The Mikes are seeing the light and getting real smart with John Travolta as he creeps on Kyra Sedgwick.
Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 1996 film "Phenomenon". This nice PG drama film is one that Butler remembers fondly, but does it hold up? Is Travolta the only choice for the lead role? What inspired this film? And is there anything Robert Duvall is NOT amazing in?!

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how this film dissects and uses classic horror movie tropes against itself in this film as well as how some of the movie's self reference and self-indulgence might have been the very thing that led to it's being forgotten.

It's a psychotic love story! No! It's a courtroom drama! No! It's an intense character study of a man pushed to the edge! NO! IT'S....a musical????
Kinda storta not really.
In reality, Joker: Folie a Deux is just a mess. And Mike Butler and Mike Field are here to break down the movie and discuss what went wrong, how it might have been better handled, and what about the film still kind of works, despite itself.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the awesome set design of this ghost trap disguised as a house and the cool practical ghost make-up and in camera effects while simultaneously taking issue with the dialogue, unclear plot points, and lack of true scares or kills. Nonetheless, Butler still enjoys the late 90's/Early 00's of it all.

It's time to Fear the Darkness as Forgotten Horror VI begins!!!!
Join Mike Field and Mike Butler as they take a look at James Wan's 2001 horror film Malignant. Quite possibly the newest film the Mikes have ever covered on Forgotten Cinema.
Join them as they discuss how Field believes this film harkens back to 90s horror cinema, why such a new film could be forgotten, and how best to extract the souls from the living.
...just kidding about that last part...or was I????

The Mikes are staying home and taking care of the kids with Michael Keaton while they discuss the 1983 film, Mr. Mom, on this episode of Forgotten Cinema.
Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they talk about how this film still largely works even after 40 years. Sure, the stay-at-home dad label isn't as taboo as it once was, but the jokes surrounding taking care of kids, and a house, dealing with juggling family and career is still largely the same. Add to that a fantastic performance by Keaton and the rest of the cast and you've got a real winner. But then why is it forgotten?
Check out the episode, the Mikes will tell you.

Mike Field and Mike Butler have 3 days to steal 50 cars with Nicolas Cage, but they're going wait until the last minute to do it in 1 night! This is Gone in 60 Seconds!!!!
Join the Mikes as they discuss how orange the film is, and why every actor has bleach-blonde hair or frosted tips. They'll also talk about Giovanni Ribisi's character being too all over the place, the uselessness of Angelina Jolie's character, and why despite being (at least on paper) fairly similar, this film didn't have the legs or sequel power that the The Fast and the Furious film did.

The Mikes are joining the Hong Kong police force and teaming up with a loose cannon detective and a too-deep-undercover cop to defeat the Triads in an epic shootout involving long single takes, lots of squibs, and newborn babies. This is John Woo's Hard Boiled.
Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss what makes these action sequences so great and how this film can both be a staple action film, help launch Woo's US film career, and equally not get noticed by larger audiences, especially today in our (purist) action genre drought.

Whoa. The Mikes are joining forces with Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, and Rachel Weisz to tackle the energy crisis only to be hunted down by the US government trying to suppress it...typical.
Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 1996 film Chain Reaction. Both Field and Butler enjoyed this film back in the day, but do they now? From a troubled production with no script and a story-line that isn't what Reeves signed up for, this film had a lot of behind the scenes issues that are clearly up on the screen. Should you go back and watch it, or does Chain Reaction belong stuck in the 90's?

The Mikes are writing their way into a soap opera with the help of John Candy and a magic typewriter as they take a look at the 1991 film Delirious.
Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they discuss a comedy that has some funny moments, but doesn't really work. Especially when you don't clearly establish the rules in the fantasy world that they create here.
Nevertheless, Field believes that this film has good bones and could be remade with the right talent behind it.

The Mikes are going back in time 8 minutes to help Jake Gyllenhaal stop a bomb from going off in Chicago.
That's right Mike Field and Mike Butler are talking the 2011 Duncan Jones film, Source Code, also starring Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffery Wright.
Does the high concept sci-fi in this film jive with Field, or does it leave him quantum entangled in confusion and a preference for a more Scott Bakula-style leaping?

The Mikes are heading down to Nassau, Bahamas to hang out with Woody Harrelson, steal a diamond, watch some sunsets and also watch Pierce Brosnan and Selma Hayek make out...a lot.
That's right, Mike Butler and Mike Field are talking about After the Sunset! This big nothing burger (Field's words) was directed by Bret Ratner and basically plays out like an add for Atlantis Resort.
While Butler enjoys the "lighter fare" that the film serves up, Field is having none of it. Some people just can't be satisfied, am I right? Like Brosnan's thief in this heist film!
