Nearly 30 years later, Michael Mann's 'Heat' remains a cinematic titan. Join us as we dissect this sprawling crime epic, exploring the iconic performances of Pacino and De Niro, the film's meticulous craftsmanship, and its enduring influence on the genre. Did 'Heat' stand the test of time, or has its legacy become more myth than reality? We delve into the film's lasting impact, its thematic depth, and whether it still resonates with audiences today. Val Kilmer, Diane Venora, and Tom Sizemore also star. 

This episode of the ​⁠@ohbpodcast was recorded prior to the public announcement of Val Kilmer’s passing.
