Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy the film, and it is easy to see why it earned the audience vote. While it may not hit quite the same heights as that first IMAX 3D experience, "Gravity" still holds up as an intense and visually stunning survival story.

Sandra Bullock carries the film almost entirely on her own, delivering a performance that keeps the tension grounded and the stakes personal. George Clooney adds a memorable and charismatic presence that helps balance the film’s more intense moments.

The Mikes do have a couple of small nitpicks. Butler feels the film loses a bit of momentum toward the end of the second act, and Field is not a big fan of the repeated space station problem Bullock’s character has to face. Still, these are minor issues in an otherwise gripping and well-crafted film.

Tense, immersive, and technically impressive, "Gravity" remains a standout survival story and a deserving Audience Choice selection.

The Mikes (especially Butler) will discuss how much they love the film. Butler uses the word phenomenal a lot. They will though, talk about some issues they had with the film, regarding the hero's journey story being told and how a twist at the very end should maybe have happened a tad earlier in the film.

Overall though, this is an excellent film, and the Mikes recommend everyone who wants to see an uplifting film that celebrates friendship and science go see "Project Hail Mary" in theaters!

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field thoroughly enjoy this one. The cast is firing on all cylinders, with Kevin Kline and Sally Field delivering especially standout performances. The film is sharp, funny, and constantly entertaining, embracing the absurdity of soap operas while still celebrating what made them such a huge cultural force at the time.

That said, the movie’s biggest strength may also be its biggest hurdle for modern audiences. Soap operas are no longer the dominant force they once were on American televisions, which may make some of the satire feel a bit dated. Even so, the humor, performances, and meta storytelling still land.

By building a soap opera within the making of a soap opera, "Soapdish" creates a layered, self-aware comedy that remains a great time from start to finish.

Mike Butler remembers enjoying this film the first time around, and on rewatch there is still a lot to like. The dual protagonist structure, where each man also serves as the other’s antagonist, creates an interesting dynamic. Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck both deliver strong performances, bringing intensity and humanity to characters pushed to their limits.

Mike Field also appreciates the performances and the decision to treat this concept as a grounded drama rather than a more conventional action thriller. However, he finds the dual main character setup distracting, making it harder to fully invest in either character’s journey.

Both Mikes agree the film is not without its flaws. There are noticeable contrivances, and the resolution leans a bit too conveniently toward a tidy ending. Butler also feels Affleck’s character could have used more development, particularly in showing what drives him toward the darker choices he begins to make.

Even with those issues, "Changing Lanes" remains a compelling and thoughtful early-2000s drama, anchored by strong performances and a premise that still resonates.

Mike Butler comes away disappointed. While he believes the movie is phenomenally acted, beautifully designed, and impressively directed, the script simply does not work for him. The story feels unfocused, struggling to decide what it wants to be or what it wants to say. As Gyllenhaal’s first big-budget film, it is a strong showcase for her talents behind the camera, but Butler feels the screenplay ultimately lets the entire project down.

That said, there is still a lot to admire. Jessie Buckley delivers an incredible performance as the Bride, Christian Bale is fantastic as “Frank,” and the film closes with the best end credit song in recent memory.

Mike Field had a similar reaction walking out of the theater, but after sitting with it for a day he found himself warming up to the film. Not because he disagrees with the criticisms of the script, but because he appreciates how different the movie is from most modern blockbuster fare. That leads to the bigger question the Mikes explore in this episode. Is being different enough to make a film good?

Ambitious, strange, and deeply divisive, "The Bride" is a film that sparks a lot of discussion even if it does not fully come together.

Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one; with Butler describing it best as spider "Jaws". The film builds tension around an invasion of deadly spiders while following Jeff Daniels as a small-town doctor who must stop them despite being deeply afraid of spiders himself. Daniels brings a relatable everyman quality to the role that helps ground the story, while John Goodman steals plenty of scenes as the eccentric exterminator brought in to deal with the growing infestation.

The movie is also a showcase for great character actors. Instead of relying on huge personalities or scene stealing performances, the film fills its world with memorable supporting characters who feel like real people and deliver plenty of great lines along the way.

Balancing laughs and thrills without becoming overly bombastic, "Arachnophobia" keeps things relatively grounded while still delivering plenty of creepy moments. It is a smart, fun creature feature that proves you do not need giant monsters to make an audience squirm.

This week on Forgotten Cinema: Now Showing, the Mikes finally arrive at "Scream 7", the final destination after their long Scream Lead Up series.

Unlike many critics, Mike Butler and Mike Field had a great time with this entry. Is it the best Scream film? No. Is it the worst? Also no. And as the Mikes point out, even the weakest Scream is still leagues above most other slashers and basic horror films.

Sidney Prescott remains a strong anchor for the franchise, and the film delivers with some very effective kills. The Mikes also dig into some of the film’s bigger talking points, including the return of Stu, whether audiences can fully buy Joel McHale as a serious action presence after his long comedy career, and how the killer reveal works within the story.

