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.

    The Abyss: Special Edition

    The Abyss: Special Edition

    The Mikes are diving down into the oceans depths to bring you this "special edition" episode. And by special edition we mean James Cameron's The Abyss: Special Edition!!!!!!
    Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss all the facts about the dangerous and stressful making of this film as well as why out of all director's cuts and special editions, this one is the one with the most importance on one's enjoyment of the film; as the theatrical version of The Abyss presents a meaningless and incoherent plot, lost to the cutting room floor for the sake of a specific runtime.

Amazing Find!!

Love how this podcast gets to the nitty-gritty of every film they discuss and the conversations are always so immersive and substantial, all while clearly having a great time! Hosts have such a respect for cinema, both from the perspective of the filmmakers and the audience, that their show reminds you what drew you to the movies, without an excess of sentimentality, and their astute observations will strike a note with every movie fan. There’s always so many great insights and fun banter, this is a show that will definitely have you anticipating the next episode!

Great Podcast!

Mike and Mike offer an excellent pod with fun, infectious energy and solid film insight. I love the format of the show and they aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. High recommendation!

Love their format

Really enjoy being reminded of movies I’d forgotten about. These guys do a great job with each movie. Their technical knowledge of movie making is an added dimension I really like.
