The final crescendo of the incredibly extensive, yet limited, series is none other than the legendary mastermind director, screenwriter and producer of HEAT, Michael Mann.

ONE HEAT MINUTE is the podcast examining Michael Mann’s 1995 crime opus HEAT minute by minute. In this bonus episode of ONE HEAT MINUTE, introduced by my daughter Hazel, I talk to a guest who refused to be on the show until we secured Michael Mann, Samantha Howard.

It’s the 165th minute (2:44:00 - 2:45:00) - host Blake Howard joins staff writer Bright Wall/ Dark Room, contributor for Cinephilia & Beyond and writer about town Travis Woods.

Blake and Travis go back to nature as it were and unpack this singular ending from a singular filmmaker.

Travis Woods lives and writes in Los Angeles. He is a staff writer for Bright Wall/ Dark Room, contributor for Cinephilia & Beyond, and has been published in The Los Angeles Times, Paste Magazine, ScreenCrave, Rupert Pupkin Speaks, and others.
