Why Wasn't It Better?

Miami Vice should have been a slam dunk. Michael Mann adapting his own iconic television series with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the lead roles sounds like a guaranteed hit. Instead, audiences got a moody, digitally-shot crime film that cared far more about atmosphere, professionalism, and vibe than plot or nostalgia. But over the years, the movie has developed a passionate following. Mojito fiend and Certified Mann Fan Garret Ohringer is here to proclaim his love for Miami Vice.

On this bonus episode, we’re breaking down Hoppers, a weird, funny, and surprisingly unpredictable original that feels like a throwback to when Pixar wasn’t afraid to experiment. It’s not top-tier, but it’s exactly the kind of risk-taking, offbeat storytelling we’ve been missing. Is this the direction Pixar should be heading in?
