Special Guest: Scott PhillipsReal badge. Real gun. Fake cop. That's Miami Blues in six words but there's so much more than that to this terrific adaptation of Charles Willeford's work by George Armitage. The film stars Fred Ward as Hoke Mosely, a cantankerous Miami detective who's trying to find Freddy Frenger Jr (Alec Baldwin), the killer of a hare krishna.
We're joined in the Projection Booth this week by author Scott Phillips (The Ice Harvest, The Adjustment, The Walkaway, etc) as our special guest co-host.
