We begin this episode with sad news and the passing of Florida author Tim Dorsey. Dorsey joined us on Episode 73.

Did you know the longest private airstrip in America is in Florida?

The Brian DePalma-directed 'Scarface' from 1983 starring Al Pacino as Cuban immigrant turned Miami cocaine kingpin Tony Montana alongside Michelle Pfeiffer celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2023. Marking the occasion, movie critic and film historian Nat Segaloff has written "Say Hello to My Little Friend: A Century of Scarface." He's our guest this week.

We have a number of wonderful episodes in our archives related to the drug trade in Miami in the 1980s, as well as Cuban immigration and the Marielitos. If you're interested in this topic, check them out.

If you'd like to celebrate the anniversary alongside Pacino at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach, you can do so here.
