For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann. With a wide variety of films and a meticulous style that has attempted to be replicated but has never been duplicated, Mann presents quite a set of films to look at. In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.

It's here. After almost three months of build-up, we have finally reached the end of our Michael Mann Retrospective with 2015's Black Hat. No, not a movie based the Edgar Allan Poe story. This one is about Thor Chris Hemswoth playing a brilliant hacker. In other words, a movie just as believable.

Join myself, Matt, and Mike as we review the movie that didn't have many good reviews when it came out but amazingly ended up on some Best of 2015 lists. We also rate each movie we have reviewed in order of our least to most favorite, as well as finally answer the question of why Mike hates Chris Hemsworth so much.

Thanks again to my podcast partners for the amazing ride this retrospective was, as well as you all for listening. Stay tuned, more retros are right around the corner!

"A man must have a code."  - Bunk

On this week's episode, The Wire, the detail turns its attention to Bird, a Barksdale soldier suspected of killing the eyeball witness William Gant in episode one.  In an attempt to get revenge on the Barksdale crew, Omar gives McNulty and Bunk a tip that Bird was involved in said murder.  Orlando, his hair and bolo tie, get up with D'Angelo about selling their own package, which is against the rules.

Every Thursday BingeMedia.net drops a new commentary of The Wire.  This week we hit season 1 episode 7 "One Arrest".

For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann.

In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.

Leaving the ego of Jamie Foxx far behind, Michael Mann returned to the big screen in 2009 with a film detailing the bank robberies of John Dillinger called Public Enemies. Now, he had the star power of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, along with Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, at his side, and as a result gathered a $200 million hit. But is it any good?

Listen as myself, Mike, and Matt go down the final home stretch of Michael Mann's career with the first of two podcasts this week. And be sure to sit through the bloopers as well, as Matt makes a dare that all Bingers should ensure he follows up on. Also, don't forget to join us on Friday when our long awaited review of the film starring Mr Chris Hemsworth entitled Black Hat gets posted!
