For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann. With a wide variety of films and a meticulous style that has attempted to be replicated but has never been duplicated, Mann presents quite a set of films to look at. In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.
Leaving the ego of Jamie Foxx far behind, Michael Mann returned to the big screen in 2009 with a film detailing the bank robberies of John Dillinger called Public Enemies. Now, he had the star power of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, along with Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, at his side, and as a result gathered a $200 million hit. But is it any good?
Listen as myself, Mike, and Matt go down the final home stretch of Michael Mann’s career with the first of two podcasts this week. And be sure to sit through the bloopers as well, as Matt makes a dare that all Bingers should ensure he follows up on. Also, don’t forget to join us on Friday when our long awaited review of the film starring Mr Chris Hemsworth entitled Black Hat gets posted!
