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.
