In this special bonus episode of THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS, Roxana Hadadi and I discuss the collective rediscovery of this masterpiece, agreeing with BenDavid Grabinski's assertion that perhaps we should have stopped making movies after this one, our new merch thanks to Jordan Harper and the huge hypothetical - would you have preferred DDL as Dracula for Francis Ford Coppola?

In the finale of The Last (12 minutes) of the Mohicans, I join the auteur behind this masterwork - Michael Mann. Mr Mann and I talk about existence on the planet Earth, the criticality of Wes Studi's performance for the success of this drama, the singularity of Daniel Day-Lewis as a performer, the twilight zone of the frontier and so much more.
