Heat (1995)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris plan to take down some scores and discuss 1995's Heat, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.Based on his earlier TV movie L.A. Takedown, Michael Mann's Heat is a crime/heist classic that has inspired countless films and video games since.  Robert De Niro plays criminal Neil McCauley, who leads a group of professional thieves taking down scores in Los Angeles.  At the same time, Al Pacino plays Detective Vincent Hanna, the cop pursuing Neil and his gang.  Both men are focused on their chosen profession at the expense of everything else, including their personal relationships, and a face-off between them is inevitable.  Zach and Chris discuss why Neil would allow a psycho like Waingro (Kevin Gage) on his crew, the cast full of recognizable faces, Pacino outbursts, the epic bank shootout, and more.You can watch Heat on Paramount+.  Next week, Zach and Chris are closing out 2025 by running down their favorite and least favorite movies of the year.We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to [email protected].  Also, let us know your suggestions for movies for us to discuss.Please subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.  You can also find the podcast on YouTube.Check us out on Twitter (@evaction), Facebook (www.facebook.com/everything.action), and Instagram (@everything.action).
