DragonHeart

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes go back in time to grift some villagers with a dragon sidekick as they revisit "DragonHeart" (1996), the medieval fantasy adventure starring Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, and the unmistakable voice of Sean Connery as Draco the dragon.

Butler brings the nostalgia, having watched the film as a kid, and still finds plenty to enjoy—from its message of honor to the humor and the rare vibe of a family-friendly fantasy that’s almost extinct today. Field? Not so much. While both hosts agree the film’s tone is all over the place, the villain is cartoonishly evil, and the plot has issues… there’s one thing they absolutely agree on: the score is legendary.

Is "DragonHeart" a charming adventure or a clunky misfire with great music? Join us as we take flight and find out.

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.
