One Heat Minute Productions THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS: Episode 4: Bilge Ebiri (Writer/Editor New York Magazine ) and Cameron Williams (Freelance Film and T.V Critic)
About the episode:
Part One: World-renowned film critic and writer/editor for New York Magazine Bilge Ebiri reunite to talk about the fact that The Last of the Mohicans is the Star Wars of colonial history movies.
Part Two: Prolific Australian film and T.V critic Cam Williams and I take a wander down nostalgia lane to talk about discovering Mohicans in Australia circa. 1993, before formally apologising to any Mann fans who’ve begun to embark on a minute by minute Mohicans examination for stealing their thunder.
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.” The film features an Award-winning Academy 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 Mohicans is 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 a British Colonel and a 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.
