Heat - Ep. 43

Heat... because there is no other way.

Got it?

I'm kidding. I was coming in 'hot' so to speak.

So, in the late 1600's when the Earth was discovered and then settled- moviemaking began. It was tedious at first and many lost their lives and later some lost their lunch.

But... it was on one of those tumultuous evenings after several fatal pratfalls and lethal plot devices, casting was discovered.

Soon re-casting became the main game in town.

Well, one of them.

Then what seemed like eons but was actually about 15 minutes later

the first podcast was invented. Long before radio, TV or even fire was discovered.

Today's modern world may laugh surreptitously at a world without podcasts or Pokémon.

And ponder at what exactly the word surreptitiously means.

And to this day, no one really knows.

And then one day...

Re-casting just happened.

And God said "Yes"

Leigh and Kriss talk a lot this week.

And at some point, during all the talking, as if by magic, their re-casting of the movie Heat is discussed.

Only a very select few have the rare talent or gift to do what these

two guys can do.

Michael Mann directed it.

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro acted in it.

Chrisp and Leek re-casted it.

This movie is about two gun crazy fools. Both are from opposite sides of the law but very much in love with, guns, hanging out with groups of guys that get killed and ultimately they fall in love with each other AND their very different powerhouse styles of American acting.
