Michael Mann Reconsidered: Ferrari and Manhunter

from The Pop Culture Professors · host Stephen Dyson and Jeff Dudas

It’s the Pop Culture Professors, and in this show we start a series on the films of Michael Mann. Structured as a knock-out tournament, we set his eight most highly regarded movies single-elimination competition. Today, we consider Ferrari (2023) and Manhunter (1986). We ask what makes a Michael Mann movie distinctive, and what themes and ideas seem to capture his attention and bring out his best work. Learn more about your ad choices.
