One HEAT Minute: Episode #62 - Laurence Barber

Uncategorized
Written By Blake Howard

It's the 62nd minute of ONE HEAT MINUTE, the podcast examining Michael Mann's 1995 crime opus HEAT minute by minute (1:01:00-1:02:00).  Host Blake Howard is joined by AFCA Award-winning critic, a writer for the Star Observer, film critic on ABC Radio Sydney and Graffiti with Punctuation alumni Laurence Barber. Blake and Laurence discuss the potential of a podcast about "My Cousin Rachel" through the lens of Laurence and Mat Whitehead's "diseased brains," the surprisingly moving and convention-challenging minute, and the yearning to be "that" cop who addresses the grief of those people affected by the crimes he investigates.
