episode we update the latest on the Julio Urías situation. We recap the last two series against the Braves and Marlins? Are the Braves the better team? Were the Dodgers distracted in Miami? Will Clayton Kershaw make it through the end of season and how is the starting rotation going to lineup in the playoffs. All this plus much more.
New York-based musician and America's Sweetheart Nick Miller joins to discuss the underseen 150-minute Extended Cut of Tom Hanks's directorial debut, 'That Thing You Do!'. It's a meandering, expansive version of the film that takes the original cut's effervescent (if slight) shot of pop nostalgia and, at its best, aims for comparisons to great surveyors of cinematic Americana like Robert Altman & Jonathan Demme (who serves as producer on this film).We discuss the two versions of the film, their differences, and how the Extended Cut showcases even further Tom Hanks's singular knowledge of the era and its musical landscape. Then, we talk about the eponymous tune, an infectious earworm written by the late Adam Schlesinger which took on a life of its own as a charting hit single and was nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar in 1997. We also discuss the film as part and parcel with Tom Hanks's decade-long fixation with postwar America and the Greatest Generation's sense of national purpose, how the movie gets right many of the intricacies of songwriting and band dynamics, and make a plea to the 300+ artists (including Squeeze and They Might Be Giants) who submitted versions of "That Thing You Do!" to finally release their recordings.

The boys join Alec Baldwin in a life of crime in 90's Miami. Between gaslighting a girlfriend, killing people by breaking their fingers, and losing our false teeth, we get distracted by pre-chewing food, the humility that comes with bib-wearing, and desserts that make your pee stink, but mostly we're surprised by just how great this movie is.

When we sat down to record episode 207, we just wanted to talk about Fred Ward and how much we love him in everything! Several days after recording, the world learned that he had passed away, and we were left with an episode where we talk at length about him, not knowing what was to come. So, please think of this episode as a memoriam for a great actor who was great in every film he was in, with a wonderful smile and a tendency to outshine anyone he was acting beside. What a legend, and what an incredible body of solid work!We start the show off by talking about the 1982 movie "Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann" from director William Dear. Featuring some fairly dark moments for a PG-rated film, it's a fun little diversion with a strong supporting cast including Peter Coyote as the villain. We follow that up with a masterpiece from 1990 called "Miami Blues" from George Armitage. Costarring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alec Baldwin, it is a very unique blend of comedy, drama, police procedural and character study. This one should NOT be missed! We then proceed to list the various things we've been watching for fun. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
A favorite among my circle of crime writer friends, this week I was pleased to welcome Dennis Tafoya to the podcast.

Das Sommerloch 1990 neigt sich im August dem Ende zu wie der Kalte Krieg. JAGD AUF ROTER OKTOBER ist der unsinkbare Klassiker des Monats aber auch daneben gibt es viel Interessantes. Mit GREMLINS 2 kehren die kleinen Monster zurück, in DELTA FORCE 2 ist es Chuck Norris, Alec Baldwin erlebt nach dem Treffen mit Sean Connery den MIAMI BLUES und wenn alle Stränge reißen kommt die AMBULANCE zu Eric Roberts und Stan Lee.

Hey! Listen to me halfass tell some stories, I also explain my absence!
Four years before Pulp Fiction set off a trend of quirky, violent crime films in the '90s, writer/director George Armitage adapted the first of Charles Willeford's Hoke Moseley novels with this violent, titularly Miami-based gem starring a gorgeous and unhinged Alec Baldwin. On this episode former guests Kyle Smith and Tyler Savage discuss:- this 1990 Jonathan Demme-produced film;- its exuberant personality;- the long-lasting influence of Willeford (Tarantino initially said he was aiming for the author with Pulp Fiction);- and Armitage's career from Roger Corman, Gross Point Blank, and the chaotically studio-edited The Big Bounce.Also:- Fred Ward's late-'80s/early-'90s streak;- alternate castings over the years for Hoke Moseley;- whether Jennifer Jason Leigh is playing an under- or overage sex worker;- and the rise and fall of that '90s crime film trend.Kyle Smith is writer/director of the films Blue Highway and Turkey Bowl, which debuted at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival. Currently in development on his third feature, you can find Kyle and his film thoughts on Letterboxd.After playing the festival circuit in a pandemic-ravaged festival season, Tyler Savage's second directed-feature, Stalker, which he also co-wrote, will be released Vertical Entertainment in early 2021. Savage also wrote/directed Inheritance, along with associate producer credits on Song to Song, Knight of Cups, and Voyage of Time.Miami Blues is available on Blu-ray from Shout! Factory (though it's sold out on their website) and streaming on Amazon Prime.

Kevin Bacon has a fever dream in the middle of the desert and thinks giant sand turds are out to get him, meanwhile, Fred Ward desperately tries to find his way out of the town of Perfection to get onto the set of Miami Blues on time.
The fourth month of 1990 took a dip in quality ahead of the summer, but there were two films worthy enough to highlight:Johnny Depp starred as the title character in John Waters' biggest hit, Cry-Baby, a musical parody of '50s swinging sing-alongs. Alec Baldwin squares off with Fred Ward in a bonkers game of cat and mouse in Miami Blues.
In this episode, we take a look at a double-bill of classic Florida pulp fiction: John D. MacDonald's Darker Than Amber (the seventh novel in his Travis McGee series) and Charles Willeford's Miami Blues (the first novel in his Hoke Moseley series). We're joined by director and "Mr. Miami" Bill Teck to discuss the novels, the sense his Cuban heritage gives him of the the state's history, the changes in crime between the 1967 publication of Amber and Blues in 1984 as well as the nuances of Floridalia ranging from Miami Dade Community College to Granny Feelgood's to depressing top-sider bars in Fort Lauderdale.
