That being said, there are people who just cannot STFU about Heat and I've seen literally podcasts discussing Heat and I cannot deal with this.

It wasn't that good of a movie from the start, why are we having a podcast about it 30 years later and treating this seriously?

Heat is, true to its name, a lot of wasted potential. Two fantastic actors whose entire performance boils down to one choppy diner scene that can be summed up as:

"If you're thinking of stealing stuff, don't."

"Well... I'm gonna."

I've seen more interesting situations with drying paint.

And I'm being as polite as I can be here.

There are test movies -- movies you use to test your friends or loved ones.

I use Pulp Fiction (1994) and Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) as two good examples of films that aren't for everybody. If I recommend one of these, I'm testing you. It's not a test of your intelligence or wit or character.

I just want to know if we can vibe about movies together. If you love these movies, we're probably gonna be cool with each other.

Hope you like non-chronological storytelling, because I sure as shit do.

Training Day is a good movie. I wouldn't call it great, I wouldn't say it's epic. Solid acting, good story, keeps you engaged.

That's more than I can say for Heat.

None of them are movies that I own, and I certainly don't keep a physical copy around to share with special people who I've decided to test or bless or whatever tf you call it when you subject a friend to two hours of whatever your specific fetish is.
