This week Paul and Kieran sit down to discuss the Michael Mann film 'Manhunter', and with that comes conversation on the remake of this, 'Red Dragon', as well as the other Hannibal Lecktor films (such as 'Silence of the Lambs'), the brillaint Bryan Fueller show Hannibal as well as the books from Thomas Harris.

[School of Movies 2026] One of the greatest thrillers of the 20th Century, we recorded this show on the 30th Anniversary of Michael Mann's crime epic. This is most definitely NOT a film to watch in twenty-minute chunks on your phone at work! It is a masterfully crafted presentation of the tension between professionalism and emotion, punctuated with ferocious gunfire and transcendant, eliptical music. It is a one-time head-to-head between two of the most celebrated actors of that age, Godfather veterans Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro as a detective and a thief who keep themselves at peak focus to the detriment of their personal lives. It is lightning in a bottle, the kind of career-peak for all involved that you may not instantly adore, but it will linger nonetheless, and whenever you find yourself in a silver-blue pre-sunrise, it will come back to you.

On our milestone 75th episode, and final episode of the season, we're joined by filmmakers (and returning guests) Samantha Garcia and David Wong, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Michael Mann's Los Angeles crime saga: "Heat." This is a dive deep into Mann's meticulous craftsmanship, the iconic performances from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the legendary downtown shootout, and how LA was utilized as a living, breathing character, why it remains endlessly rewatchable, and why, even 30 years later, it still sets the standard.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

In their new book, "Science Under Siege," Peter Hotez and Michael Mann reveal the main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press.

The Idiots celebrate the end of the year with a slew of predictions that everyone hopes never come true, except the cat murder thing.  Ted's tip is so brutally bad that Matt and Mark have to step in and demand that Ted stop tipping.  

For more than 30 years, Spencer Garrett has been one of those actors you instantly recognize, even if you can't place exactly where you've seen him. In this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Spencer opens up about the working actor's life, aging in the business, finding purpose, and what it really means to be “that guy from that thing.” Spencer shares the origin story of the Character Actors Dining Society (the CADS) and the famous dinners with Alfred Molina, Stephen Weber, Eric McCormack, Titus Welliver, Kevin Pollak, Richard Kind, Jason Alexander, and more. He also talks about career pivots, breaking out of “prick in a suit” casting, lessons learned from Robert Duvall, Dustin Hoffman, and Glenn Close, and why he still gets excited every time he pulls onto a studio lot. Plus, Spencer tells the story of meeting his partner Dana Bash and how their worlds collide, actor life vs CNN life, with plenty of laughs along the way. If you like deep, thoughtful conversations with actors who have lived the whole Hollywood ride, this one's for you.

Marking the film's 30th anniversary, this episode revisits Heat's opening heist through its final standoff. We unpack why Michael Mann's crime drama remains essential viewing and how Al Pacino and Robert De Niro anchor a sprawling ensemble, including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Amy Brenneman, and Ashley Judd, among others. We explore Michael Mann's meticulous production design, LA as a character, and the meticulous pacing that keeps Heat tactile and immersive—featuring insights into how the film's cast brings those pages to life. We also explore the coming together of two screen legends navigating duty, honor, and obsession in a film built around restraint as much as firepower. We break down the chemistry between Pacino and De Niro, and how it became the cornerstone of the film's marketing campaign. Joining in for this discussion is Dustin Rybka, one of the new co-hosts of our upcoming spinoff, and he helps dive into why Heat is still considered one of the best movies of its kind 30 years later.Where To Watch Heat

This week we're reviewing Michael Mann's debut film, Thief. We break the seal on the 2025 edition of Booker's The Reserves.

In this episode of the show, our Ben Affleck mini-retrospective continues with The Town. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about whether The Town is a herald of filmmaking growth from Affleck, how he directs his own performance and how the ideas of organic authenticity explored in Gone Baby Gone translate to a different genre. We comment on Affleck's directorial style, Jeremy Renner's powerhouse performance and the many flourishes connecting The Town to such filmmakers as Michael Mann, Ridley Scott and John Frankenheimer. We also chuckle at a few shots here and there, wonder if FBI agents rehearse their PowerPoint presentations and show gratitude that these bank robbers had a habit of raiding barber shops for DNA with which they could use to contaminate crime scenes and not other establishments where DNA is also found.

