  • 1.8 - Hudson Hawk
    Jun 19 2019

    The Mikes go head to head discussing the 1991 Bruce Willis action/comedy, Hudson Hawk; a film each Mike holds a very differing opinion of.

    Join Michael Butler as he discusses the failings of this critically panned mess of a film; one that goes either too far, or never goes far enough with it's zaniness.

    OR

    Join Michael Field as he defends the film's lightheartedness, witty dialogue, and breezy runtime against those who can't seem to just appreciate the film for what it is: a hidden gem, a cult classic, a piece of...Forgotten Cinema (see what we did there?).

    Jun 26 2019

    The Mikes travel back to 1983 to revisit the Michael Douglas thriller The Star Chamber.

    Join Mike Field and Mike Butler, as they discuss aspect ratios, theme over story, and the dreaded third act issues that seem to plague so many films no matter how good or well made they may be.

  • 1.10 - The A-Team
    Jul 10 2019

    They love it when a podcast comes together!!!

    In 2019, a crack podcast unit was sent to the microphone for a forgotten film they didn't cover. These men promptly viewed the film and discussed it. Today, still lovers of forgotten films, they survive as podcasters and cinephiles. If you have a film that deserves to be brought back into the spotlight, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...Forgotten Cinema!

    ...The A-Team. Obviously the Mikes are discussing the 2010 film, The A-Team.

    Jul 17 2019

    On this episode of Forgotten Cinema the Mike's discuss the 2007 Disney animated feature Meet the Robinsons.

The Mikes discuss why the strong message of film helps to carry the film through most of its problems and dive deep into "the Goob."

    Also one of Butler's darkest secrets is revealed!
