am already a fan of Kenny- loved his Goodfellas book! - and wonderful insights here into Scarface. One little nitpick I have to make is about the partial revisionism in the commentary about Reagan's 1980s: If one piece of Scarface is commentary on 80s excess, the timeline doesn't work. When production began, in 1982, the U.S. was still in a recession. The excess/Reagan's capitalism that we remember, didn't really begin until about mid-1983.Small nitpick, otherwise great episode
Great point! I think if we were to put it more carefully, it would be that the movie embodies the kind of excess that came to be characteristic of the 80s
