Welcoming back Carly Severn, we take a moment to indulge in Michael Mann's existential police / serial killer drama Manhunter. We talk about the film's distinctive use of unexpected style to convey the inner lives of its characters, the film's (and Mann's overall) focus on the individual rather than societal, dreams, tigers, mental illness, men doing work, men playing god, and the angst of being called to do something impossible.

Five years ago today, the first episode of Double Edged Double Bill was released. Now after half a decade, the show is sadly coming to a close.

Finally, Adam and Thomas reminisce about the last five years while answering the crucial questions. What were the best and worst movies they ever covered?

This week's topic is an important one as we'll be looking at homeschool co-op security and safety. While we all wish this was a topic that didn't require serious consideration, in the day and age we live in we must have a solid plan to protect our kiddos when they're Co-op, church, etcetera. Leslie is joined by Michael Mann today. Michael is a Marine Corps and law enforcement veteran currently serving as an expert in physical protection for both the corporate sector and faith-based organizations he has some incredible insights to offer us all. This is an episode that we hope you'll share with your Co-op and tutorial leaders to make sure they have this information as well. Michael will be joining us at Teach Them Diligently Pigeon Forge, TN May 4-6, 2023 where he'll be speaking on security issues. Make your plans to join us there. Get more details here. You've probably heard Leslie refer to “Heart Schooling or Heart Schoolers” quite a bit on the show already, but we wanted to make sure you understood where it came from. Leslie wrote Heart School to help parents like you get more clarity about what God has CALLED you to do and then to see how you can find a lot of peace for your own heart and your family by allowing the vision God's given you to guide your day-to-day decisions. The clarity Heart School will provide will help you remove friction in your relationships, it'll give you confidence that you're doing what is best-- and that you can do it well, bring clarity, peace, and structure to your days, and guide your everyday decisions with your vision in mind. I sincerely believe that EVERY Homeschool family, whether you're just starting out or whether you've been homeschooling for a long time, will benefit from Heart School. The class is digital, so you can watch it at your own pace, and many couples have benefitted from walking through it together. It contains several worksheets designed to make you think about and come up with strategies about things you may not have considered before. Go to Teach Them Diligently.net/heartschool to learn more and enroll today. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: What are some of the threats facing homeschool co-ops? How do we protect our children while they attend school away from the home? What's law enforcement's role in protecting citizens (in general)? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Following his 1995 crime epic 'Heat', Michael Mann was in a position to do most any film he desired to do. So when Disney Studios ponied up north of 90 million dollars to help him bring a thorny, wordy, action-free journalism picture to life, they probably reasonably expected a 'All The President's Men' for a new generation. And while their efforts garnered 7 Oscar nominations, the film disappointed at the box office in part due to the difficulty in communicating to prospective viewers exactly what the film was about. And pointedly, Mann cast Pacino and Crowe exactly BECAUSE he planned to use them as they'd never been seen before. Audiences expecting Crowe to break apart a desk as he'd done in 'LA Confidential' or for Pacino to embody Satan a la 'The Devil's Advocate' were instead confronted with something quite different. Pacino as facile, intelligent man of the media. Australian-born Crowe playing a man 23 years older than him, a man with a complex speaking voice equal parts The Bronx, Japan, and Kentucky..but no part Australian. A fictionalized account of a true story, 'The Insider' is based on the battle surrounding a 60 Minutes segment about Jeffrey Wigand, a whistleblower in the tobacco industry, in particular covering his and CBS producer Lowell Bergman's struggles as they defend his testimony against efforts to discredit and suppress it by both inside business interests within CBS and by Wigand's former employer, the powerful Brown & Williamson tobacco company. In this episode, I talk about the making of this film, its extraordinary technical accomplishments, and the fantastic leading performances from Crowe, Pacino, and Christopher Plummer as 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace. We hear from Mann and Crowe about the film, and play some surprising sound drops highlighting some of the twists and turns that the film presents. Also covered: 'Miami Vice', WKRP In Cincinnati's Andy Travis and his unlikely cameo in 'The Insider', Animal House's D-Day in maybe the best scene in the whole of 'The Insider', supporting work from Colm Feore, Gina Gershon, Phillip Baker Hall, and MORE!
Today I'm joined by legendary character actor William Fichtner. I had him on the show to discuss his latest film 88. Having appeared in a wide range of films along with television and theater roles over the course of his career, William Fichtner continues to carve out a distinctive reputation as one of our most versatile and talented actors, whether in comedy or drama, action or character study. He is one of Hollywood's most distinct and familiar faces. Fichtner can next be seen in the Robert Rodriguez feature film Hypnotic alongside Ben Affleck and Alice Braga, and in 88 directed by Thomas Ikimi. Other recent films include The Birthday Cake, co-starring Ewan McGregor and Val Kilmer; The Space Between, opposite Kelsey Grammer and directed by Rachel Winter; Jack & Josie directed by Sarah Lancaster; Armed, written and directed by Mario Van Peebles; Finding Steve McQueen with Forest Whitaker, and opposite Jeffery Wright in the indie feature O.G. directed by Madeleine Sackler that premiered on HBO.

