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.

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 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.
