New Podcast! The Sundae Presents Bonus Episode 4 – “Miami Vice”

The premise of the podcast involves one host inviting the other to watch a movie that they have not yet seen, and getting the reaction to that. Ciara and Dean had never seen Miami Vice, so it seemed like the perfect subject for a discussion like this, Michael Mann’s fascinating study of the breakdown of boundaries and identities while inventing new ways to make movies with a digital camera, it seemed like a good fit for the premise.
