Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Mann

In this episode of We Seen't It, the crew kicks things off with a Happy Memorial Day shout-out before diving into some classic television. Pat shares his experience watching Knight Rider for the first time as an adult and explores why revisiting these iconic shows is so rewarding. Kevin brings up Miami Vice and the fascinating history of how it evolved from a made-for-TV movie into a full series. The conversation then shifts to director Michael Mann's work, comparing his made-for-TV Heat film with the theatrical version featuring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The hosts break down how the two versions differ while maintaining respect for the original. As a lighter moment, Pat poses a thought-provoking question to the group: do you prefer having your day off on a Friday or a Monday?

1757. La Guerra dei Sette Anni è arrivata anche sul territorio americano, dove i nativi scelgono se schierarsi con i francesi o con gli inglesi. Tra gli alleati di questi ultimi c'è anche una famiglia della tribù dei Mohicani, alla quale appartiene Nathan, figlio orfano di coloni adottato da Chingachgook e ribattezzato "Occhio di Falco". La loro strada si intreccia ben presto con quella del Maggiore Duncan e delle due figlie del Colonnello Munro, in questo colossal di Michael Mann vincitore di un Oscar per il miglior sonoro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chosen by Chris, Heat arrived in 1995 as Michael Mann's grand, granite-jawed crime epic: a nearly three-hour Los Angeles thriller with the emotional temperature of a fridge full of loaded handguns. Produced by Mann and Art Linson, the film brought together Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on-screen for the first time, backed by a frankly ridiculous ensemble including Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Wes Studi, Mykelti Williamson and Ted Levine. With a reported budget of around $60 million, this was not some cosy little cops-and-robbers caper; it was prestige crime cinema wearing an expensive suit and staring silently out over the freeway.Mann shot Heat across Los Angeles with an obsessive eye for real streets, glass towers, night skies and urban loneliness, giving the city the feel of a living, humming machine. The production became famous for its realism, its meticulous preparation and its muscular sense of place, while the film went on to earn strong reviews, solid box office returns and a lasting reputation as one of the defining American crime films of the 1990s. Its influence can still be felt in modern heist films, police thrillers and brooding men looking meaningfully at skylines.Trailer Guy Plot SynopsisIn a city where every streetlight hides a secret, one master thief lives by a code: never get attached to anything you cannot walk away from in thirty seconds flat.But when a relentless detective begins closing in, two men on opposite sides of the law discover they may understand each other better than anyone else ever could. One hunts. One runs. Both are trapped by the lives they chose.This winter, Los Angeles becomes a battlefield of loyalty, obsession, coffee, suits, guns, and the sort of emotional repression that can only be solved by staring across a table like two divorced panthers.Fun FactsHeat was adapted from ideas Michael Mann had explored years earlier in his 1989 TV film L.A. Takedown.The character Neil McCauley was inspired by a real criminal pursued by Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson.Despite both appearing in The Godfather Part II, Pacino and De Niro did not share scenes in that film, making Heat their first proper on-screen pairing.The famous diner conversation was shot with multiple cameras to capture both actors' performances naturally.The film's long runtime meant its original VHS release had to be split across two tapes, which feels deeply appropriate for a film this committed to being massive.Dante Spinotti's cinematography uses natural and practical lighting to give the film its cool, metallic Los Angeles atmosphere.Kate Mantilini, the restaurant used for the iconic meeting scene, later closed in 2014.Christopher Nolan has cited Heat as an influence on his approach to Gotham City in The Dark Knight.The film's weapon handling and shootout sequences are often praised for their realism and have become a benchmark for crime-action filmmaking.MUSICCheckout the parody music from the show on Spotify ⁠here⁠.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

They discuss 1986's crime thriller "Manhunter" directed by Michael Mann and based off of the 1981 novel "Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris. They talk about Brian Cox's performance as Hannibal Lecktor (Lecter), the portrayal of crime procedural in media, and how Francis Dollarhyde makes for a great horror-adjacent villain. They also get into Mann's "Miami Vice" neon influence bleeding into this movie, the banality of evil, music choices, and many other aspects of the flick. Tammy, Aaron and Derek recorded a podcast.

