The HEAT is on!

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas return to Los Angeles for another round of bank heists and get caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where a loose cannon cop will stop at nothing to catch his criminal; and a serial killer gets tossed into the mix to make things interesting.

It's the final episode of our crime wave portion of our BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW arc, and we are diving into one of the biggest, baddest, and most stylish crime epics of all-time, with Michael Mann's 1995 epic, HEAT, starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Val Kilmer.

The film is the stuff of legend; mostly recognised as the first film to have Pacino and De Niro share a scene together – with some people believing this meet didn't actually happen, and that Mann used tricks to make it seem like the two legendary actors were on the screen at the same time. Join us, as we dive into these conspiracies, talk the real life origins of this epic, explore the first attempts at Mann getting it made, and break down all the shoot-outs, Pacino's crazy acting, the fashion, Val Kilmer's elbow, the incredible music, the disgusting Waingro, and so much more!

It's a mamma jamma, so strap yourself in, and remember...

"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."
