FORMERLY: PLAYBACK PODCAST TWITTER: @KRISTAPLEY About the show: THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS is a twelve episode limited podcast series focusing on the climax of the Michael Mann's 1992 epic The Last of the Mohicans. 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 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.
