2.3 - Reign of Fire

The Mikes are joining the Kentucky Irregulars for this episode of Forgotten Cinema as they waver back and forth on their opinions of the 2002 Post-Apocalyptic, Dragon drama, Reign of Fire. Starring Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey...and dragons!

Find out what made this film so different from other summer blockbuster hopefuls. Listen to the Mikes talk about the merits of method acting in front of and off camera. They also discuss how important a tight, clear, and consistent screenplay is when establishing a new universe that your story takes place in.

So grab your popcorn, soda, and giant Dragon-Slaying axe, 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.
