Episode 8: Jordan Harper (Award-winning novelist and screenwriter) and Stu Coote (Co-Host The Sinner Files Podcast)
About the episode:
First up, in this two-part episode, I join Edgar Award-winning author of She Rides Shotgun and Love and Other Wounds Writer for Hightown and Dune: The Sisterhood Jordan Harper. Jordan and I talk through alarming realisations that film is the superior medium to film, and Magua's divine weapon presentation.
To close the episode, I join One Heat Minute all-star crew member and co-host of The Sinner Files podcast Stu Coote. Stu and I discuss Hawkeye as Michael Mann's Captain America and ask the internet to produce a "deep fake" replacing Nathaniel Poe with Con Air's Cameron Poe.
About the show:
THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS is a twelve-episode limited podcast series focusing on the climax of the Michael Mann’s 1992 epic The Last of the Mohicans. The format of the podcast, which slightly differs from ONE HEAT MINUTE, utilises the entire final twelve-minute climax of Mohicans as a portal to explore the themes of the movie, the cross-section of political apparatuses, colonial superpower wrangling, and Mr Mann’s riff on the “great American hero.” With an Academy Award-winning score from Randy Edelman and Trevor Jones, iconic performances, stunning cinematography from Dante Spinotti, a relentlessly paced script from Mann and co-writer Christopher Crowe and masterful orchestration from Mann; the film’s extended finale - triggered by the delivery of tribal justice until the credits roll - is arguably one of the greatest endings to almost any movie ever.
About the movie:
The Last of the Mohicansis adapted (and significantly altered from) James Fenimore Cooper novel, set in 1757, Mohicans follows three trappers who are inadvertently drawn into the French and Indian War when they rescue the daughters of British Colonel and their British Captain escort from an ambush. It stars Academy Award Winner Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Academy Award Winner* Wes Studi, Russell Means, Eric Schweig, Jodhi May and Steven Waddington.
