It's the 58th minute of ONE HEAT MINUTE, the podcast examining Michael Mann's 1995 crime opus HEAT minute by minute (57:00-58:00).  Host Blake Howard is joined by veteran journalist, former ABC radio producer and one time foreign correspondent Daniel Ziffer. Blake and Dan discuss that thanks to his suggestion, his elderly grandparents saw HEAT in a theatre and talked about it for the rest of their lives; how he's coming onto the show in (arguably) the most disturbing moment of the film; and finally heaps praise upon the criminally underappreciated Kevin Gage.