With the new installment now in the books, Butler and Field also update their full franchise rankings after completing their journey through every Scream film leading up to this release. For anyone jumping in with this episode, the Mikes encourage you to go back and check out the full Lead Up series as they revisited the entire franchise step by step.

After all the blood, meta commentary, and Ghostface mayhem, the question remains. Where does "Scream 7" truly land in the legacy of the series?

Thank you for joining the Mikes through each film in the "Scream" saga!

Despite its reputation, both Mike Butler and Mike Field come away less than impressed. The biggest issue lies with Damon’s character, Mike, who spends the entire film acting like a degenerate gambler fueled by bluster and misplaced bravado. Time and again he makes terrible decisions, particularly when it comes to helping his unreliable friend Worm, played effectively by Edward Norton. Their relationship never quite makes sense, and the film asks the audience to invest in choices that feel increasingly frustrating.

The movie also leans heavily on poker terminology and insider lingo, often assuming the audience understands the details of the game. Instead of pulling viewers deeper into the world of high-stakes poker, it creates distance from the central premise.

By the time the story wraps up, Mike’s journey feels hollow. His reckless behavior ultimately leads to a lucky break rather than meaningful growth, leaving the Mikes with little to latch onto emotionally or thematically.

While "Rounders" has its fans, this rewatch leaves Butler and Field wondering if the film’s cult status has more to do with the poker boom that followed than the strength of the movie itself.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field still like this entry, but it stands as the weakest of the franchise so far in their rankings. A big part of that comes from the absence of Sidney Prescott and the somewhat awkward shoehorning of Gale into the story. The film also lacks the sharp meta commentary that defines the series, and the villain reveal and finale lean heavily into goofiness rather than tension.

That said, "Scream VI" is still a good time. The kills are strong, the set pieces are memorable, and several sequences stand out, including the Gale versus Ghostface showdown and the tense Halloween subway ride. Melissa Barrera continues to grow into the role of Sam, delivering one of the stronger performances of the new era.

With the Lead Up complete, the Mikes also rank the franchise so far and reflect on where the series stands heading into its next chapter. Even if "Scream VI" doesn't reach the heights of its predecessors, it proves the franchise still knows how to entertain.

So join the Mikes as the go through each film in the "Scream" saga leading up to the release of "Scream 7".

📺 About the Show

Last Four is a weekly (or close enough!) series here on the Forgotten Cinema channel where Mike Field walks through the four most recent movies he's seen — new releases, classics, rewatches, hidden gems, and everything in between — with a bit of insight, a bit of humor, and zero rankings.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. The performances are firing on all cylinders, with the legendary James Caan bringing gravitas and menace to every scene he’s in. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe anchor the film as two genuinely bad men, not misunderstood antiheroes, but criminals who are unapologetically who they are. That commitment to morally compromised characters gives the film a harder edge than most crime thrillers of its era.

McQuarrie’s first outing behind the camera shows remarkable confidence, with tight dialogue, grounded action, and characters who always feel true to themselves. Butler suspects younger him would have absolutely loved this film, while Field appreciates it even more now, finding its maturity and restraint more compelling with age.

Dark, deliberate, and unapologetically adult, "The Way of the Gun" stands as one of the stronger crime films of the early 2000s and a reminder of how effective simple, character-focused storytelling can be.

As the first entry in the franchise not directed by Wes Craven, this chapter is in the hands of Radio Silence, and both Mike Butler and Mike Field think they do a strong job carrying the torch. The film delivers solid kills, balances legacy characters with a new generation effectively, and even manages to handle the death of a major returning character with respect and emotional weight.

The connection to the original film is well woven into the story, grounding the new cast in the mythology without feeling entirely forced. That said, the Mikes do have a few issues; the Billy Loomis twist is a bit hard to swallow, and some of the logic behind Ghostface’s kills does not quite hold up under scrutiny.

Even with those criticisms, "Scream 5" stands as a confident and entertaining revival of the franchise, proving that the series can survive beyond its original creator. As the penultimate episode in the Scream Lead Up series, it sets the stage nicely for one final stop before "Scream 7".

So join the Mikes as the go through each film in the "Scream" saga leading up to the release of "Scream 7".

Mike Butler absolutely loves this film. Growing up a Beatles fan, he not only enjoys hearing the music reintroduced in a new context, but also seeing the impact those songs would have even if the world had somehow forgotten the band. Himesh Patel delivers a strong lead performance, bringing both sincerity and vocal talent to the role, while Lily James shines as his longtime friend and love interest. Their chemistry carries the emotional heart of the film, even if both Butler and Mike Field agree it is a bit frustrating that Patel’s character cannot see what is so clearly in front of him.

Kate McKinnon also stands out as his sharp-edged manager once fame starts to take hold, adding a fun industry satire layer to the story.