S3 E3 Confronting the Climate Emergency with Dr. Peter CarterzNov 24, 2025Welcome to the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.Dean of Law at UC Berkeley, Erwin Chemerinsky, Sanford Levinson, George Van Cleve, and many others have been calling for constitutional reform for a long time. They say we will not solve the Climate Emergency until we change our now-outdated and dangerous Constitution. Climate scientists, more than most political scientists, understand our climate is in serious trouble, and governments are failing to address the gathering threat of global warming. Johan Rockstrom, Michael Mann, David Suzuki, James Henson, and Paul Beckwith foresee a pretty grim future for humanity. The chronology of climate-related unnatural disasters is rapidly escalating. Unprecedented Crime, by Dr. Peter Carter and Elizabeth Woodworth, is a rich, legally grounded indictment of our government's failure to act. Peter is concerned, and like many, getting more concerned every day. I want to understand his frustration over the failure of government to respond to this unprecedented crime, and to discuss his thoughts on game changers for survival. Confronting the Climate Emergency with Dr. Peter Carter takes listeners deep into the link between ecological collapse and political malfeasance. From David Suzuki's call for a climate revolution, to COP 30 in Brazil, from Bill Gates' inequality blind spot to the visionaries behind the Venus Project, this episode asks the hardest question of all: Can we confront the climate emergency before it is too late? Dr. Carter and I explore the crime scene, the power of citizen action, the technologies shaping our future, and constitutional reform in this episode of the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast. Because democracy, like all living things, must evolve—or perish.

How much power do we hold, individually and collectively, when it comes to shaping Earth's future? What happens when we push a planet past the limits of its resilience?

In honor of its upcoming 30th Anniversary next month, here is our newly remastered (with additional content) review of one of The Greatest Films Ever!“Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner….” – Neil McCauley, 1995And that's the apparent thesis for one of the most beloved films of the past thirty years spoken by living legend Robert DeNiro sitting across from fellow living legend Al Pacino.  Or is it really the main theme of the movie?  Maybe it's just something cool-sounding that a tough guy says but doesn't really follow through on….director Michael Mann examines that very question among so many others during this almost three hour crime epic focusing on the brewing conflict between two self-obsessed master tacticians on both sides of the law…and the women who love them….along with every one else whose lives they impact.  This STACKED cast also includes Val Kilmer, Diana Venora, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Wes Studi, Dennis Haysbert, Mykelti Williamson, Danny Trejo, and Ted Levine among SO many others.  Let's find out if The Action Really IS The Juice…..Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Movie News Roundup — A fast-paced intro to the week's biggest film headlines, from Sydney Sweeney's PR problem to Heat 2 finally moving forward with director Michael Mann and Leonardo DiCaprio possibly being attached, plus the official title and release date for The Social Network II, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. We also get an Ocean's 14 Update with George Clooney teasing a new chapter in the heist franchise. We map out potential plots and possible casts while we also dive into the news about Bradley Cooper starring opposite Margot Robbie in a new Ocean's 11 prequel. We speculate on tone, era, and how this would fit into the beloved franchise universe. In addition, we dive into Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler being in talks for Joseph Kosinski's take on Miami Vice. We explore how a modern reboot could reinterpret the Miami underworld and style for today's audiences. Nostalgia junkies will also love the news about  Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz being rumored to return in a fourth installment of The Mummy franchise as well as Gremlins 3 landing a 2027 release date with Chris Columbus directing. We also take a look at the exciting announcement that Tom Ford has set  a bold new project with an all-star cast. We forecast stylistic choices, potential genres, and where this film could fit in Ford's auteur catalog following his last film in 2016. We then wrap things up with movie trailers for Scream 7, Marty Supreme, The Housemaid, Primate, Toy Story 5 and The Devil Wears Prada 2. Did you miss the news? Because we sure missed bringing it to you!

