  • Mortal Kombat (1995)
    2019/11/20

    Special guest and YouTuber Russ Lyman join Mike Butler and (reluctantly) Mike Field to the NetherRealm to discuss the 1995 EarthRealm film, Mortal Kombat, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Based on one of the most popular video game franchises of all time.

    In a world replete with terrible video game movies, Mortal Kombat is...one of them. Listen as both Butler and Russ defend its so-bad-its-good parts against Field's hatred of all things this movie. They'll discuss the merits of overacting in a film such as this, the terrible effects, and how the fight sequences could have been improved. Butler will defend the fantastic set pieces and his love of the Goro animatronic, but lament the poor lighting. Field will hate it all. For there is only one thing that all three can agree on...that theme song still frickin' slaps!

    So grab your quarters and joystick, please notice the special moves list on front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! I mean....Forgotten Cinema.

    And be sure to check out, like and subscribe to all of Russ Lyman's awesome videos on YouTube, and catch him on his social media platforms as well!

  • The Two Jakes
    2019/11/27

    "Forget it Mike, its Forgotten Cinema."

    That's right, you guessed it! That cleverly edited famous film quote can only mean that this episode is going to focus on the Jack Nicholson film where he plays Jake Gittes. No, not that Jack Nicholson film where he plays Jake Gittes, the other one. Never heard of it? Well I guess you came to the right place!

    The Mikes discuss the Jack Nicholson directed, Jack Nicholson vehicle, The Two Jakes; the sequel to the cinema classic, Chinatown, released in 1990.

    Listen as Mike Field and Mike Butler attempt to figure out why Nicholson plays Jake as a completely different character type. The Mikes also contemplate how splitting his concentration between acting and directing might have caused Nicholson to make some questionable style choices and if the film would have been better off without relying so much on connecting to Chinatown.

    So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

    Mike Butler and Mike Field throw out some interesting facts about the making of the film, talk about how awkward and uncomfortable scenes in films can only go far before alienating your audience, and gush over the practical effects and the Joe Dante-esque feel of the film.

    So grab your candy cane and hot cocoa, please notice the winter wonderland at the front and rear of the sleigh, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

  • Bolt
    2019/12/11

    The Mikes are going to have a "ruff" time with this one as Forgotten Cinema looks at the 2008 Disney animated film, Bolt, starring John Travolta and Miley Cyrus.

    Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they discuss why this film is for dog lovers. Mike Field lets us know that another up-and-coming young actress had already recorded all of the dialogue for the role of Penny, before Miley came in and before that Bolt was an entirely different film altogether. Also the Mikes do a lot of talking about dogs. Sorry cat people...they all have dog complexes anyway.

    So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