One thing both Butler and Field appreciate is that the unexplained “magic” behind The Beatles never existing is never overexplained or undone. The film simply accepts it as reality and focuses instead on themes of art, authenticity, love, and what it means to be an artist in a world obsessed with fame.

With timeless music, a sweet love story, and relatable creative themes, "Yesterday" is a charming and heartfelt watch that will likely have you queuing up The Beatles long after the credits roll.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field still enjoy this entry, especially for its strong kills and surprisingly ahead-of-its-time themes about streaming culture, internet fame, and the performance of violence for an audience. The film feels eerily prescient in how it tackles social media obsession before it completely took over the world.

That said, there is a lot of unmined potential here. Butler feels the third act drops the ball slightly with a convenient ending and not doing quite enough with the Ghostface killers in the final stretch. Both Mikes also agree that Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby could have been positioned as the new Final Girl. With her horror movie expertise and charisma, she could have served as a fascinating long-term foil to Ghostface.

The Mikes also dig into the long-standing rumor that "Scream 4" was intended to launch a new trilogy centered on a killer who gets away with it, only to be hunted by new Ghostfaces in future installments. It is an intriguing idea that makes the existing ending feel like a missed opportunity.

Still sharp, still brutal, and more relevant than ever, "Scream 4" stands as a bold attempt to reinvent the franchise, even if it stops just short of fully committing to its most interesting ideas.

So join the Mikes as the go through each film in the "Scream" saga leading up to the release of "Scream 7".

Mike Field has long had a soft spot for this one, while Mike Butler watched it for the first time. Both thoroughly enjoy the film. Even though it opens with the sudden death of Duchovny’s wife and the emotional setup of a heart transplant, the movie manages to stay surprisingly upbeat, cheerful, and warm throughout.

The ensemble cast is a huge part of what makes it work. Jim Belushi and Bonnie Hunt shine as Minnie Driver’s sister and brother-in-law, bringing humor and heart to nearly every scene they are in. Robert Loggia and Carroll O’Connor also add a comforting, lived-in charm that elevates the entire film. The movie captures that late 90s and early 2000s romantic comedy magic in the best way.

Sweet, sincere, and genuinely charming, "Return to Me" is the kind of rom-com that reminds you why the genre used to feel so effortless and heartfelt.

Coming off "Scream 2", the highest-reviewed film in the series, "Scream 3" holds the unfortunate distinction of being the worst reviewed. Mike Field still enjoys the movie, but it is his least favorite of the franchise so far. His biggest issue comes down to the killer reveal, which he finds underwhelming, especially when you factor in the original script, the late production change to a single killer, and the moments where you can clearly tell the film was staged for two Ghostfaces.

Mike Butler also enjoys the film, especially the Gale & Dewey relationship, but shares some of those frustrations. He would have preferred the climax to stay within the Hollywood studio setting that the movie spends so much time establishing, rather than shifting to a Scooby-Doo-style mansion. He also argues that Patrick Dempsey being revealed as the killer and Sidney’s half-brother would have made far more sense both narratively and thematically.

Despite its flaws, "Scream 3" is still a fun watch. The kills are inventive, the meta elements continue to evolve, and Parker Posey is a standout as the actress portraying Gale Weathers in the Stab films within the film. It may be messy and compromised, but it still understands the spirit of the franchise and delivers plenty to enjoy.

So join the Mikes as the go through each film in the "Scream" saga leading up to the release of "Scream 7".

Mike Butler absolutely loved this rewatch. From its themes and character arcs to the kills and the eventual villain reveals, he feels "Scream 2" sharpens nearly every idea introduced in the first film. The movie leans harder into its meta commentary, expands its cast in meaningful ways, and raises the stakes without losing what made the original work.

Mike Field also enjoys the film quite a bit, though he does feel the runtime runs a little long. Even so, both Mikes agree that the performances, the escalation of the story, and the confidence in its execution make this one of the strongest entries in the franchise.

Often cited as the highest-rated film in the series, "Scream 2" stands as proof that horror sequels can be smarter, bigger, and more effective when they understand exactly what made the original resonate.

The film has a lot working against it. The dialogue often feels pulled straight from the novel, the tone is relentlessly dreary, and at 154 minutes it asks a lot of its audience. Mike Butler and Mike Field also struggle with the central romance, finding it hard to believe that Kidman's and Law’s characters would risk everything for a relationship that never really existed.

Despite those issues, the Mikes agree that "Cold Mountain" tells a compelling story and contains several genuinely powerful moments. Strong supporting performances, striking imagery, and episodic stretches of the journey help elevate the film beyond its flaws.

