   Mannhunting - LA Takedown

   The Manniacs are back at it again, Rob, Alex Navarro, and Dia Lacina drill into Michael Mann's LA Takedown, what ends up basically being a rough draft of his magnum opus Heat, emphasis on the rough. It’s surprising what a bigger budget and big name actors can do with what in some places is essentially the same script! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   Waypoint 101 - Sid Meier's Gettysburg!

   Rob takes Ren, Patrick, and Cado on a journey to a different era: the late 90's. The crew has been playing Sid Meiier's Gettysburg! , a seminal strategy game that seems to be all but completely forgotten in the history of the genre. We discuss its context in the 90's Civil War pop culture boom, some of its strengths and weaknesses in UI design, and its massive manual which attempted to give context to the different playable scenarios and how they played out in history. We touch on simulation and history, and the particularity with which media depicting the Civil War requires to not fall into…

   WPNMP - The Matrix Resurrections

   It’s time to jack back in one last time. Gita Jackson is back alongside Rob, Patrick, and Cado to talk about The Matrix Resurrections, the latest movie in the Matrix franchise, and one who’s own inception is scrutinized within this film. While Gita, Patrick, and Cado left their initial viewings having enjoyed the film, Rob was ultimately left cold.

   Mannhunting - Miami Vice

   Rob, Alex, and Dia are back at it again in the Manniverse! Join them as they dive into the world of Miami Vice, the hit TV show that often gets attributed to Mann despite the fact that he’s only the Producer for the show. Still, the show has some classic Mann-erisms with some killer soundtrack moments, men losing themselves in their jobs, and ridiculous premises that boarder on Saw -like near the end of the show’s run.