Michael Mann's The Insider is easily the most glaring omission from the our initial 18, universally regarded as one of the best – if not THE best – movie of 1999. Finishing in 69th place, sandwiched between two previous entries, Girl Interrupted at 70th and Mystery Men at 68th, The Insider stars Russell Crowe, in an Oscar-nominated performance, and Al Pacino alongside an incredibly deep supporting class (including the greatest character actor alive, Stephen Tobolowsky) Directed by Michael Mann and adapted from the 1996 Vanity Fair article "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Marie Brenner, The Insider received rave reviews, wound up on countless year-end top 10 lists, and was nominated for a slew of Oscars, including Mann for directing and screenwriting, but was shut out by the juggernaut that was American Beauty. Since it's widely regarded as one of Mann's best films and one the best films ever made about journalism, we invited investigative journalist Lindsay Beyerstein to tell us how well the movie mirrors real life and to dig into what it's like to watch a movie about CBS News struggling to maintain its integrity as a journalistic entity in the bleak future of 26 years later. Lindsay is on Bluesky @beyerstein

Think film noir is all detectives and femme fatales? Think again. Kristy and Jeff trade daylight for streetlights as they slip into the smoky, shadowy world of Noirvember — a month-long celebration of crime, cynicism, and cinematic style. From doomed lovers to desperate antiheroes, this episode proves that in film noir, everyone's guilty of something. 

This week on Miami Vice: There's a new sheriff in town, and he designs his own t-shirts! Vice deals with a rogue vigilante named Miracle Man (José Pérez in some Michael Mann casting), who is interfering with their busts while a TV reporter comes in with a crew - and also the Commissioner's blessing - to try and grab footage for a reality show about undercover officers. Suprise, surprise, things do not go well! We learn more about Miracle Man's motives to keep the streets of Miami clean, as the news crew led by Eric Terry (Zach Grenier) stoop to new lows in their quest to get the footage they want.

Heat, el machine gun drama de Michael Mann: 30 años Michael Mann es uno de los directores más meticulosos del buen Hollywood y esa dedicación nos ha regalado películas intensas como Heat, quizá su obra más significativa, que en 2025 cumple 30 años. Rebasando por mucho los géneros a los que se ha vinculado esta historia de policías y ladrones, Heat es también mucho más que la famosa escena que reunió a Robert De Niro y Al Pacino por primera vez en la misma película. Es una tragedia  intensa, con olor a pólvora, con traiciones enfrentadas a los códigos tanto de la ley como del crimen. Un retrato de las profundidades del alma humana con sonido de metralletas activas en el centro de la ciudad. Es, para bautizarla nuevamente desde Cinegarage, un machine gun drama en toda regla Para rendirle un merecido homenaje a esta pieza artística que es tanto cine de crimen como un análisis psicológico de todo lo que nos motiva y de los riesgos que tomamos, tan desencantada como gélida e intensa, hacemos este podcast Cinegarage para celebrar sus primeros 30 años. El invitado es Enrique Figueroa Anaya, historiador, analista de cine, fan de Godzilla y amigo de Cinegarage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Science Under Siege": That is both a fact and the name of a new book by two scientists who dissect the current attack on science. From a pandemic to climate change, to vaccine skepticism, to the ascendance of unproven theories, these researchers say we're on an unsustainable path buffeted by political and ideological challenges. We hear Dr. Michael Mann's theories as to why and what to do about it.

We kick off #New-woirvember 2 with an interview with one of the coolest people we have ever met, writer/director Eric Blakeney, who wrote for New World Television's series Crime Story (produced by Michael Mann) as well as the TV movie GENERATION X, the first live-action adaptation of the X-Men from Marvel Comics. Eric takes us through his career, which included stints on the TV series Wiseguy, writing and then running 21 Jump Street, creating the character and spin-off Booker, and writing and directing his own feature, 2000's GUN SHY, starring Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock. In this episode, you'll discover what Stan Lee's favorite drink was, how Michael Man was to work with at the height of his Miami Vice power, how Woody Allen ruined Eric's opportunity to make a film with Val Kilmer, how Johnny Depp was on the set of 21 Jump Street and his rivalry with Richard Grieco, and how Eric ended up working with MAD MAX director George Miller! This interview is truly a ride filled with great stories and humor in the way that only Eric could tell. We can't thank Eric enough for being on the show and sharing his career with us, we know it's an episode you won't want to miss!