It may be long, heavy, and imperfect, but "Cold Mountain" still leaves an impression and offers enough substance to make the journey worthwhile.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field like this film quite a bit. It has a warmth to it that still works, anchored by strong performances and a story that taps into the fear and uncertainty of a changing corporate landscape. That said, the movie struggles a bit with perspective. The Mikes discuss how it never fully decides whether Topher Grace or Dennis Quaid is the true protagonist, which muddies the emotional throughline.

Butler also has some issues with the choices Quaid’s character makes, finding that certain decisions do not ring true. And while the ending is satisfying on a surface level, it leans heavily into a very Hollywood resolution, tying things up a little too neatly for characters supposedly pushing back against corporate conformity and somehow winning.

Even with those flaws, "In Good Company" remains a likable, well-meaning film with plenty of heart and enough insight to make it worth revisiting.

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how the great performances by Damon and Affleck push this film slightly above the Netflix norm. But poor writing, dark and empty sets with a skeleton cast keep this film from being all that it can be. Is this the future of cinema? Do we have to hear them say they have to get "the rip" 9000 times to remind second screen audiences what's going on?

Seems to us like it's mostly just films you'd find in the DVD bargain bin at your local superstore.

Mike Butler and Mike Field are not fans. While Vin Diesel does a good job, the movie falls apart on nearly every level. The plot is a mess, the writing is weak, the action lacks impact, and the overall execution never comes together. It manages to hit all the usual beats of early-2000s gritty action cinema, but in all the wrong ways.

Ironically, that makes for a very fun conversation. The Mikes dig into why "A Man Apart" serves as a perfect example of that era’s style without the substance to support it.

A rough watch, but an entertaining breakdown.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this film, especially its performances and lived-in storytelling. Michael Douglas delivers one of his most relaxed and likable roles, supported by an excellent ensemble, including Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr, that gives the movie its healthy dose of charm.

Butler’s one sticking point comes near the end. It’s not that the film opts for a happy ending, but that everything falls a little too neatly into place for Douglas’ character, leaning into a Hollywood resolution that feels slightly too convenient. Even so, that criticism barely dents what is otherwise a terrific film.

"Wonder Boys" is one of those movies that rewards revisiting and is easy to recommend to anyone looking for a movie for grown-ups about grown-ups.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field are big fans of the film. They praise the performances across the board, the tightly constructed story, and the way Boston itself feels like a living, breathing character woven into every scene. The film balances crime, character, and atmosphere in a way that keeps it gripping from start to finish.

That said, the Mikes still have a few notes. Field would have liked the movie to lean even harder into its heist elements, while Butler feels Blake Lively’s character, despite being essential to the setup of the climax, needed more to do to fully justify her narrative importance.

Even with those small critiques, "The Town" remains a standout modern crime film and one both hosts were happy to revisit.

Mike Butler went in hoping his opinion might change this time around. As a big fan of "Brazil", he wanted to connect with Terry Gilliam’s mix of sci-fi and absurdism. Unfortunately, his feelings haven’t shifted since first seeing it decades ago. Both Mike Field and Butler find the performances from Bruce Willis and especially Brad Pitt pushed too far into manic territory, making it hard to buy into the story.

They also struggle with the central relationships and logic of the film. The idea that the doctor would go along with Willis at all, let alone develop romantic feelings for him, feels completely unbelievable. Tonally, the movie seems stuck between wanting to be a serious science fiction story and an absurdist Gilliam nightmare, and it never settles on what it actually wants to be.

While they do appreciate the production design, props, and costumes used for the future sequences, the rest of the film falls flat for them. Still, with "12 Monkeys" being so well regarded by many, the Mikes openly acknowledge that this might be one of those "it's me, not you" moments.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field enjoy the film for what it is. It’s loud, crass, and occasionally very funny. That said, the movie never quite reaches its full comedic potential. The Mikes agree it could have used more fully realized comedy set pieces and a clearer sense of who the main character actually is, as the focus often feels split between competing perspectives.

Despite those issues, the core dynamic works well enough that the film almost feels like a backdoor pilot for a sitcom or spin-off. There’s a solid foundation here for something episodic, where the characters and conflicts could breathe a little more and let the comedy build naturally.

A flawed but enjoyable holiday watch, "Why Him?" lands somewhere between guilty pleasure and missed opportunity.

All three agree that this is the strongest entry in the Knives Out trilogy. While Mike Butler still prefers "Knives Out" overall, he feels "Wake Up Dead Man" is far more confident in its mystery, avoids the distracting mid-film twist structure, and finally gives Benoit Blanc real character development instead of turning him into a caricature.

Steven Bernstein praises the film primarily for its characters, even while acknowledging that some still veer a bit too far into farce, with the notable exception of Josh O’Connor’s standout performance. Butler responds more strongly to the film’s mystery and narrative focus, appreciating how the story unfolds without relying on gimmicks.

One thing everyone agrees on: "Glass Onion" remains the weakest of the trilogy by a wide margin.