Pivoting to the other side of the camera, Fichtner directed, produced, co-wrote, and starred in his feature film Cold Brook shot mostly in his hometown of Buffalo, New York. Segueing between television and feature films, Fichtner led an ensemble cast in the original first 2 seasons of the international crime series Crossing Lines. He recurred on HBO's Entourage from 2009-2011 and played ‘FBI Agent Alexander Mahone' for three seasons on Fox's hit drama series, Prison Break. William recently played Adam on CBS's hit show Mom opposite Allison Janney, from creator Chuck Lorre. William can now be seen in the Peacock limited series Joe vs Carol where he stars alongside Kate McKinnon and John Cameron Mitchell. Other feature films include 12 Strong for producer Jerry Bruckheimer; Independence Day:Resurgence directed by Roland Emmerich; Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; director Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger and Neil Blomkamp's Elysium. He also co-starred in writer-director Paul Haggis' Academy Award-winning Crash. For his performance in that film, he shared a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble Cast in a Feature Film. Other film credits include Drive Angry for director Patrick Lussier; Shawn Levy's Date Night; Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell; Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight; the remake of The Longest Yard; the comedy The Amateurs with Jeff Bridges; Rodrigo Garcia's Nine Lives; Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down; What's The Worst That Could Happen; Wolfgang Peterson's The Perfect Storm; Drowning Mona; Ultraviolet and Equilibrium, both for writer-director Kurt Wimmer; Armageddon directed by Michael Bay; Michael Mann's Heat; Robert Zemeckis' Contact; Doug Liman's Go; Strange Days directed by Katherine Bigelow; Passion of Mind; Steven Soderbergh's The Underneath; Agnieszka Holland's Julie Walking Home and The Settlement with John C. Reilly, among many others. As a member of the Circle Repertory Theatre, Fichtner won critical acclaim for his role in The Fiery Furnace, directed by Norman Rene. Other stage credits include Raft of the Medusa at the Minetta Lane Theatre, The Years at the Manhattan Theatre Club, Clothes for a Summer Hotel at the Williamstown Theatre festival and Machinal at The Public Theatre. 88 is currently available on VOD. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support

