    Episode 2: Heat, Heist Films and Why the Action IS The Juice

    This week, Mandy and Rob are joined by friend and fellow film lover Chris White to take a deep dive into the classic 1995 Michael Mann crime drama, Heat. The gang discusses what makes this particular film transcendent, what makes a great heist film work, casting, other favorites of the era and--as always--there are plenty of non-sequiturs. We've also got our TOTC Picks of the Week including a couple classic 90s albums and a movie that we're into at the moment starring Halle Berry, Vivica A. Fox and...Little Richard?