Michael Mann's Heat  On this week's episode we celebrate our 600th episode with a look at one of the most important films of our generation, Michael Mann's Crime-Thriller, Heist Film, Masterpiece . . . the coming together of two of the greatest and most important actors of their generation, Al Pacino as Lieutenant Vincent Hannah and Robert DeNiro as Professional Criminal Neil McCauley in 1995s Heat. This week we talk the film, but as always the film is simply a jumping off point for a greater undestanding, in the case an understanding of 1990s culture, the crime genre, brilliant acting and direction, and our own personal growth and attachment to the ideas, warnings, and lessons of this exceptional film. A modern day criminal tragedy which re-invents a story that has been told thousands of times and somehow manages to make all things fresh and unique. With a brilliant cast including the aforementioned DeNiro and Pacino, but also Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Mykelti Williamson, Diane Verona, Tom Sizemore, Danny Trejo, Amy Brenneman, William Fichtner, Ashley Judd, Hank Azaria, Natalie Portman, Henry Rollins, John Voight, Kevin Gage, Bud Cort, a heartbreaking Dennis Haysbert, and a brilliant Val Kilmer, Michael Mann's Heat is a beautifully rendered, heartbreaking crime tragedy that feels real, lived in, and timeless.  And yeah . . . we spend a good amount of time on that scene - one of the greatest ever filmed. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Send us Fan MailPlaywright and screenwriter Paul Webb streamed onto Playwright's Spotlight all the way from outside London just a week away rehearsal were about to end for his play Warsaw. Paul is a charming Brit with a background in writing that makes everything sound so easy. That's not to say we don't discuss obstacles and struggles, especially considering entering playwriting at a late stage in life. In a addition, we discuss his shift from poetry into playwriting and being self-taught, drawing from History and his development of The Four Knights in Knaresborough and the following evolution of his play Warsaw and its struggles. We also breakdown the balance and transformation of different stages of life, making characters sound natural, having control of your work (or lack there of) in the mediums of film and television vs stage, being in a completely different country during the rehearsal process, and whether or not there are any secrets to rewrites. Paul's is an inspirational and motivating story for any one hesitant to take any leap into the realm of creativity. Enjoy!Paul Webb wrote his first play, Four Knights in Knaresborough, at the age of 50. It was produced in London, had a national tour and drew the attention of the film industry. He was subsequently commissioned by Stephen Spielberg, Michael Mann and Ridley Scott, working closely with all three over a number of years. He wrote Selma, the 2014 film about the voting rights campaign in Alabama, led by Dr Martin Luther King. Shortly after, Paul turned once again to the theater. His play Hold On! premiered at the St. Louis Black Rep in January 2024. Paul recently completed Six Easy Steps, an intimate history of the marriage between Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and the defining influence of their confidante, Louis Howe. Paul is currently working on a play about the epochal summit meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland in 1986.For tickets for his play Warsaw playing May 1st through May 17th at the International City Theatre in Long Beach, CA, visit - https://internationalcitytheatre.csstix.com/event-details.php?e=841To watch the video format of this episode, visit - https://youtu.be/doV2ng0uwMELinks to sites and resources mentioned in this episode - Theatrical Rights Worldwide - https://www.theatricalrights.comWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show

Climate scientist MICHAEL MANN (The New Climate War) has been a target of threatening abuse ever since he led the team that produced the “hockey stick graph” making clear the extreme rise in temperatures since the Industrial Revolution. PETER HOTEZ (Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism) has likewise been targeted since his highly visible role in vaccine development and public heath communication during the Covid 19 pandemic. Together they've written SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World, in which they name those forces - plutocrats, professionals, petro-states, propagandists, and the press; and offer a path to repel their attacks so that we may effectively confront critical challenges.

Wrapping up the South Beach sojurn into the world of Miami Vice (at least until the Michael B Jordan/Austin Butler film 'Miami Vice 85' comes out next year) with a revisit of Michael Mann's 2006 film. Mann started from a place of "what if we did Miami Vice for real"...real grimy drug-dealing procedurals, real violence and treachery, the real cost of undercover work. And what if we filmed it during the summer in Miami, during Hurricane Season?  All that and more went into the vibes. The pleasures of those vibes are refreshingly present in the film when viewed through today's lens. 

Get ready to dive back into the neon-soaked streets of L.A. and beyond! In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton takes on the ambitious crime epic Heat 2—the novel that somehow manages to be both a prequel and a sequel to Michael Mann's legendary 1995 film.Ever wondered what made Neil McCauley so cold or how Vincent Hanna became a "hyper-caffeinated" detective with a failing personal life? This episode breaks down the twelve-year arc that takes these iconic characters from the shadows of Chicago to the heat of Paraguay and Mexico. Elton also digs into the fascinating true story that inspired the original film, involving a real-life high-stakes meeting in a Chicago deli between a meticulous detective and a professional thief who lived by a 30-second rule.Expect plenty of Elton's signature "cinephile" rants, some very questionable theories about whether Chicago actually exists, and a recurring battle with his producer, [BLEEP], over whether the show needs more machine-gun sound effects.