Michael Mann and I met through architecture. On a trip to London about 25 years ago, he asked to visit the Lloyd's Building, designed by my husband, Richard Rogers. For us, it was an honour. For if Michael was a fan of Richard's architecture, Richard was a huge fan of Michael's movies. In fact, when watching Ali, Miami Vice or Collateral, my arm would be constantly squeezed. Not due to a dramatic moment of fear or tension or mystery, but at the way the buildings, streets, airports, bridges and interiors, even elevators, were portrayed on screen. Over long dinners, Richard and Michael often compared making a movie to making a building. Michael once said, ‘Well, at least, Richard, in a building, you can say to a client, if you remove a column, the building will fall down. Try saying that about a scene to a producer.' Of all the movies Michael has made, though, the one that I consider the greatest is 60 seconds long, shot entirely underwater in a swimming pool. Michael and his wife, Summer, with their children, swimmingly, wishing a happy birthday to Richard. No architecture in this movie—just love.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our ongoing series of notable Tom Cruise vehicles from different eras continues, all leading to the release of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I coming this July. This particular episode focuses on a time in the early '2000's when Cruise was both considered one of the biggest movie stars in the world AND still chasing interesting parts with top-flight directors....this was his first and only collaboration with the legendary Michael Mann who had just recently directed seminal films like Heat and The Insider. Cruise plays an elite hit-man on a one night mission to assassinate six targets in six different areas of Los Angeles....and for transportation, he enlists Jamie Foxx' Max who drives a taxi but aspires to more. He also never envisioned himself driving an assassin around for the night nor does he condone murder - Max is also of course scared for his OWN life which is where the story derives much of its tension. And what results is an elegantly shot night-time thriller as we follow both Vincent and Max to various locations to meet various characters with an extensive cast that also includes Jada Pinkett-Smith, Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem, and Bruce McGill. Let's find out where the night takes us.....Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) celebrates the third anniversary of the pod by reflecting on their possibly changed feelings about the show and with a dialogue about how our opinions on movies change over time! Craig understands why Casablanca is the classic it is the older he gets. Daniel's feelings on Michael Mann's filmography have shifted in recent years. Connor explains how his favorite movies of any given year are often not his favorites years later. Edwin is a static man. Happy Anniversary, Secret Movie Clubbers!
Jeff Gibbs is the director of Planet of the Humans, a feature-length documentary released in 2019 which generated controversy because of its full-throated criticism of alternative energy, and even led some academics -- including Michael Mann. Leah Stokes, and Mark Jacobson -- to demand that Michael Moore, the executive director of the film, issue an apology. In this episode, Gibbs talks about what has happened since the film was released, why “green energy is delusional energy,” why he believes we are “in denial that we are reaching” the limits of the planet to sustain so many humans, and why he sees climate activist Bill McKibben as the “environmental Jesus.” (Recorded on January 26, 2023)

The late Tom Sizemore said it best, “For me, the action is the juice.” In 1995 few filmmakers had the juice to convince Warner Bros. to green light an ambitious three hour movie featuring two of the greatest actors of their generation. But visionary director Michael Mann was determined to finally realize his sprawling Los Angeles crime saga, and he did so with the critically acclaimed “Heat,” a searing work widely considered to be his masterpiece. Jason Thompson returns to the pod and joins Dennis to celebrate this superb achievement and also vent about how this film failed to garner a single Academy Award nomination. Criminal indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jason and Steven dive deep into the best heist movie of all time. Rest in Peace Tom Sizemore. Episode 60: Michael Mann's Heat.
For the second week of our Comfort Crime month, John and Georgia deep dive into the Los Angeles underworld with Michael Mann's 1995 epic cops and robbers movie, Heat. This movie brings you so far into the symbiotic relationship between law enforcement and crooks that it's difficult to know what side you're on. We discuss the real life story of Chicago detective Chuck Adamson, whose coffee break with career criminal Neil McCauley inspired Mann's film, the iconic first-ever onscreen scene between acting heavyweights Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, the many parallelisms between Hanna and McCauley, Michael Mann's collaboration with celebrated cinematographer Dante Spinotti (which began with Manhunter in 1986), the incredibly well-researched screenplay, the loneliness of existing outside regular society, and the rigorous training the actors went through to perform their roles. This episode is more jam-packed than the 405 at rush hour, so flip on the blue flashing lights, hit the siren, and ride along with us!
A professional safecracker at the top of his game hopes to build a future after doing one big score for the Chicago mob. Written and directed by Michael Mann.

