1.5 - Valkyrie

Tom Cruise wears an eye patch and leads an amazing group of actors to overthrow Hitler and the Nazi Party during World War 2...what more could you ask for?!

Join Michael Butler and Michael Field as they discuss the Bryan Singer directed historical thriller, Valkyrie. The Mikes talk about using real life locations, the difficulty with telling a true story and keeping the audience in suspense, and the cinematic choices often (and perhaps over) used when telling stories set during WWII.

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

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
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.
