THE PODCAST IS THE JUICE!!!
This week we continue our ongoing Michael Mann series, analyzing his LA bank robber masterpiece, HEAT! Hot off our examination of his first film, we talk about the ways Mann learned from the failures and successes of THIEF (and the ways he repeated certain successes and failures) for this much more ambitious second effort in the crime thriller genre.
Topics include 1) where does this rank in the pantheon of great heist films? 2) why can't Mann write female characters well?? 3) Did Mann miss his window to team up prime Robert De Niro and prime Al Pacino?
If you want to call us with your takes, cases or just with general feedback, leave us a message at (818) 538-4966. We want to hear from you!
... And stay tuned next week for the conclusion of our Michael Mann series when we take a joy ride with Tom Cruise's salt-and-pepper sociopath in 2007's COLLATERAL!!
