Welcome to Scarface by the Minute, the podcast that breaks down Brian De Palma's 1983 crime epic one minute at a time.Each episode zooms in on a single minute of the film: what's on screen, what happened behind the camera, and the real history that inspired it. From the 1980 Mariel boatlift to the cocaine-fueled Miami of the early 80s, we dig into the true stories behind Tony Montana's rise, along with the cast, the crew, and the craft that made Scarface a cultural icon.Along the way, you'll hear recurring segments like Minute Myths, where we separate fact from legend; the Temper Tracker and Ruthlessness Meter, where we chart Tony's slow boil; a lightning round of facts and figures; and our official rating of every minute on the cocaine mountain scale.Whether you've seen Scarface fifty times or you're watching it for the first time, pull up a chair. We've got about 170 minutes to get through.
