I watched a lot of Miami Vice growing up, and while Crockett and Tubbs were the dudes and I loved them, I always had a soft spot for Detective Trudy Joplin, masterfully played with sass and warmth by Olivia Brown.

Late Night Memories
As you no doubt remember, because I harp on about it frequently, I spent most Friday and Saturday nights in the early to mid-1990s watching B-movies on late-night television. And when Rhonda Shear hosted these gonzo cult movies on USA Up All Night I was absolutely glued to the boob tube. Ahem *cough cough* I … Continue reading Late Night Memories

In the 1980s and early 1990s, I was introduced to the film thanks to my beloved … Continue reading Lost and Found: Night of the Juggler