Has Bill Gates had a change of heart on climate change? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates explores the tech billionaire's surprising “strategic pivot” — from alarmist rhetoric to emphasizing poverty reduction, innovation, and human welfare. Drawing on Gates' own words and reactions from figures like Michael Mann and The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Legates asks: has Gates truly joined the ranks of climate realists, or is this just a softer shade of alarmism? Tune in for a thoughtful look at shifting narratives and what they mean for the future of the climate debate.Sources: https://www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-topic/reader/three-tough-truths-about-climatehttps://apnews.com/article/bill-gates-climate-change-united-nations-4108f76e746d1e3e13845f33b8ae7007https://thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-cant-reboot-the-planet-if-you-crash-it/https://www.wsj.com/opinion/bill-gates-climate-change-bjorn-lomborg-e3fe6d24Visit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

As anti-science leaves research reeling, does evidence-based policy in a scientific society have much of a future? Michael Mann, Naomi Oreskes, Angie Rasmussen and Deb Houry discuss some of the sources and motivations that perhaps belie the current state of scientific affairs.

On today's show Chris Ryan joins Sean to unpack the year 2025 in horror movies. But first, they hit a handful of movie news headlines, including rumors of a new trailer coming out in December for Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey,' Michael Mann's recent comments about the production of ‘Heat II,' and Eva Victor being cast in Tony Gilroy's ‘Behemoth!' (2:02). They then cover Scott Derrickson's sequel, ‘The Black Phone 2' (starring Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames), which they both found quite disappointing (10:32). Next, they reflect on the current state of horror as a genre and explore why they feel it's in a weird place right now (26:07). Later, Chris and Sean share their favorites of the year (36:16) before Alex Ross Perry joins the show to discuss his contribution to V/H/S/Halloween. Perry talks us through his thought process and points out why finding what he personally finds scary is the most important part (1:02:50). Finally, they have an extensive conversation surrounding horror anthologies, where they identify what defines a good horror anthology and share their personal favorites (1:22:58).

Here, Peter Hotez and Michael Mann name names...It's not too late to do something; it's time to get things done. Read on” (Bill Nye, science educator) From pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether it's the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science. Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez are two of the most respected and well-known scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition. In this powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster. Peter J. Hotez, MD, PhD, is the founding dean of The National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, as well as director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development. He is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine of National Academies as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 162 - Dante Spinotti - Cinematographer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with cinematographer Dante Spinotti (ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, HEAT, THE LEGEND OF THE HOLY DRINKER). During our conversation, Dante reflects on his Italian upbringing and on the formative year he spent shooting photographs in Nairobi, Kenya. Dante has also frequently shot films with director Michael Mann, and he shares a number of stories from their years of working together. While best-known for his work in Hollywood, Dante still found time to shoot films in his native country, and we specifically discuss his experiences working with director Ermanno Olmi on THE LEGEND OF THE HOLY DRINKER. Dante has also survived the Marvel movie machine, and he reflects on the changes in technology and filmmakers' approach to filmmaking that he's witnessed over the course of his career. We also discuss his experiences transitioning to using digital cameras, and we reflect on the value of discipline and preparation—no matter your shooting format. - This episode is sponsored by Sandstorm & Aputure

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report. On today's show: ICE, CBP and other federal agencies continue their assault on Chicago as they recklessly unleash CS gas in front of an elementary school in a busy neighborhood resulting in the hospitalization of at least two children. ICE is gassing everyone in Chicago including the local police officers. Dr. Michale Mann, Climatologist, Geophysicist, Director of Center for Science, Sustainability & the Media at University of Pennsylvania, joins the program to discuss his new book - Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten our World co-authored with Dr. Peter Hotez. In the Fun Half: More coverage of ICE atrocities as they arrest people with no warrant or reason, detain the lawyers that are speaking on behalf of terrorized immigrants and mace young girls at point blank in the face. The only thing that seems to get ICE officers to back off is a person in an inflatable frog suit casting spell.
