ONE HEAT MINUTE is the podcast examining Michael Mann’s 1995 crime opus HEAT minute by minute. In this bonus episode of ONE HEAT MINUTE we bring back the original three guests of the show - Luke Buckmaster, Garth Franklin and Stu Coote - to discuss the minutes they’d wished they’d been able to talk about. We discuss Captain Hydration, the ever-present hazards of walking your doggie, and the sit down at Kate Mantilini’s for a second helping of the centrepiece scene of the film (in its entirety).

He is currently writer and film critic for The Guardian Australia, writer and film critic for Daily Review and a contributor to publications such as BBC online and the website of the Australian Centre of the Moving Image (ACMI). Luke has contributed to a wide range of other publications including VICE, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Senses of Cinema, Arts Hub, Screen Hub, Filmink and The Big Issue. Luke has lectured about cinema for LaTrobe University and in 2010 won an Australian Film Critics Association writing award for his review of I’m Still Here. In 2014 and 2015 he presented digital literacy workshops on the topic of film and TV in social media for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