With a thoughtful guest perspective and a deeper dive into what makes a mystery truly work, Mike Field and Mike Butler break down why "Wake Up Dead Man" feels like the series finally firing on all cylinders.

Both Butler and Field agree the movie is watchable, but just barely. The plot quickly starts to unravel, relying on Ben Affleck's character, Rudy and our villain, played by Gary Sinise, to make a series of frustratingly dumb decisions. The central twist involving the true mastermind only makes things worse, hinging on an absurd amount of coincidence and lucky timing to work at all.

That said, the performances help keep the film afloat, and the sheer ridiculousness of the story becomes part of its charm. The noir-inspired style, snowy setting, and hard-boiled attitude actually work in the film’s favor, giving it a vibe that’s more enjoyable than the script probably deserves.

So while "Reindeer Games" never quite comes together as a smart thriller, it remains a curious, messy entry from its era that’s easy enough to watch if your expectations are set appropriately.

Mike Butler has a soft spot for this one; partly out of nostalgia for the early-00s wave of gritty, street-level action movies, and partly because "Four Brothers" still delivers a certain messy charm. The energy, the brother dynamics, and the rough-edged style all hit the way they’re meant to.

Mike Field, however, isn’t buying it. He struggles with Mark Wahlberg’s improvisational approach, finds the action too over-the-top to fully suspend disbelief, and thinks the movie’s drama doesn’t land strongly enough to justify the chaos.

What the Mikes do agree on is the standout performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor, who elevates every scene he’s in and gives the film a much-needed dose of grounded menace.

So is "Four Brothers" a gritty throwback worth remembering, or a chaotic blend of tones that doesn’t come together? The Mikes break it all down—brotherhood, bullets, and all.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. Yes, it’s sweet, uplifting, and maybe a little too saccharin at times, but it delivers exactly the warm, comforting tone it’s aiming for. De Niro and Hathaway have fantastic chemistry, and the film’s steady, upbeat vibe makes it one of the more genuinely pleasant modern studio comedies.

The Mikes do take issue with a stretch of drama that arrives about halfway through the movie. It feels forced, a little too Hollywood, and somewhat undercuts the strength of Hathaway’s character by the time the film wraps up. But, "The Intern" is an uplifting film about mentorship, connection, and finding purpose at any age, so it’s easy to forgive the missteps.

Overall, it’s an easy watch, a charming film, and a reminder that sometimes “feel-good” doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

Butler has always had a soft spot for "Stripes"; he finds it fun, funny, and full of great bits, even if the movie goes completely off the rails in the third act with its top-secret Winnebago rescue mission behind Soviet lines. To him, the charm still lands, and the film plays like a proto-"Ghostbusters", where you can clearly see the seeds of Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Ivan Reitman finding the comedic rhythm they’d perfect a few years later. It’s nowhere near "Ghostbusters" in terms of quality, but there’s still plenty here he enjoys.

Field…does not share that affection. While he insists he doesn’t hate the movie, he doesn’t like the characters, he doesn’t like the jokes, and he doesn’t find much of the story appealing at all. For him, "Stripes" lands closer to a relic than a comedy classic.

So is "Stripes" an early comedy gem that deserves its fans, or just a messy draft of better things to come? The Mikes break it down; one laugh, and one grimace, at a time.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this film; the performances are excellent across the board, especially from Mads Mikkelsen, who delivers one of his most emotionally layered roles. The film walks a tricky tonal tightrope, balancing humor, melancholy, and hard truths about addiction, midlife crisis, and the search for meaning.

The Mikes discuss how the movie’s message lands gracefully without preaching, and how its final stretch (especially that unforgettable dance scene) cements it as something special. They also talk about why the film slipped under the radar for so many viewers: despite awards recognition, Another Round launched as a foreign-language release during the pandemic, which sadly, severely limited its reach.

A smart, moving, beautifully acted film that more people should see.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field had a fun time with this one; the action works, the world is engaging, and making a Yautja the protagonist is a bold swing that mostly pays off. Elle Fanning delivers strong performances as both Thia and Tessa, grounding the story even when the movie leans heavily into its video-game vibe.

But that’s also where the film hits its ceiling. As Butler points out, Badlands often feels like a really well-made video game you’d rather be playing than watching. It’s fun, fast, and entertaining in the moment…but pretty forgettable once you leave the theater.

And as much as we appreciate the franchise trying new things, the Mikes can’t help but wonder if it’s finally time to bring back the classic Predator design in full glory.

Another solid entry, but not one that will stay in your head—or spine—too long.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this film for its stellar performances across the board; especially from Philip Seymour Hoffman, who steals every scene he’s in. His portrayal of CIA operative Gust Avrakotos brings some of the best dialogue and energy in the film, including one of Field’s favorite movie scenes of the last 30 years.

