That's right, Winter is HERE as we discuss the 2005 Gore Verbinski film "The Weather Man" also starring Michael Caine, which takes place in snowy Chicago. Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss how, even though they enjoy this film, it is plagued with an emptiness, within it's dialogue, themes, and certainly it's main character.

The Mikes are leaving their friends behind to get abducted by aliens in the woods then having a hard time explaining it to the cops as they discuss this week's episode, the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky".
Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss this film based on "true events" starring Robert Patrick, D.B. Sweeney, Peter Berg, and Henry Thomas. The Mikes will talk about how and why the writers of this film chose to alter certain things about the original event for their film, how director Robert Lieberman didn't want to cast D.B. Sweeney so bad, the film almost didn't get made, and how the alien abduction flashback freaked Field out back in the day. The Mikes will also discuss their thoughts and beliefs on the UFO/Alien topic that seems to be heating up.
And this was recorded back in October!

The Mikes are standing up to the corruption of Rome and stepping into the ring with Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, and Pedro Pascal in Gladiator 2.
Ridley Scott is bringing us more ancient roman hijinks almost a quarter of a century after his original best picture nominee which won Russel Crowe an Oscar.

The Mikes are using their years of film special effects knowledge to clear their names of murder, beat up assassins and avoid being arrested by Brian Dennehy. Oh, and then throw all of that away for a bag of money I guess.
Mike Butler and Mike Field are talking about the 1986 action/thriller "F/X" starring Bryan Brown on this week's episode of Forgotten Cinema. Join the Mikes as they try to figure out why they enjoy this film so filled with awful logic, massive plot holes, and an unlikeable lead character. Is it the movie angle? The 80s/90s-ness of it all?

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?!

Join the Mikes as they discuss the 2002 werewolf vs soldiers film Dog Soldiers starring Sean Pertwee and Liam Cunningham directed by Neil Marshall.

The Mikes are waking up the Ancient Ones with Chris Hemsworth on this week's episode of Forgotten Horror VI as they discuss the 2012 (but really 2009) Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard film, The Cabin in the Woods.
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.

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.

Time to say his name three times again as the Mikes discuss Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Jenna Ortega on this "Now Showing" episode of Forgotten Cinema. Full Spoilers Ahead!

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?
