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.

Customer Reviews
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.
Fun and informative listen!
Mike and Butler have wonderful chemistry and their lively discussion of forgotten and under appreciated cinema is well structured and researched. Their personal insights offer welcome critiques and fun tidbits of history on the productions and the history of filmmaking. It’s at times serious and thoughtful, and at others irreverent and absurd, but always an interesting listen.