30 years after ""The Unabomber's"" arrest, Ted Kaczynski's ideas are more alive than ever, cited by killers like Luigi Mangione, debated by philosophers and celebrated by people who see him as a prophet rather than a murderer. Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong, who sat alone with him hours after his capture, will share all-new anecdotes about Kaczynski's case, his capture, her own (not entirely accurate) portrayal in Michael Mann's film ""The Insider,"" and how we can still gain valuable insights from his case three decades later. This episode also details Ted's death, his strange afterlife in the culture, and a reckoning with the uncomfortable questions his legacy forces us to ask. Candice serves as our guide through both the past and the present — and reflects on the person she believes is the true hero of the story: David Kaczynski, the brother whose agonizing decision to turn Ted in may have saved countless lives.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

El podcast de cine de esRadio conversa sobre Heat, el thriller de los noventa que juntó a Al Pacino y Robert De Niro. Pocas películas tienen tan claro que aspiran a clásico del séptimo arte como Heat. Cuando se estrenó a mediados de los noventa, el film de Michael Mann se promocionó como la ansiada reunión de dos ídolos, Robert De Niro y Al Pacino, por mucho que ambos compartan más bien pocas escenas en las tres hodas de pelicula. Pero el tiempo ha situado el film todavía más arriba en el panteón de las películas más influyentes de finales de siglo. En este nuevo podcast de Par-Impar, Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan con José Fortaña, del podcast CineActual, sobre este fenomenal thriller de los noventa. Y ojo, lo hacen con un reducido público en el estudio, por lo que no te extrañes si oyes alguna propuesta fuera de micrófonos. La película es célebre, ante todo, por reunir en una misma pantalla a dos titanes de la interpretación: Al Pacino y Robert De Niro. El término original Heat hace referencia a la presión policial que siente el delincuente mientras disecciona la vida de dos profesionales en extremos opuestos de la ley que, sin embargo, comparten una ética de trabajo implacable y una soledad compartida que los hace extrañamente similares. Uno de los puntos fuertes destacados es el estilo visual de Michael Mann. Se subraya su capacidad para dotar a las escenas de una atmósfera hipnótica, apoyada en la fotografía de Dante Spinotti y una banda sonora ambiental, con temas de Moby, que rehúye los tópicos del cine de acción convencional. La película no tiene prisa; se toma casi tres horas para desarrollar no solo la trama del gran atraco al banco, sino también la maraña de subtramas personales que humanizan a todo el equipo de criminales y policías. El personaje de Robert De Niro, Neil McCauley, encarna al criminal disciplinado cuya máxima es no tener nada en la vida que no puedas dejar atrás en treinta segundos si sientes la presencia de la justicia a la vuelta de la esquina. Frente a él, el Vincent Hanna de Al Pacino es un detective consumido por su oficio, cuya vida personal es un desastre de matrimonios fallidos, pero que posee una agudeza intelectual que le permite reconocer en McCauley a un igual. Asimismo, el podcast reflexiona sobre el papel de las mujeres en este universo. Personajes interpretados por Ashley Judd o Diane Venora no son simples adornos, sino el reflejo del sacrificio emocional que conlleva la obsesión por el deber o el crimen. La fragilidad masculina se hace evidente cuando estos hombres ven cómo sus mundos afectivos se desmoronan por su incapacidad de conciliar la vida profesional con la personal.

Con Carlos M. Mira conversamos de Código de silencio, una película policiaca considerada de las mejores de Chuck Norris. Nuevo episodio del podcast de cine de esRadio, Par-Impar, con Dani Palacios y Juanma González comentando con el periodista Carlos M. Mira uno de los títulos mejor valorados de Chuck Norris, la cinta policiaca Código de silencio. Estrenada en 1985 y con un guion descartado por Clint Eastwood para su saga de Harry el sucio, la película de Andrew Davis, que después dirigiría El fugitivo con Harrison Ford o Alerta máxima con Steven Seagal, sigue los pasos de un duro policía atrapado en medio de una guerra de bandas. Bajo la vigilancia de sus oficiales intentan llevar a cabo una gran compra de cocaína a una familia sudamericana, pero el plan no resulta y uno de los traficantes los mata a sangre fría. La investigación de los hechos es encargada a Eddie Cusack, un sargento conocido por su determinación a la hora de hacer cumplir la ley. Sin dejar de lado el show de artes marciales y acción que asociamos al actor, Código de silencio tiene muchas otras virtudes, entre otras una visión áspera de la corrupción tanto en estamentos policiales como en los criminales, emparentándose a obras mayores de directores como William Friedkin o Michael Mann. Sin mirarlas frente a frente o abandonar su espíritu de cine de género, esta película sin aparentes pretensiones de Chuck Norris se dibuja como un policial muy a reivindicar. Además, comentamos otras cintas como El héroe y el terror, Los valientes visten de negro y, por supuesto, los clásicos de la Cannon y Norris como Invasión USA o Desaparecido en combate.

