Heat (1995), Gimme Shelter (1970)

This week on Extra Milestone, I'm joined by returning guest and
fellow cinephile Andrew McMahon to break down an enticing double
feature spanning numerous decades and genres. First up is a
cinematic and musical appetizer in the form of Gimme Shelter, the
iconic Rolling Stones documentary directed by Charlotte Zwerin
and the Maysles Brothers, chronicling the doomed Altamont
Speedway concert outside of San Francisco in December of 1969, a
tragic failure that swiftly signaled the downfall of the
Counterculture Movement. After that, we jump forward to Michael
Mann's Heat, a stylish and captivating crime drama featuring the
first onscreen collaboration between Al Pacino and Robert De
Niro, and which has maintained its legacy as one of the best
films of its kind.


NOTE: Andrew mistakenly refers to the late
Brian Jones as 'Brian Taylor' early in the show due to a
confusion with Mick Taylor, Jones's replacement band member.