The Mikes discuss how Sorkin’s script delivers complex political maneuvering and historical context with humor and clarity, never getting bogged down in heavy-handed messaging while still hinting at the long-term consequences of the events depicted. Smart, funny, and full of quotable lines, "Charlie Wilson’s War" stands as both an engaging character study and a reminder of how power, charm, and ego can shape history.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field appreciate the film’s concept and its stellar performances. It’s a visually stunning, often awe-inspiring piece of sci-fi filmmaking. But the deeper they dig into the story, the more the cracks start to show; plot holes, frustrating character decisions, and a third-act shift that feels like it belongs to a completely different movie.

Still, "Sunshine" remains a fascinating sci-fi entry worth watching for its ambition alone. It’s a film that soars when it leans on its ideas and visuals…and burns up a bit when it drifts too close to chaos.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field are huge fans of this Swedish horror masterpiece. With stunning direction, striking cinematography, and incredible performances, the film redefines what a vampire story can be; blending the supernatural with young love.

The Mikes explore how "Let the Right One" In approaches vampire lore in fresh, unexpected ways while telling a much deeper story. They also touch on the inevitable American remake; understanding why it exists, but still questioning why anyone felt the need to remake something already so perfect.

Whether you’re revisiting it or discovering it for the first time, "Let the Right One" In is the perfect film to close out spooky season: chilling, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. All on a snowy backdrop that's perfect to usher in the winter season.

What's your go-to Halloween watch?

After recently interviewing the filmmakers behind "ZombieCON Vol. 1", Butler and Field dive into the finished film itself. Both are impressed by the passion and craftsmanship that went into this indie horror-comedy. It’s clearly a labor of love, and the team behind it pulled off something that’s hard enough even without undead mayhem: completing a full-on independent feature.

From practical blood effects to cosplay and zombie action, ZombieCON Vol. 1 manages to juggle its ambition, humor, and gore while showing just how much heart and creativity can come from indie filmmaking.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field absolutely love this film. It’s zany, it’s silly, and it’s drenched in more blood and guts than you could possibly imagine. Like a deranged "Looney Tunes" short turned up to eleven, "Dead Alive" is a splatter-filled masterpiece that somehow balances absurdity with genuine craftsmanship.

The Mikes talk about how Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson) managed to create a film that’s as revolting as it is riotously fun. From lawnmower massacres to undead romance, this is the kind of movie that reminds you just how creative, shocking, and downright weird early 90s horror could be.

So grab your mop and your stomach...this one’s going to get messy.

Mike Field finds himself swept up in the film’s 80s charm, enjoying the practical effects, the British cast, and the sheer weirdness of it all. Mike Butler… not so much. While he admits some of the effects are impressive, he finds the story and themes to be all over the place. The movie can’t seem to decide what it wants to say about sexuality and femininity, swinging from empowerment to exploitation and back again without ever landing.

Still, buried beneath the chaos, Butler believes there’s a much better film somewhere inside Lifeforce. One that could’ve leaned into a darker, more restrained horror approach. With stronger direction, a clearer tone, and an HR Giger-inspired aesthetic, it could have been a haunting sci-fi masterpiece instead of an 80s fever dream.

So get your silver swords and keep your pants on, it's time for Forgotten Horror!

But while the aesthetics and sound are electric, the story struggles to keep that spark alive. Field and Butler agree Jared Leto is fine as Ares; the film's issues aren’t his fault. Instead, they point to weak writing, underdeveloped supporting characters, and the frustrating decision to mostly ignore elements from Legacy that made that film stand out.

"Tron: Ares" is a feast for the eyes and ears—but not quite the follow-up the franchise deserved. After this, it might be at least another decade before we see the Grid again.

Unfortunately…neither Mike Butler nor Mike Field are fans. While they can appreciate the craftsmanship: some strong visuals, solid practical effects, and moments of inspired direction, the rest of the film collapses under its own writing. The characters are grating, the plot feels forced, and the tone shifts so wildly that any tension or scares are replaced by confusion.

What’s most frustrating is that "Cabin Fever" clearly wants to honor classic horror setups like "The Evil Dead", "Friday the 13th", and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but ends up missing the point of what made those movies effective in the first place. It’s a film with the heart of a love letter to horror, but the writing chops of a bad parody.

So grab your bottled water and steer clear of that creek—it’s time to talk about a movie that infected the genre in all the wrong ways.

Both Mike Field and Mike Butler admire the filmmaking craft on display. Butler especially praises the cinematography, the striking shot choices, and the eerie use of setting and color that turns a decaying asylum into a character of its own. Field agrees that the direction and performances elevate the movie well beyond its budget.

However, Butler takes issue with the script, finding it thin and a bit too reminiscent of a college film student’s thesis project. Even so, both Mikes agree that Session 9 is an easy recommendation for filmmakers and horror fans interested in atmospheric storytelling, haunting locations, and the transition into the digital age of cinema.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field appreciate some of the ideas here—bringing Freddy Krueger into the “real” world, playing with Heather Langenkamp as herself, and giving Wes Craven and Robert Englund roles in their own nightmare. But as the Mikes discuss, the film doesn’t quite go far enough with its meta concept. Instead, it feels like wasted potential: not enough scares, not enough exploration of Craven himself, and too few moments where the horror fully delivers.