His research focuses on climate science and climate change. He is the author (together with Peter Hotez) of Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World. In this episode, we focus on Science Under Siege. We talk about the premise and timing of the book. We discuss what antiscience is; how it has manifested in recent years; climate change denial; and anti-intellectualism and anti-expert takes. We talk about the five main antiscience forces: the plutocrats; the petrostates; the “pros”; the propagandists; and the press. We discuss the narrative that the “wokes” are the real threat to science. Finally, we also discuss how we can deal with these antiscience forces.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The Oscars are in the rearview mirror, which gives us an opportunity to turn our attention back to television and streaming programs. There has been a lot of talk about "Love Story," the latest from Ryan Murphy that focuses on the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Alessandro Nivola plays Calvin Klein in the show, and on this week's episode, Bruce Miller shares an interview with the actor. Nivola discusses playing the role and the show, and talks about his son, Sam Nivola, who starred in the most recent season of "The White Lotus." The hosts then shift from TV to the big screen with the new film "Reminders of Him," directed by Vanessa Caswill and based on Colleen Hoover's novel, with a screenplay by Hoover and Lauren Levine. Other topics coming: the development of "Heat 2" from Michael Mann, the conclusion of "Bridgerton" season 4, and the all-too-brief fifth season of "Shoresy." About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.

For our 300th episode, Not A Bomb takes a moment to look back on nearly six years of exploring overlooked and misunderstood films. Brad and Troy reflect on the evolution of the show, the community that has grown around it, and the conversations that have shaped its identity.To mark the milestone, the episode revisits Michael Mann's Heat (1995) — a film that has long been part of the podcast's internal history. Though never a “bomb,” Heat is a work whose reputation has deepened over time, making it a fitting choice for this moment. The discussion examines the film's legacy, performances, craftsmanship, and themes, drawing on ideas explored in past blog posts while offering new perspective.Episode 300 serves as both a celebration and a reaffirmation of the show's purpose: to give films the thoughtful attention they deserve and to continue discovering the stories behind them.Heat is directed by Michael Mann and stars Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Tom Sizemore, Diane Brenneman, Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson, Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Jon Voight, and Val KilmerSupport the ShowWant to help support the show?

This week, DtW looks back at the beginnings of a villain so beloved he became the hero! Dan and Raul watched Manhunter, the Michael Mann directed film that introduced the film world to one Hannibal Lecter (Lektor?) and his creepy charisma. While the performance Brian Cox brings to the Cannibal stands in stark contrast to the more famous performance, the whole film is cool and stylish glimpse into a franchise and director both bound for legendary status. Come track down the killer with us!

Guess who I got to meet last week - Gina Gershon. That's right, the incredibly beautiful and talented actress, author, singer, and long-standing disruptor of polite expectations. You know Gina from unforgettable roles in Bound, Showgirls, Face/Off, Cocktail, and a career that has zig-zagged fearlessly between Hollywood glamor, indie grit, Broadway, and music. We talked about her work and life as recounted in her new memoir, 'Alpha Pussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs' (a title that caught the attention of my 16 year-old son and, well, me). Gina shares stories about Prince, David Mamet, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Altman, Michael Mann, and Lou Reed. And she spills the beans about kissing both Tom Cruise and Jennifer Tilly (I'd go with Jen, personally). Oh, she also tells why it was so much fun to improv with Larry David on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. Need I say more? Okay, yes - just a little: What I took away from this interview is that artists like Gina who prioritize freedom above commerce sometimes miss out on millions of dollars and a degree of “stardom,” but they maintain their sense of self and Alpha vibe. Check it out. Please ⁠rate and review⁠ ⁠⁠Reasonably Happy⁠ ⁠HERE⁠⁠  (DO IT!) Read ⁠Paul's ⁠⁠Substack newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ⁠HERE⁠  Buy Gina's book HERE.

Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor are back talking movies, TV, and what's worth your time—from a fresh Scream 7 theater trip to deep-cut classics and streaming picks on the FIRST episode of The Next Reel! In this episode:

On today's action-packed episode, Sean first reacts to Netflix backing out of the bidding for Warner Brothers—clearing the path for a merger with Paramount (2:01). Next, he is joined by Chris Ryan to react to Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio's casting in Michael Mann's ‘Heat 2' and give a general temperature check on the movie (6:36). Then, they cover ‘Scream 7' and preface the conversation by discussing the rumored controversy behind the shuffling cast (16:17) before diving fully into spoilers and exploring the myriad of reasons why they found the film to be deeply unsuccessful (21:57). Later, Sean is joined by Amanda Dobbins and Adam Nayman to discuss one of their favorite movies of the year so far: Matt Johnson's ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.' They talk through why the movie is so hysterical, how its sincerity makes the movie feel moving, and why it became an instant cult classic (49:10). Finally, Sean is joined by Johnson to discuss why he felt he needed to make this movie right now, how having no knowledge of the original series actually makes the movie better, and what he's doing next with ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show' Season 3, as well as his Anthony Bourdain biopic ‘Tony,' starring Dominic Sessa (1:18:45).
