THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS: Episode 7: Brendan Hodges (On Hiatus Film Critic for Metaplex/RogerEbert.com) and Jedidiah Ayers (Author of Fierce Bitches and Peckerwood)

First up in this two-part episode, I join film critic on sabbatical with bylines at *Roger Ebert dot com* and the *Metaplex* Brendan Hodges. Brendan and I wrestle with *Mohicans* impact and resonance and talk about how the rug is pulled out from us when we're expecting a Hawkeye versus Magua face-off. To close the episode, I join the author of *Fierce Bitches* , *Peckerwood* and curator of noir literature film and culture blog - *Hardboiled Wonderland* - Jedidiah Ayres. Jed and I discuss the many iterations of *Mohicans* through the ages and reconvene for an emergency chat about Russell Means' electrifying account of his experience behind the scenes. *Further reading:* *CHAT WITH CHINGACHGOOK: THE RUSSELL MEANS INTERVIEW* ( http://www.mohicanpress.com/mo06009.html ) *ABOUT JEDIDIAH AYRES* JEDIDIAH AYRES IS THE AUTHOR OF ( https://www.amazon.com.au/Peckerwood-Jedidiah-Ayres-ebook/dp/B00HGLBQDG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1545951748&sr=8-5&keywords=peckerwood+book ) FIERCE BITCHES, PECKERWOOD.

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 show examines the cross-section of political apparatuses, colonial superpower wrangling, and Mr Mann's riff on the "great American hero." The final episode - once again will feature Mr Mann to unpack his intentions with the film in the conception and orchestration of its grand ending.