The Mikes also take a detour into the world of slashers at large, debating who their favorite killers are and where Freddy stands in the pantheon of horror icons.

So sharpen your claws, flip the script, and join Forgotten Cinema as Forgotten Horror 7 gets underway!

It’s no surprise that Mike Butler and Mike Field are fans when it comes to Spielberg, his filmmaking skill and ability to tell a story is always front and center. But this rewatch hit especially hard for Field, who now counts "War Horse" among his favorite Spielberg films.

The Mikes break down how the film looks absolutely stunning on screen, with Janusz Kamiński’s cinematography painting each frame like a classic war epic. They also highlight Spielberg’s practical approach—remarkably, there are only three digital shots in the entire film, all used solely to ensure the safety of the horses during production.

From emotional storytelling to technical brilliance, the Mikes explore why "War Horse" is both an underappreciated Spielberg film and a cinematic experience worth revisiting.

Mike Field finds the film hilarious, a snapshot of 70’s filmmaking with its gritty, almost indie style. Mike Butler, however, doesn’t find the comedy as effective; not because of the disparaging dialogue (he gets that it’s from a different time), but because the style itself feels lazy and wears thin.

Both agree that when the Hanson Brothers finally take the ice, the chaos they cause is wildly entertaining…though it takes nearly 48 minutes to get there. Holding the film together is Paul Newman, whose slimy yet irresistibly charming performance makes "Slap Shot" worth the watch, even if the humor doesn’t always hit.

After just completing their YouTube Lead Up series on the mainline The Conjuring films, Mike Field and Mike Butler appreciated how the film gave the Warrens a proper send-off, bringing closure to their story after more than a decade of haunting cases. But while the emotional wrap-up for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s characters worked, the rest of the film left them wanting more. The family at the center of the haunting, the scares themselves, and even the demon driving the possession all feel pushed to the background, as the focus shifts almost entirely onto the Warrens.

The Mikes also look ahead, speculating on where the franchise might go from here. With the Warrens’ story concluded, will The Conjuring Universe reinvent itself, double down on spinoffs, or finally find a fresh case worth haunting?

Mike Butler came into this rewatch with a new perspective, after not liking the film too much on his first viewing. He found a lot more to appreciate this time around, especially in a tense, uncomfortable dinner scene that he gushes about in the episode. Both he and Mike Field agree that the performances are excellent across the board, giving weight to the film’s depiction of life and death inside a WWII Sherman tank.

That said, the Mikes still have issues with some of the logic gaps in the climactic battle, and they can’t ignore the stories of how the set was run behind the scenes. Still, "Fury" remains a gripping war film that offers intensity, strong character work, and a perspective on WWII worth revisiting.

Both Butler and Field agree the movie is a fun ride, but it’s one that relies almost entirely on Cruise’s charm to keep it in the air. The film never really establishes a sense of risk or conflict, even as Barry’s world spins out of control. Instead of leaning into the tension of its story—especially in the third act—it plays things too lightly, making dangerous situations feel more like a joyride.

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field enjoy this one, even as they acknowledge the gaping plot holes and occasionally absurd storytelling. They break down why the father/son dynamic between Stallone’s character and his son actually works, how the arm wrestling sequences mostly deliver, and why the film’s tone somehow balances sincere melodrama with over-the-top (see what we did there?) sports action.

And, Field makes the case for Bull Hurley; the massive arm wrestling rival, as one of the great, underrated 80s villains.

No, not the Ridley Scott epic, but the 1992 underground boxing drama starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Marshall. While both Mike Field and Mike Butler agree it’s an enjoyable B-movie with solid performances, they can’t ignore the flaws: high school characters who look well past graduation, a clunky mix of teen drama and over-the-top fight scenes, and a storyline that doesn’t quite land. Still, there’s a lot of both 90's and B-movie "Rocky" charm, even if it never truly lands a knockout punch.

Mike Field, a longtime Linklater fan, is all in on the film’s nostalgic energy, naturalistic dialogue, and character-driven charm. Mike Butler? Not so much. While he appreciates the strong direction and rising-star performances from stars such as Glen Powell, Tyler Hoechlin, and Wyatt Russell, the movie’s hyper-specific focus on male bonding and college baseball culture doesn’t fully land.

Still, there’s no denying the talent on display or Linklater’s knack for capturing the rhythm of a time and place. Is "Everybody Wants Some!!" a dugout classic, or just a foul ball that looks like a homerun?

