Bad Times at the El Royale

This week, the Mikes talk about the most recent movie on the show thus far, Bad Times at the El Royale, directed by Drew Goddard starring Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, and a whole lot more.

To the east, you have Mike Butler; a man who loves this eccentric, slick, well acted original picture that enjoys its characters, tale, and atmosphere.

To the west, there's Mike Field; a man who likes this film, yet constantly boards the Train of Negativity as he pokes holes all over the story, questions style, character, story, and cinematography choices.

That's right...it's gonna be one of those episodes!

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, 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.
