2.8 - 3:10 to Yuma

The Mike's saddle up to bring you another amazing episode of Forgotten Cinema with the 2007 film, 3:10 to Yuma, directed by James Mangold and starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.

Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss the importance of having characters that show you what their thinking and feeling through expression and body language over too much useless exposition, the true motivation for the outlaw Ben Wade, and why westerns don't seem to be the big American film anymore.

Also, Field dreams up his own sequel to the film.

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.