From skipping over way too much of their lives as heroes, to a not so stellar second hour, the Mikes felt less than fantastic after watching this newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Butler loved this movie when he was 13 and he still really likes it today, with a few logic and story issues. Field says he doesn't NOT like the film, but it kind of really seems like a hater. Along the way they'll discuss the alien creatures our survivors are trying to escape and the fact that Richard B. Riddick wasn't originally meant to survive or have the redemption arc that he does, but a young Dom Toretto charmed director David Twohy, studio execs, and the cast and crew. A twist of fate that would spawn 2 (and soon 3!) Riddick-centric sequels.

While both Mike Field and Mike Butler agree the film is well made and well acted, they also agree it’s held back by a clunky script and characters who make some truly baffling decisions. And while Denis Leary brings energy to the role, let’s just say he’s not exactly convincing as a hardened villain from the “hood”.

Still, there’s a solid thriller buried beneath the bad choices, questionable casting, and one of the most iconic genre soundtracks of the ‘90s. The bones are there, but does Judgment Night live or die by its execution?

Mike Field brings the praise; this is his favorite Cronenberg film. Mike Butler? Not so much. While the film’s tight runtime and strong performances are appreciated on both sides, the impact of the violence doesn’t quite land for Butler the way it does Field and apparently everyone else. Is that a product of time and increased violence in cinema?

The Mikes dig into Cronenberg’s themes, the stripped-down approach to storytelling, and it's themes about the pervasive nature of violence still resonate 20 years later.

Mike Butler revisits this one with a dose of teenage nostalgia, having watched it on cable back in the day, and still finds enjoyment in Candy’s charm and the offbeat buddy-cop setup with Levy. Mike Field, on the other hand, isn’t as forgiving. The guys break down why this film never quite clicks—from uneven character work to a script that trades sharp comedy for slapstick filler.

They also dig into the wild production history, including the revolving door of directors and stars, and how Harold Ramis tried to distance himself from the final product. There’s fun to be had here, but it’s far from 80s comedy greatness.

Mike Field and Mike Butler agree the film delivers when it comes to tension, pacing, and strong performances (shoutout to Gary Sinise!), but they clash over whether Gibson’s bold choices as a father were brave... or just plain reckless. They also dig into some of the kidnappers’ questionable motivations and plot logic.

It’s a taut '90s thriller with moral gray areas—and the Mikes are here for all of it.

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.

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 will go over what some of their favorite moments on the podcast were, and maybe some of their least favorite. They'll talk about the commercials that they filmed for many of the episodes and even answer some questions, submitted by listeners like you.

They'll mostly talk about the utter lack of conspiracy in this film and the amount of pure happenstance and convenience that is needed to keep the plot going. When that fails, the characters simply explain to you an entire subplot at the end of the film that they have never brought up before; but apparently has been the driving force of the entire film.

So, for one last time, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

SPACE PRISON!

Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they discuss the 2012 Luc Besson produced sci-fi action film Lockout, starring Guy Pearce. The Mikes talk about how they love Pierce's ripped from the 90's action hero, Snow, but regret that he wasn't placed in a better more (literally) grounded film. Butler loves the nostalgic feeling this movie has in it's feeling like a movie from a decade or two prior, but cannot and does not defend it from Field pointing out the poor story, shoddy CGI, and annoying secondary villain.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss this film starring Alec Baldwin, Bill Pullman, and Nicole Kidman. Both Mikes agree that Baldwin's role as a cocky surgeon is his most Alec Baldwin role, and he gets to deliver one of the greatest monologues in 90's cinema in this film. The Mikes, however, don't understand why the plot is so convoluted. The serial rapist murder plot is a subplot that serves absolutely no purpose in this film, and the main con that drives the second half the film is so contrived and silly that the only thing that saves this film is the good acting and great dialogue. But those two things alone make this a film worth going back to.

2001's Josie and the Pussycats!

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss this completely overlooked and underappreciated comedy, starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, and more.

The Mikes talk about how comedies of the late 90's and early 00's have been replaced by odd dramadies, that the film didn't pay or get paid for any of the real brands that were used (to hilarious effect) in the film. They also discuss the many cameo appearances, awesome dialogue, and easy to miss jokes in this film that deserves its spot on Forgotten Cinema!

That's right, Mike Butler and Mike Field are taking a look at yet another Joel and Ethan Coen film, The Hudsucker Proxy, starring Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Listen in as the Mikes discuss this quirky comedy. The story might be a little on the thin side, but the dialogue, acting, cinematography, and gags more than make up for it.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about this feel good 80's movie, that upon closer inspection leaves a lot to be desired in terms of story and character development. Butler enjoys the message of the movie and that film such as this would never be made nowadays, but like Field cannot get past the vague and sudden appearance of the little robots, or the lack of clear definition of its human cast of characters.

Listen in as the Mikes talk about Steve Martin playing his first serious on-screen role, the strange dialogue in Mamet films, the lack of mystery in this mystery film, and all the outside forces stacked against this film that made it forgotten.
