Delirious

The Mikes are writing their way into a soap opera with the help of John Candy and a magic typewriter as they take a look at the 1991 film Delirious.

Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they discuss a comedy that has some funny moments, but doesn't really work. Especially when you don't clearly establish the rules in the fantasy world that they create here.

Nevertheless, Field believes that this film has good bones and could be remade with the right talent behind it.

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.
