Michael Mann is has the quintessence to impress every film fan, especially the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network. The work of the 81-year-old Chicago native appeared on last week’s episode with 2015’s Blackhat. Along for that ride were the team of Paul Keelan and Jordan Puga of the Cinematic Underdogs podcast. They and Mann return again for another episode. This time, the machine is colder, sleeker, and far more Italian.

This time, they fast forward to Mann’s return to cinema with this past year’s Oscar contender Ferrari starring Adam Driver and the sensational Penelope Cruz.
