Dick Tracy

Get your walkie-talkie watches ready; the Mikes are traveling to a crime ridden pop-art 1930's in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy.

Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about what makes this 1990 film so interesting to watch. From the very specific color palate that was used, to the over the top make up and prosthetics used on some legendary actors who perform as over the top as the make-up effects themselves. Field and Butler will also discuss Warren Beatty's career as a director and how he ended up starring in and directing this feature that has clearly inspired many comic based films such as Sin City and more. They'll also take a stab at figuring out why such a hit in 1990 has been largely forgotten about today.

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.