This week Shea Weekley, a first-time Missing Framer, joins Shawn for their first viewing of Michael Mann's debut feature Thief starring James Caan. Along with their thoughts on the film and whether it holds up to its classic status, Shawn and Shea discuss whether Mann's unique, rain-drenched, steel blue vision was clear from his debut and how Caan's performance is the glue that holds the story together.HOSTSShawn EastridgeShea Weekley
We talk about the 1980 Michael Mann film Thief, starring ultimate tough guy James Caan as a besieged jewel thief working the mean streets of Chicago.
Based on Corey's Amsterdam (2022), Paul figured, "Let's keep the FDR-train rolling!" and so he chose Annie (1982). Once again set in 1933, Annie asks the question we thought Paul McCartney had answered, "Can I buy me love?" From the classic right-wing comic strip to the inscrutable decision to have John Huston direct to the Michael-Mann-esque climax to Corey's teenage infatuation with Ann Reinking in Pippin to even (leapin' lizards) Bolsheviks, this episode has it all.
Bob and Brad wrap up Season 6 with Michael Mann's 1992 historical epic The Last of the Mohicans, a film that neither Bob nor Brad had seen before. Luckily, they're joined by film critic Daniel Joyaux to break it down. Daniel counts this among his favorite movies, largely because of just how rewatchable it is. Together, the trio discuss Daniel Day-Lewis having the movie stolen out from under him by the phenomenal Wes Studi, the career of Madeleine Stowe, and how this movie fits into the catalog of Mann's filmography. (Daniel sips on three whiskeys that were generously delivered to him by our friends at Detroit City Distillery.) Meanwhile, they stay in Scotland to try The Glenlivet Enigma. This special-release scotch is part of the brand's Mystery Series, which are marketed without tasting notes or much info in the way of provenance. At around a $150 price tag, is it worth the guessing game? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday. Film & Whiskey Instagram Film & Whiskey Facebook Film & Whiskey Twitter Email us!

For us, the action is the juice with a double feature for the ages, the very sort of pairing that fights for freedom and lives for love (IYKYK): Heat & Max Keeble's Big Move! But before we explore these insane moves- large and small- this edition's Blue Plate Special digs into recent ticket price hikes at AMC Theatres, M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller Knock at the Cabin, the 2000 hyperlink landmark Amores Perros, and an Amazon order mix-up (not once but twice!!) that's destined to forever live in infamy. But the men of the hour (Pacino, De Niro, and Linz) inevitably make their presence felt in an action-packed discussion that covers the innumerable ways in which Heat is a classic, Max Keeble's Big Move is not, Jon Voight's hair, Larry Miller's lack thereof, and how both films, in their own way, serve as generational touchstones to criminals and dreamers in equal measure.

Welcome back to a brand new episode of your favorite movie bomb podcast! The guys are still celbrating cinematice bromances. This week, they travel to TV Land and discuss the film adaptation of the beloved television series Miami Vice. Directed by podcast favorite, Michael Mann, Miami Vice bucked the trend of turning TV series into big box comedies and went the more serious route. Upon release, fans and critics alike found the digital camerawork to be off-putting and the film failed to recoup its production budget. Now, in 2023, our hosts discuss if this film was way ahead of its time. Is Miami Vice a modern film noir classic? Was it released 15 years to early? How does the new version of Crocket and Tubbs hold up? Did The Phil Collins tune “In the Air Tonight” really need to be remade? Listen to this reexamination of Miami Vice and found out!

Bob and Brad continue their miniseries of Michael Mann films with his 1995 crime epic Heat, a movie that Bob had surprisingly never seen until about a year ago. This is Brad's first time watching the much-hyped pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and the guys have plenty of thoughts on the two lead performances. Mixed in is a review of Val Kilmer, as well as a serial-killer subplot that's entirely unnecessary to the film. Meanwhile, they return to one of their favorite scotch whisky brands to try Glenmorangie Astar. This special-release scotch aged in ex-bourbon casks is still available on the market, albeit at around a $100 price tag. One of our hosts loves this whisky, while the other is in a decidedly different spot. Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday.

When former lawyer and bestselling author Meg Gardiner teamed up with Michael Mann for the follow-up novel to his 1995 crime thriller movie Heat, working with the legendary filmmaker was an eye-opener. “All the legends about his proclivities for research are accurate,” Gardiner told the ABA Journal's Matt Reynolds. “If you want to find out how to perform a tunnel heist in a Chicago bank, you better get a bank robber on the phone and chat with him for a couple of hours.”
