Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we pack a lunch, for our noses, consisting of huge baggies of white powder that is definitely crushed up baby laxatives and not illegal drugs the writer keeps in the trunk of his car, and get to work snorting this SCARFACEd Crime/Drama over on Peacock starring …our little friend… oh hello… in this 1983 cult classic about a guy who is dealing with some real anger issues… and lower back pain? Hey Tony… why you sitting like that on the couch Tony… you are sitting like your ass is on your shoulders Tony… no.. you are the cock-a-roach-a… Hey, is your sister dating anyone? Besides you… muhaha

Anywho,  welcome to my room of excess. In the center I have a Bubble Bath Hot Tub with cigar dispenser… and in front of that I have my TV slash Security Cameras slash Booze Bar.. and behind me is a place for my nagging wife to do her nails and quote unquote powder her nose… and that spot right there… that is your spot to stand and enjoy me berating you.  Now, has anyone seen my emotional support tiger? I’m feeling lonely… 

Randy, A spoonful of coke really helps the depression go down. Don’t do drugs.

SHOW NOTES

• This movie starts off with funky music… I’m in.
• aaaand… I have to read a bunch of shit. Why.
• “In May of 1980, Fidel Castro in an effort to normalize relations with the Carter Administration opened the harbor at Mariel, Cuba with the apparent intention of letting some of his people join their relatives in the United States. Within seventy-two hours, 3,000 U.S. boats were headed for Cuba. In the next few weeks, it became evident that Castro was forcing the boat owners to carry back with them not only their relatives but the dregs of his jail population. By the time the port was closed 125,000 ‘Marielitos‘ had landed in Florida. An estimated 25,000 had criminal records. This is the story of that minority those they call ‘Los Bandidos’“
