Description

Michael Mann walks the blurry lines between homage, imitation, and theft as he attempts to tell the stories of Muhammed Ali, Malcolm X, the 1960s, and the Cold War geopolitical order in a single sprawling biopic. Join as Rob and <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alex_navarro" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alex Navarro</a> take the movie to ten rounds discussing just how much Mann borrowed from Spike Lee's <em>Malcolm X </em>and the documentary <em>When We Were Kings, </em>and to what degree he ends up directing poor stealth-remakes of both.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
