Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.℗ & © 2024 Forgotten Cinema Art

    Oct 9 2019

    Forgotten Horror continues as the Mikes ignore all of Sam Jacksons warnings and check themselves into the 2007 film, 1408, starring John Cusack and one evil "freaking" room.

    The Mikes discuss the use of lighting and sets to bring the film to life and Field throws out some fun hidden easter eggs in the movie. Butler talks about how the ending to the director's cut version of the film alters its theme and perhaps ruins the development and journey of its one and only protagonist.

    So grab your silver bullets and wooden stakes, please notice the zombies blocking the front and rear of the auditorium, and strap in for Forgotten Horror.

    Welcome to the third entry of this year’s Forgotten Horror, where the Mikes tackle the scariest type of film there is…a kids’ film!!!

They’ll go over the role of adults within this film, the unique use of motion capture, and discuss the change in parents’ attitude toward presenting children with content they might find scary.

    Listeners beware!!! The scariest thing in this podcast will be the amount of wisdom Mike Field attempts to extoll upon you!!!
